    How it starts

    Three steps from first call to first guest

    Tell us about the home, the street and what you want it to earn. We tell you honestly whether it suits short-term guests.

    A researched estimate

    Bring the Durham address and the use approved for it. We review comparable homes by hand, discuss the property’s amenities, and explain the estimate on a call; an estimate does not confirm zoning eligibility.

    Terms

    Our terms

    The nightly-rate income your home earns, never guest-paid cleaning fees, lodging or sales taxes, or damage deposits.

    Itemized statements

    Every deduction is listed line by line on your owner statement.

    Durham use and zoning

    Establish the permitted use before you host

    Durham’s rules do not clearly establish a general category for unattended whole-home short stays. The UDO provides a qualified bed-and-breakfast pathway with a resident owner or manager; ask Planning to confirm the property’s use and zoning before considering bookings.

    Overnight accommodationThe UDO defines overnight accommodations as residential units arranged for stays of less than 30 days.
    Someone resides on siteA bed-and-breakfast must have an owner or manager residing on site.
    Approved floor planThe bed-and-breakfast standards require an approved floor plan on file with the Inspections Department.
    Guest-room facilitiesRooms in the bed-and-breakfast category cannot have cooking facilities.
    Parcel-specific approvalLimited-use standards and any required special-use approval depend on the parcel’s use-table entry.
    Accommodation taxesNorth Carolina taxes accommodation receipts at the applicable state, local, and transit rates, with any applicable local occupancy tax.

    Sources: Durham UDO; bed-and-breakfast standards; use table; North Carolina accommodation taxes, checked October 2026. Check the official requirements before you apply.

    Why we price your home, not the market

    Start with the accommodation use permitted at your Durham address. The UDO’s bed-and-breakfast pathway requires a resident owner or manager, and unattended whole-home eligibility needs Planning confirmation.

    For an eligible property, our discussion considers the rooms, amenities, and the homes guests can compare. Duke games and downtown film events give us dates to discuss alongside your own availability.

    Send the address and bedroom count with the use confirmation you have. We will walk through the comparable homes and the practical listing and pricing decisions on a call.

    How to choose an Airbnb management company in Durham

    Ask every company the same questions, us included:

    License and taxes

    Who handles local licensing and hotel occupancy tax reports?

    Fee base

    Which charges enter the management fee base, and which stay outside it?

    Contract

    What contract term and cancellation notice apply?

    Local team

    Who provides local cleaning, restocking and maintenance?

    Owner statement

    Is every deduction itemized on the owner statement?

    Reviews

    Where can you read recent guest and owner reviews?

    Questions

    Durham owners usually ask

    What does One Fine BnB charge in Durham?

    Partner 10% (owner has their own cleaning and maintenance team). Full Service from 20%, one-time $500 onboarding retainer. Management fees apply to rental revenue, never guest-paid cleaning fees, taxes or deposits.

    Who pays for cleaning between stays?

    Guests do, through the cleaning fee on the booking, so turnovers cost you nothing.

    How does the estimate work?

    Send the address and the number of bedrooms. We look up your home, check real comparable homes by hand and account for your amenities. Then we schedule a call to go over the results with you.

    Does Durham clearly allow an unattended whole-home short-term rental?

    The official UDO sources reviewed here do not establish that general permission. Ask Durham Planning to confirm how the address is classified before treating a whole home as eligible.

    Who must live at a Durham bed-and-breakfast?

    The UDO requires an owner or manager to reside on site, and the applicable limited-use standards and approvals still need to be met.
