On this week’s episode, Avery is joined by Stacey St. John to dig into what’s really happening in today’s short-term rental market, with a particular focus on Myrtle Beach. They discuss how travel behavior has shifted toward more last-minute bookings, why pricing and revenue management matter more than ever, and how investors should think about buying opportunities in slower, more negotiable vacation markets. Stacey also shares her approach to scaling a property management portfolio, the importance of early bookings, and why tools like PriceLabs still require hands-on strategy. The conversation wraps with insights on growth goals, market seasonality, and opportunities for women looking to deepen their short-term rental education.
