Hattiesburg, Mississippi is an attractive city for Airbnb hosts due to its historic neighborhoods, proximity to nature trails and parks, and lively arts and culture scene. Visitors stay at Airbnb's here for the unique experience of staying in a local home while exploring the city's charm.
Hattiesburg experiences moderate seasonal fluctuations driven primarily by University of Southern Mississippi's academic calendar and regional business travel. Peak demand aligns with university events, graduation ceremonies, and football season (August-November), when visiting families and alumni drive occupancy rates higher. Spring months see steady demand from prospective students and their families, while summer months attract conference attendees and leisure travelers exploring the Pine Belt region. Winter months typically see reduced demand but maintain baseline occupancy from business travelers and medical tourism related to local healthcare facilities. The market benefits from being a regional hub, creating more consistent year-round demand than purely tourist-driven destinations.
Requires a first-time STR application ($250) plus annual renewal ($170), which includes fire inspection and tax license; property manager requirement also introduced.
Managing an Airbnb in Hattiesburg can be challenging due to the need to stay compliant with local regulations, maintain the property, and provide guests with excellent hospitality.
