STR Select ranks Open Air Homes #2 of 4 ranked short term rental managers in Joshua Tree (10 evaluated), with facts checked October 2026.
Full service short term rental management · California
Best for: Owners who want a flat commission, a stated monthly fee and no multi-year contract.
Open Air Homes prints the most complete price on its Joshua Tree page: a flat 20% commission on the accommodation fare plus a $125 monthly platform fee, with no setup fees and no binding multi-year contracts. The page describes permitted short term rental management in San Bernardino County, with compliance, pricing and guest experience covered. The 44.2% occupancy figure on its site is for Greater Palm Springs in 2025, not Joshua Tree, so we do not count it as local depth. It does not publish a Joshua Tree portfolio count.
