Vacation rental bookkeeping for Huntington Beach hosts.
TOT and TBID tracking, platform payout reconciliation, and per-property P&L — built for how HB short-term rentals actually work.
A Huntington Beach short-term rental isn't a long-term rental with a higher nightly rate — it's a different bookkeeping problem. Transient occupancy tax, quarterly filings, and platform payouts that don't reconcile cleanly on their own.
What makes HB vacation rentals different
Huntington Beach charges 10% Transient Occupancy Tax plus a 6% Tourism Business Improvement District assessment on stays of 30 days or less — 16% total, filed quarterly through the city's MuniRevs system. Neither Airbnb nor Vrbo collects or remits it on your behalf in Huntington Beach, so it's on you as the host to track, collect from guests, and file — with records kept for three years. (Rates and rules are set by the city and can change; this reflects current published requirements.)
What I track for you
- TOT and TBID collected per booking, ready for your quarterly MuniRevs filing
- Platform payouts (Airbnb, Vrbo, direct) reconciled against what actually hit your bank
- Cleaning fees, host payouts, and platform commissions separated, not lumped together
- CapEx separated from repairs for your CPA at tax time
- A monthly cash flow and P&L for the property, not a guess from your bank balance
