Palm Beach is the barrier island, not the city across the water. We mean the Town of Palm Beach — a 16-mile sliver of sand between the Atlantic and the Lake Worth Lagoon, and one of the wealthiest addresses in America. This is Worth Avenue and its hidden vias, The Breakers and its lawns, Whitehall and the Flagler Museum, Mar-a-Lago, Bethesda-by-the-Sea, and the Estate Section mansions along South Ocean Boulevard that locals call Billionaires' Row. People come for the season — November through April — to ride out the cold up north in a place where the galas, the polo in nearby Wellington, and the shopping all run on the same calendar. They don't come for a cheap weekend, and they pay accordingly. If you own here, your guest is a snowbird family or a gala-circuit couple, and your competition is a private club.
Demand here is seasonal, deep, and price-insensitive at the top. The engine isn't weekend tourism — the Town bans nightly rentals — it's the three-to-six-month winter lease for snowbirds, equestrian families chasing the Wellington circuit, and executives who keep a Palm Beach base for The Season. Oceanfront and lakefront homes in the Estate Section command the most; the North End and condos along South Ocean Boulevard fill the working tier. December through April is the whole ballgame: the Winter Equestrian Festival, the polo finals, sixty-plus charity galas, and the boat show stack one furnished-lease premium on top of another.

Cavmir wins here because Palm Beach rewards positioning over volume. You're not fighting for nightly clicks — you're landing one or two long, lucrative seasonal tenants a year, and the listing that books them looks like a Sotheby's spread, not a phone snapshot. We shoot your property cinematically, build a brand and a direct-booking site that reads as discreet rather than loud, and put it where advisors, relocation agents, and seasonal renters actually look. In a town this private, the marketing is the whole sale.
Palm Beach is essentially one man's idea that never stopped paying off — a winter address invented by a railroad and a handful of hotels. Cavmir simply writes the modern chapter.
Palm Beach is essentially one man's idea that never stopped paying off. In the 1890s Henry Flagler ran his Florida East Coast Railway down the coast and, where the tracks reached this barrier island, built hotels to fill them. The Hotel Royal Poinciana opened in 1894 and was briefly the largest wooden building on earth; the Palm Beach Inn followed on the oceanfront in 1896 and was soon renamed The Breakers after guests kept asking for rooms 'down by the breakers.' In 1902 Flagler finished Whitehall, a 60,000-square-foot marble house for his wife Mary Lily — today the Flagler Museum, a National Historic Landmark. That single stretch of railroad and hospitality invented the Palm Beach 'season,' an eight-to-twelve-week winter migration of Gilded Age wealth that the town still runs on more than a century later.
The 1920s land boom layered on the architecture that defines the island now — Addison Mizner's Mediterranean Revival villas, the shops and vias of Worth Avenue, and Marjorie Merriweather Post's Mar-a-Lago, finished in 1927 and stretching, as its name says, from sea to lake. The Town incorporated in 1911 and has guarded its character ever since with some of the strictest zoning in the country. That history shapes the rental inventory you see today: this is not a market of purpose-built vacation condos. It's grand single-family estates in the Estate Section, North End houses, and a tier of oceanfront and lakefront condominiums along South Ocean Boulevard — almost all of it leased, when it's leased at all, as high-end furnished seasonal homes rather than nightly rentals. The supply is scarce, the buyers are cash, and the whole market turns on a single winter calendar.
Before the platforms, Flagler's hotels and Mizner's villas sold this island to Gilded Age wealth — on the strength of a single winter calendar the town still runs on. The channel changed; the work is identical: presentation, positioning, and scarcity. It is the same business Cavmir is in today.

Price tracks address and water more than square footage. In the Estate Section — the Mizner-era mansions between Worth Avenue and Mar-a-Lago — a full-season furnished lease can run into six figures a month, and the trophy oceanfront homes on South Ocean Boulevard sit in a category of their own. The North End, with its smaller single-family houses, anchors the more attainable end of the seasonal market. Oceanfront and lakefront condos along South Ocean Boulevard make up the working tier, where season-long furnished leases and the rare permitted shorter stay land in a broad monthly range depending on the building, the view, and how close to the holidays you're booking. Two levers move the number more than anything else: water (direct ocean beats lake, lake beats inland) and timing (a lease signed for the January-to-March core prices well above the same home offered for a soft, open-ended stay). Everything peaks December through April, and the gap between a sharply positioned property and a flat one is wide.
