What people say about Hometel

★★★★★

"The Live Oak Treehouse in Savannah was the most magical place we have ever stayed. Spanish moss at dawn, fireflies at dusk. Already booked again for next summer."

★★★★★

"Used the monthly rental for my travel nurse assignment in Baton Rouge. Hometel found me a furnished place in 24 hours — way better than any other platform. Direct contact with the host made everything easy."

★★★★★

"Listed my Natchez property on Hometel for both vacation and long-term. The lease tools are fantastic — I generated a Mississippi-specific lease in 10 minutes. Best landlord platform I've used."

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know

What types of rentals does Hometel offer?

Hometel covers three rental types: Vacation stays (nightly/weekly), Extended & monthly rentals (furnished homes for travel nurses, snowbirds, and corporate travelers), and Long-term pure rentals (6 and 12-month residential leases with full landlord tools).

Does Hometel charge booking fees?

No. Hometel charges zero booking fees. Unlike Airbnb and VRBO which charge 6–15% service fees, what you see is what you pay. Platform access is $78 per 6-month period — covering both traveler and host access.

What states does Hometel cover?

Hometel covers Mississippi, Florida, Louisiana, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and Arkansas — exclusively the American South.

How do I list my Southern property on Hometel?

Visit our Host With Us page, create a host account, and our AI assistant will help write your description and suggest competitive pricing. Approved listings go live the same day with a Verified badge.

How much does Hometel cost?

Hometel charges a flat platform access fee of $78 per 6-month period for both travelers and hosts. This covers full access to all verified Southern properties, direct host messaging, booking management, and for hosts — listing tools, lease templates, and landlord features. Hometel charges zero booking fees on top of that — what you see is what you pay.

Can I list the same property for vacation and long-term rentals?

Yes — this is one of Hometel's key advantages. A Gulf Coast cottage can run as a vacation rental in summer, switch to monthly snowbird rental in fall, and accept a long-term residential tenant in the off-season. You control which listing type is active at any time.
