10 Best Scottsdale Airbnb Management Companies

Scottsdale STR Market Overview

Scottsdale is one of the most balanced year-round STR markets in the country. The market doesn't collapse in summer — pool demand and weekend getaway traffic sustain occupancy even in the hottest months. Peak seasons are fall through spring (October–May), particularly during MLB spring training (March), major golf tournaments, and the Barrett-Jackson auto auction.

Average daily rate: $200–$350 for standard homes; $400–$800+ for luxury pool homes and casitas in North Scottsdale. Annual gross revenue for a well-managed 3-bedroom Scottsdale pool home: $70,000–$120,000.

Scottsdale STR regulations: Arizona law limits local government restrictions on short-term rentals. Scottsdale requires local STR registration and has occupancy limits and noise ordinances, but cannot ban STRs outright under state law. This makes the market relatively accessible for investors. See our Arizona Airbnb management companies guide.

Best for: Any Scottsdale vacation rental owner who wants genuinely passive income, competitive fees, and no long-term commitment. Awning is the default right answer for the majority of properties in this market.

‍

2. RedAwning — Best Half-Service Option

RedAwning is Awning's parent company and operates a technology-driven distribution platform across 50+ booking channels. As a standalone option, RedAwning offers half-service management — listing distribution and channel management without the full local service stack. See our RedAwning property management review for details.

Best for: Scottsdale owners who already have local cleaning and maintenance teams and want enterprise-level distribution technology without paying for services they don't need.

‍

3. AvantStay — Best for Luxury Scottsdale Properties

AvantStay manages luxury pool homes and casitas in premium Scottsdale neighborhoods. Their group travel positioning delivers strong rate premiums for qualifying 5+ bedroom properties. See our AvantStay review.

‍

4. Casago — Best Established Local Franchise

Casago — now also Vacasa's parent company following its December 2024 acquisition — has operated as a franchise-based STR manager in Scottsdale for years. Casago's home market means their Scottsdale franchise is among their most established, with deep local vendor relationships and an experienced local team. Fees run 20–25%.

Best for: Scottsdale owners who want a locally-established full-service option and are comfortable with the franchise model.

‍

5–9. Additional Scottsdale Local Options

GoodNight Stay, iTrip Vacations Scottsdale, Meridian CondoResorts, REBL Rentals, and Padzu Vacation Homes are all locally-operated managers covering different Scottsdale market segments. Meridian CondoResorts specializes in luxury condos in golf resort communities. REBL Rentals is known for working with properties needing renovation or repositioning. Compare all options using the framework in our guide to finding the right Airbnb manager.

‍

10. Evolve — Best for Hands-On Scottsdale Owners

Evolve is a nationwide STR marketing platform, not a full-service manager. At 10%, they handle listing creation, dynamic pricing, and guest communication — but not cleaning, maintenance, or local operations. If you live near your Scottsdale property and have vendor relationships in place, Evolve's low cost makes sense. If you want hands-off management, it doesn't. See our full Evolve property management review.

Best for: Scottsdale owners who are actively involved in day-to-day operations and want the lowest-cost marketing and booking layer available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Scottsdale a good year-round Airbnb market?

Yes — Scottsdale is one of the strongest year-round STR markets in the U.S. Peak season runs October–May, but pool demand, weekend getaways, and corporate travel sustain occupancy through the summer. The market doesn't experience the extreme seasonality of northern ski or beach markets.

What are Scottsdale STR regulations?

Arizona state law limits local governments from banning short-term rentals. Scottsdale requires annual STR registration, enforces occupancy limits and noise ordinances, and requires Good Neighbor policies for properties in residential neighborhoods. Registration is straightforward compared to many coastal markets.