The Season is November through April, and the super-peak is December through April, when the population swells, the galas run nightly, and Wellington's equestrian and polo circuits are in full swing. May through October is hot, humid, hurricane-prone, and very quiet. The revenue most owners blow is the holiday-to-Easter core — pricing a season-long lease flat instead of anchoring it to the January-through-March window when demand and willingness to pay both peak.
This is the part that defines the whole market, so read it carefully. The Town of Palm Beach is its own municipality with its own zoning — completely separate from the City of West Palm Beach across the water — and it is one of the most restrictive rental jurisdictions in Florida. In the Town's residential districts, short-term and transient rentals (Airbnb, Vrbo, nightly stays) are prohibited. The Town's zoning code defines residential use around a minimum occupancy of not less than three months, and our reading of the code and the Town's own guidance is that stays of less than three months are capped at no more than three times per calendar year — confirm the exact current language with the Town's Planning, Zoning & Building department before you market anything, because this is the line you cannot cross. In practice the legal product on this island is the furnished seasonal lease of three months or longer, not nightly hosting. On top of Town zoning, individual condo and homeowner associations layer their own leasing rules — many set their own minimum lease terms and approval processes — so the building's declaration governs even where the Town might otherwise allow a stay. On taxes: short-term rentals (six months or less) in Palm Beach County owe the 6% Tourist Development Tax collected by the county, plus Florida's 6% state sales tax and the county discretionary surtax (0.5% as of January 2026), for a combined burden in the neighborhood of 12.5%. Because the Town effectively bans the nightly product, most owners here operate in the longer-lease lane where transient taxes may not apply — verify your specific situation with the county tax collector and an accountant.
The Palm Beach strategic tip: stop thinking like an Airbnb host and start thinking like a seasonal-estate broker. The town has taken the nightly game off the table, so your money is made by landing one or two long, premium furnished leases a year — and the entire decision happens before a tenant ever calls, based on how your property is presented and where it's seen. That reframes everything you spend on marketing.
Tactically, four moves. First, shoot it like a listing, not a rental — cinematic, architectural photography that does justice to the Mizner bones, the ocean or lake view, and the pool, because a $100,000-a-month tenant is buying a feeling and your photos are the feeling. Second, anchor your pricing to the January-through-March core rather than quoting a flat season-long number; the holiday-to-Easter window carries the real premium, and pricing it flat leaves money on the table. Third, get in front of the advisor and relocation channel — seasonal renters, equestrian families chasing the Wellington circuit, and corporate relocations come through agents and referral networks, not through generic search, so your brand and direct site need to read as credible to that audience. Fourth, lead with the calendar tie-ins in your copy: name the Winter Equestrian Festival, the polo finals, the gala season, the boat show — that's the language your tenant is already using when they decide to come. And underneath all of it, book direct: build the owned website and email list so your repeat snowbird family comes back to you next winter without a platform skim, because in a market of scarce inventory and recurring tenants, the relationship is the asset.
The headwinds are real: the Town's rental ban removes the nightly product entirely, condo and HOA rules can be stricter still, and the season is short and weather-dependent, with a long, dead, hurricane-exposed summer. Inventory is scarce and tenants are sophisticated, so the bar for presentation is high, carrying costs — insurance, upkeep, staffing — are steep, and because you may only sign one or two leases a year, a single missed Season can swing your whole twelve months. Margin for a sloppy listing is essentially zero.
Insurance is a serious line item here, not a footnote. You're on a barrier island in a hurricane state, so expect windstorm and flood coverage on top of a standard policy, and expect the premiums to reflect oceanfront exposure and high replacement values. If you lease the home furnished, make sure your policy actually contemplates tenant occupancy rather than owner-only use — a standard homeowner's policy often won't — and document the contents. Work with a Florida coastal specialist; mainland assumptions don't transfer to this island.
On the rental side, true transient stays (six months or less) in Palm Beach County carry the county's 6% Tourist Development Tax plus Florida's 6% state sales tax and the 0.5% county surtax (as of January 2026) — roughly 12.5% combined. Because the Town effectively bans the nightly product and most owners operate in the longer-lease lane, those transient taxes may not apply to your specific arrangement — but the rule is length-dependent and easy to get wrong. Florida has no state income tax, which is a big part of why the snowbirds keep coming. Property taxes on multimillion-dollar estates are substantial. Ask your accountant where your lease length lands and what you actually owe.
