Naples and Marco Island draw an affluent, beach-and-golf crowd, and limited hotel capacity pushes more of that demand into vacation rentals — especially in winter.
Collier County management
Airbnb & short-term rental management for Collier County owners.
Naples and Marco Island are a luxury, highly seasonal market — where condo and community rules often matter more than the county’s. We help owners register correctly and price for a high season that can run two to three times summer rates. We handle pricing, guests, and turnovers end to end.

Market snapshot
What the Collier County short-term rental market looks like.
High season runs roughly December through April, when nightly rates commonly run two to three times the summer level. Pricing the calendar well is where the returns are made here.
Beyond county and city rules, many Naples and Marco condos and communities set their own minimum stays — often 30 days — so the governing documents can matter more than the zoning.
Rules & taxes
The local rules that decide what you can run.
This is where most Collier County owners get tripped up. Here is the short version. It is general guidance, not legal advice, and we help you confirm the current details before you list.
Register in unincorporated Collier
Unincorporated Collier County requires registering each unit: a DBPR license, registration with the county tax collector, a one-time county registration certificate (about $50 per unit), a 24/7 contact, and the registration number on all advertising.
Naples, Marco Island & Everglades City
These cities are exempt from the county ordinance and set their own approach. Marco Island’s local program was rolled back under state law after Hurricane Ian, so it now mainly follows state registration.
Watch the condo minimums
Many Marco and Naples condos and communities require 30-day-or-longer stays regardless of zoning. We verify the minimum for your specific building before listing.
Taxes
Owners collect the Collier Tourist Development Tax (5%) plus state sales tax on short stays.
Submarkets
Demand isn’t the same across Collier County.
Naples
Luxury, golf, and beach demand with a strong seasonal swing; community documents often set the minimum stay.
Marco Island
Beach-island demand where many condos require 30-day minimums — verify by address.
Bonita Springs & Estero edge
Growing demand on the county’s northern edge near the Gulf.
Inland Collier
Register with the county; longer, steady stays usually fit best.
Management focus
How we run a Collier County home.
Pricing to the calendar
Rates and minimum stays move with the market’s real demand peaks and slow seasons instead of one flat price all year.
Guest communication
Fast, organized messaging with the arrival, access, and local details guests expect, so questions get answered and reviews stay high.
Turnovers & home care
Cleaning, inspection, and restocking on a consistent system, so the home is genuinely ready every time and small issues get caught early.
Compliance kept clean
Licensing, registration, zoning, and tax collection handled and documented from the start, so a profitable listing doesn’t become a code or tax problem later.

Common questions
What Collier County owners usually ask before handing off management.
Do I need to register a short-term rental in Collier County?
In unincorporated Collier, yes — you register each unit with the county (plus a DBPR license and tax-collector registration) and post the registration number on listings. Naples, Marco Island, and Everglades City are exempt from the county ordinance and set their own rules. (General information, not legal advice.)
Can I rent my Marco Island or Naples condo short-term?
Sometimes — but many condos and communities require 30-day-or-longer stays regardless of zoning. We check your building’s governing documents before you list.
When is peak season in Naples?
Roughly December through April, when nightly rates often run two to three times summer levels. We price aggressively into that window.
Do you work with single-home owners in Collier County?
Yes — single homes as well as owners building a portfolio across Collier County.
