The Palm Springs Airbnb boom isn’t what it used to be — and 2025 is shaping up to be a wake-up call for short-term rental owners.
Despite Coachella packing out the desert with influencers, festival-goers, and music lovers, many Airbnb hosts are finding their investment isn’t paying off.

🧼 High maintenance & cleaning fees
-
📉 Declining profitability even during festival weekends
-
🛑 Strict local regulations limiting rental days
-
🧾 Increased competition from oversaturation