Financing here skews away from conventional loans because the island runs largely on cash — the average transaction clears well into eight figures. Owners who do borrow tend to use private-bank or jumbo/portfolio products rather than agency loans, and second-home rules apply if you're not making it a primary residence. DSCR investor loans are harder to lean on when the income is one seasonal lease rather than year-round nightly revenue, so lenders will look closely at the lease and your reserves.
The rules that decide your year here come from the town that zones the house, the association that runs the building, the county tax office and the state, and they don't line up neatly. On the island, the Town keeps nightly stays out of its residential districts and its officials have said the same of timeshares, so the furnished seasonal lease is the product, and any shared-ownership pitch for an island house needs a zoning check first. The surprise for most owners comes on the tax side. Palm Beach County treats any rental of six months or less as transient, so a season-long lease on the island is taxed the same way as a weekend stay in West Palm Beach unless it runs past that line. Enforcement often starts at the tax office: in 2023, South Palm Beach's town attorney told condo owners that the county Tax Collector runs an online program, and that an owner whose unit she sees advertised can expect a bill.
Palm Beach County charges a 6% Tourist Development Tax, the bed tax, on the revenue from transient rentals of six months or less. The sales tax rides on top, and it changed this year. The county's 1% infrastructure surtax was repealed effective December 31, 2025, a 0.5% school capital-outlay surtax replaced it, and the combined sales tax fell from 7% to 6.5% on January 1, 2026, which is Florida's 6% plus the county's 0.5%. Add the bed tax, and a short stay that carried 13% in 2025 carries 12.5% now. If your direct-booking engine, invoice template or channel manager still adds 13%, you're overcharging guests and remitting the wrong split, so fix it before the first arrival of the season. The exit from the system is length. The county exempts a continuous residence agreement longer than six months, and Airbnb stops collecting state tax on reservations longer than 182 nights. A lease that ends short of that line is taxed on every dollar of rent, and the cleaning fee counts too.
On Airbnb, the platform collects Florida's 6% and the county's 0.5% surtax on reservations of 182 nights and shorter, figured on the listing price including the cleaning fee. It doesn't collect the 6% bed tax. The Tax Collector says online platforms don't remit Tourist Development Tax to it, so the host collects that share from the guest and sends it in, and even an Airbnb-only owner has a county account to run. The setup goes in order: open a Tourist Development Tax account for each listing using the parcel's property control number, then get a Short-Term Rental Local Business Tax Receipt tied to that account, and print both numbers in every ad. Recent processing times run 1-3 business days online and 10-15 business days by mail, and the receipt renews every year online. Returns are due on the 1st of each month for the month before and turn late after the 20th, and a month with no bookings still needs a $0.00 return. On a direct booking nobody collects anything for you, so your site charges the full 12.5%, the sales-tax share goes to the state and the bed tax goes to the county. Confirm the current figures with the Palm Beach County Tax Collector, and have an accountant who files county bed-tax returns set your calendar before the season opens.
Off the island the county is a patchwork, and the town line sets the rules. Florida defines a vacation rental around stays shorter than 30 days or one calendar month, and a 2011 state law keeps most cities from regulating them, which is why rules already on the books before it carry so much weight here. South Palm Beach, the condo strip just south of the Town, kept a town-code minimum of at least 30 days because its rule predates that 2011 law, and its condo owners who rent need state and county licenses. North Palm Beach has required a certificate of registration for every vacation rental since October 1, 2021, with an inspection to register, an annual inspection to renew, renewal due by October 1 each year, a village minimum stay, and any change reported within 30 days. West Palm Beach runs its own business tax receipt for rentals, separate from the county's. Any association can be tighter than all of them. Treat this as a list of questions, and take the final answer from each town's clerk and a local real-estate attorney.
The name Palm Beach sells a whole string of towns within a short drive of Worth Avenue, and each one answers the rental question its own way. The island sells the season and nothing shorter. The mainland and the beach towns to the north and south sell everything from a boat-show weekend to a month on the water, under rules that change at each town line. Match the house to the guest who already books that address, then check the rule that governs it, in that order. It's the read Cavmir starts from when we market a home here, because in this county the address decides both the story and what you're allowed to sell.
