Airbnb VRBO Vacation Rental Pricing Intelligence Miami | Actowiz
Industry
Hospitality / Short-Term Rentals
Geography
United States — Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach (South Florida)
Data Coverage
Listing prices, occupancy, amenities, reviews, host data, neighborhood comps
Client Overview
The client is South Florida's leading short-term rental property manager with 2,800 units across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. Their revenue is driven by occupancy × ADR (average daily rate); even a 5% pricing optimization translates to millions in incremental owner payouts.
Airbnb and VRBO are the two dominant booking platforms — and pricing inefficiency on either translates to lost revenue every single night.
Business Challenges
Hyper-Local Pricing Volatility
Same condo could rent for $180/night on Tuesday and $480 on Saturday — and prices depended heavily on neighborhood, view, and event calendar.
Event-Driven Demand Spikes
Miami Heat playoffs, Art Basel, Ultra Music Festival, Super Bowl — all dramatically moved prices, but no single dashboard captured all events.
Competitor Property Identification
Identifying truly comparable properties (same bedroom count, view, amenities, neighborhood) was harder than it sounded.
Review-Driven Booking Decisions
Properties with sub-4.7 ratings dropped 25%+ in bookings; review monitoring was critical.
Project Objectives
The client partnered with Actowiz Solutions to:
Track 35,000+ South Florida Airbnb & VRBO listings daily
Compute neighborhood-level ADR and occupancy benchmarks
Detect competitor pricing moves within 6 hours
Cross-reference local event calendars for demand forecasting
Feed insights into the client's revenue management system
