Question 1

What is a short-term rental?

Accepted Answer

A short-term rental (STR) is a furnished property available for a limited duration, typically a few days to a few weeks. In Wilmington, STRs are commonly defined as stays of 29 days or less, and are often listed on platforms like Airbnb and VRBO.

Question 2

Are short-term rentals profitable?