Inside the Town the guest is the season: the family that takes a house from the holidays to Easter, the couple on the gala circuit, the equestrian parents who want the beach on their day off. The Estate Section and Midtown, walkable to Worth Avenue and the ocean, carry the trophy single-family product, and those tenants pay for privacy and a pool. The North End is quieter and more residential, close to the Lake Trail and the inlet, and it suits families who want a bigger lot and a calm street. The South End is mostly condos along South Ocean Boulevard, and there the building's declaration is the rulebook: an association can set its own minimum lease, limit how often a unit is leased and require board approval of every tenant. Before you buy, read the declaration and the rules, ask the manager how long a tenant approval takes in December, and put the 12.5% transient tax into the math for any lease of six months or less.
South Palm Beach is a small oceanfront town with 27 condominiums on South Ocean Boulevard, and its code allows only rentals of at least 30 days. That fits the month-long snowbird who wants an oceanfront condo for the winter, and it rules out the weekend. Across the bridges, West Palm Beach is the county's working short-stay market. The blocks around Clematis Street and the downtown waterfront sell walkability to boat-show exhibitors, business travelers and weekend couples. Northwood, north of downtown, sells a quieter base with its own shops and restaurants. El Cid and Flamingo Park sell the historic house with a pool, a few minutes across the bridge from the island. Before you buy there, check whether the house sits in a historic district, because exterior changes in El Cid and Flamingo Park go through preservation review, and line up the city's rental receipt on top of the county's account and receipt.
North Palm Beach is a waterfront village on the way north to Juno Beach and Jupiter, and its homes on the water suit the boater who wants a dock and a quiet street for a week or a month. It also runs the most formal registration nearby: a village certificate since October 1, 2021, an inspection before you register, another every year to renew by October 1, a village minimum stay, and any change reported within 30 days. Wellington, inland, is the equestrian season: riders, trainers and families who need the whole circuit, a short drive to the showgrounds and room for gear. Many of those properties sit inside communities with their own associations, so ask for the lease rules before you ask the price. Jupiter and Juno Beach pull spring-training fans and beach families on their own calendars, and each town writes its own code. Confirm the current rules with each town before you buy, and get the answer in writing.
Don't expect Palm Beach to loosen up. The Town's whole brand is exclusivity, and its rental restrictions exist precisely to keep transient traffic out of residential streets — so the nightly-Airbnb door is unlikely to open through 2027 and beyond. That's not a problem for a smart owner; it's the moat. Scarce, tightly regulated inventory plus relentless demand for winter footing in a no-income-tax state is exactly the setup that keeps furnished-season pricing firm. The durable drivers all point the same way: continued in-migration of wealth to South Florida, the gravitational pull of the Wellington equestrian and polo circuits each winter, and a social calendar that isn't going anywhere. The risk to watch isn't oversupply — it's the opposite, the cost and difficulty of operating an estate on a hurricane-exposed barrier island. The owners who win the next several seasons will be the ones who treat their property as a marketed asset — distinctive brand, cinematic listing, direct relationships with returning tenants — rather than a passive house they list and hope for. In a market where you only get a handful of bookings a year, each one has to count, and that's a marketing problem before it's anything else.
We love Palm Beach because it's the rare market where restraint outsells volume. Most destinations reward whoever shouts loudest and posts most often. This island rewards the opposite — discretion, quality, and a presentation that whispers money rather than yelling it. The town that banned nightly rentals and guards its zoning like a moat has, almost by accident, created the perfect conditions for marketing that's actually good: when you can't win on price or availability, you have to win on how the property makes someone feel, and that's a creative problem we genuinely enjoy. Shooting a Mizner villa with the late light coming off the lagoon, writing copy that name-checks the season a snowbird is already dreaming about — that's the fun part.
It's also a market with a real story baked in, and stories sell. Every block here connects back to Flagler's railroad, Mizner's arches, Post's sea-to-lake palace — a hundred-plus years of glamour you can lean on without inventing a thing. The creative DNA of marketing in Palm Beach is editorial, not transactional: you're presenting a chapter of a famous town, not filling a calendar. And because the tenant base is small, sophisticated, and prone to coming back winter after winter, the work compounds. Get the brand and the photography right once, build the direct relationship, and you're not starting from zero every season — you're welcoming someone home. That's the kind of marketing we like doing, and Palm Beach is built for it.
A great property in Palm Beach doesn't just want a listing — it wants a point of view, an audience, and a brand the city itself would recognise.
A working list for guiding guests — and for shooting and writing your listing. These are the real Palm Beach moments that make a property feel like the island, not just a house on it.
Start with a walk or bike along the paved lakeside path that runs the western edge of the island — flat, shaded, and lined with the backs of grand estates. It's the most quietly Palm Beach thing your guests can do before the day heats up, and it photographs beautifully at first light.
