The Big Platforms Just Got More Expensive, and More Restrictive

If you rent on Airbnb or Vrbo, a lot has changed this year, and more is on the way.

  • Airbnb now takes about 15.5% of every booking. That isn’t only on your rent. It’s charged on your cleaning, pet and extra-guest fees too, and it comes right out of your payout.

  • Vrbo moves to a 12% commission on October 29, up from about 8% for most owners, and it still charges your guests a service fee on top. Vrbo gets paid by both of you.

  • Starting November 20, 2026, Airbnb limits what you can ask of guests. Hosts can no longer require guests to wash dishes, strip beds, start laundry, take trash off-site or skip amenities like the AC. Hosts also can’t post extra rules in messages or on signs in the home, and most can’t require their own rental agreement.

On a $5,000 Shore week, Airbnb keeps $775. Over a 10-week summer, that’s $7,750, and more if you charge cleaning or pet fees.

On Shore Summer Rentals, you pay one flat yearly membership, as low as $349. You keep 100% of your rent, and your home stays under your rules.