The town's public oceanfront stretch off Worth Avenue turns gold in the late afternoon, with the dune line and sea-grape framing the water. It's the shot that sells the listing — and the calm hour after the beach crowd thins is when the island feels most yours.
Don't just walk the storefronts — duck into the hidden vias, the courtyard passages Mizner tucked behind the shops, with fountains, spiral stairs, and bougainvillea. They're the most photogenic corners on the island and most visitors never find them.
Dinner on the property of Flagler's 1896 oceanfront hotel is the quintessential Palm Beach evening — ocean light, old-world rooms, and a sense of occasion. Reserve ahead in season; it books out around the gala calendar.
From December to April the island runs on charity balls — sixty-plus of them, peaking in February. You don't have to attend to use it: the season's social calendar is the rhythm your seasonal tenant is moving to, so build your timing and copy around it.
Before the holiday crush, the weather's perfect and the island's quieter — a real window for tenants who want the season without the peak-week premium. Most owners overlook it; price and pitch the early-season shoulder and you can fill weeks others leave empty.
Twenty-odd minutes inland, the Winter Equestrian Festival and the polo finals are the off-island magnet that fills Palm Beach leases all winter. Point guests there — and point your marketing at the families who come for it.
The recurring request here isn't a weekend — it's a furnished home they can settle into for the whole season, walkable to Worth Avenue, with a pool and an ocean or lake view. Build your listing and your pricing around the long stay, because that's what this island's tenants actually want.
Guests who find a Palm Beach rental on Airbnb search its name afterwards, and the page they should land on is the owner’s own site. Cavmir builds vacation rental websites of 40 to 125 pages in the owner’s brand. For a home that only lists on Airbnb, that is a website for your Airbnb: your name and domain, your photos, your area guides and your reviews, with a button that sends guests to the listing. For homes on Hostaway, Guesty or Hospitable it is a direct booking website: live availability and prices from the PMS, the whole stay priced before checkout, and the booking completed in the PMS. Both start from the same vacation rental website design, run the TrollBuster™ compliance scan before launch, and are yours at launch: domain, code, content and photos.
The guide pages of a Palm Beach site can start with the picks on this page: The Lake Trail, Midtown Beach and Worth Avenue & the vias. Each one is a search a guest makes before choosing a home, and each becomes a page that leads to the booking button.
Packages start at $1,475 for the Starter Website (40 pages, two to three weeks) and run to $3,732 for Full with Direct Booking (125 pages, booking synced with your PMS); the current prices are on the pricing page.
A few composite engagements that show how we work in a market like this. Details are illustrative and drawn from typical Palm Beach situations, with numbers consistent with the island's seasonal-lease economics — not specific named clients.
An owner of a high-floor oceanfront condo was leaving weeks empty each season and quoting a flat season-long rate. The listing leaned on dated phone photos that flattened the view, and inquiries skewed to last-minute, low-ball offers.
Cavmir reshot the unit cinematically to make the ocean view the hero, rebuilt the listing copy around the January-to-March core and the season's social calendar, and stood up a clean direct-booking page so repeat tenants could rebook without a platform skim.
The following season the unit filled its peak window earlier at a meaningfully stronger effective rate, the empty shoulder weeks shrank, and a returning tenant rebooked direct — turning a passive listing into a recurring relationship.
A Mizner-era furnished villa relied entirely on word-of-mouth through one agent and had no brand of its own. When that channel was quiet, the house sat dark, and the owner had no way to reach the equestrian and relocation families driving winter demand.
Cavmir built a distinct brand identity and a direct site for the home, produced an editorial photo and video set that played up the architecture and garden, and put the property in front of the advisor and relocation channel that actually books season-long Palm Beach leases.
The villa landed a full-season furnished tenant ahead of the holidays at a strong monthly rate, and the owned brand and email list gave the owner a repeatable pipeline rather than dependence on a single agent's quiet stretches.
A North End house was priced and marketed like a generic long-term rental, missing the seasonal premium entirely. The listing read as ordinary, ignored the island's calendar, and attracted year-round inquiries instead of the higher-paying winter tenant.
Cavmir repositioned it as a furnished seasonal home, reshot it for warmth and light, rewrote the copy to lead with proximity to the Lake Trail, the beach, and the Wellington circuit, and tuned the pricing to anchor on the holiday-to-Easter window.
The home shifted from flat year-round interest to a competitive season-long lease at a clear premium over its prior rate, with a stronger direct-inquiry mix and a tenant profile aligned to the island's high-paying winter demand.
Demand in Palm Beach peaks around January, February and March and runs quietest around June through September. Here is how the year actually books — and what to do about each stretch of the calendar.
The season runs December through April, when the Northeast decamps to Palm Beach County and the social, equestrian and show calendars all fire at once. This is a market of long winter stays and guests who notice details, so the listing has to be dialed, with real photography and honest, polished copy, by Thanksgiving. Hold rates through Easter and build minimum stays around the month-long guest, because that's who this market actually serves.
May and November are the graceful edges of season, good for late-departing and early-arriving winter guests, plus wedding parties and golf trips at softer prices. The play is to keep quality high and minimums shorter, pitch the same properties to weekenders that snowbirds take by the month, and price the strong dates around spring training's tail and early-season charity events individually.
June through September is the quiet, with heat, storm season and the social calendar gone north. Chase month-plus stays from relocating professionals, home renovators between houses, and the families who visit relatives in summer regardless. Flexible cancellation terms calm hurricane-season nerves, and the lull is the right window for maintenance and a photography refresh before the winter guests start booking in early fall.
Season books far ahead: the best winter homes are reserved by late summer, and equestrian families commit before the circuit begins. Event weeks like the Boat Show fill early too, while business and weekend stays move inside a few weeks. Practically, your winter rates and photography need to be right by August, because the highest-value guests decide in the fall.
Winter skews long, with month-plus stays common and equestrian guests booking entire seasons, while the rest of the year runs on three-to-five-night trips and short-notice business stays. A listing configured for real living, with a working kitchen, laundry and a desk, captures the long-stay money that defines this market.
The winner here is a renovated single-family home with a heated pool in West Palm's character neighborhoods, El Cid, Flamingo Park, SoSo, Northwood, close to the bridges, the waterfront and the restaurants. In Wellington, homes with space for the equestrian season are their own thriving category. Presentation expectations run high in this market: guests compare your listing to genuinely beautiful homes, so styling, linens and photography have to hold up, and a styled outdoor living area often closes the booking.
Speak to the season guest first: photography and styling that hold up against genuinely beautiful homes, listing copy that answers a month-long visitor's practical questions, and winter pricing set by late summer when Northeasterners actually decide. Then add a Google Business Profile for map visibility and a simple direct-booking site, because this market runs on repeat winter guests and equestrian families who would gladly rebook the same house direct every year. That's the stack Cavmir builds for hosts here, and the repeat-season dynamic makes it unusually valuable.
December through April is the peak, anchored by long winter stays and stacked with the equestrian circuit, spring training, the Palm Beach Show and the Boat Show. Mid-April's Barrett-Jackson auction gives the season a final kick. June through September is the quiet stretch.
The best winter homes are reserved by late summer, equestrian families commit before the circuit starts in January, and event weeks like the Boat Show fill early. Business and weekend stays move on a much shorter fuse year-round. If your season pricing isn't set by August, the highest-value guests will book past you.
The Northeast, overwhelmingly, with New York the dominant feeder and Boston, Philadelphia and Washington behind it, most arriving through Palm Beach International. Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Orlando drivers fill weekends and event dates. Ads aimed at the New York area in early fall tend to reach the season deciders.
A heated pool and a genuinely styled outdoor living area lead, because winter guests here live outside. After that, the long-stay essentials: a kitchen that really cooks, laundry, quality linens and a workspace, since month-plus guests judge a house as a home, not a hotel room. Garage parking and bikes round out the list, and pet-friendliness widens your audience in a market that travels with its dogs.
Run your Airbnb, Vrbo, or website through Cavmir's free grader. It checks the things that decide whether guests book in Palm Beach — photos, listing copy, page speed, local search — and shows you where bookings leak. Takes about a minute, and there's no sales call attached.
If the report says your booking engine is the weak link, that's fixable: a direct-booking website of your own means repeat guests stop paying platform fees to come back to you. That's the work Cavmir does — see Airbnb website design in Palm Beach.
Send us the listing and we'll tell you what we'd change. Not a pitch deck — a straight read on your photos, your title, your rates against the Palm Beach comp set, and whether a direct-booking site would pay for itself.
You'll hear back from a person, usually inside one business day. If we don't think we can move your numbers, we'll say so. Cavmir is a short-term rental marketing agency — we position and market properties, we don't manage them.
