Austin Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Management
Austin Airbnb management means turning your property into a revenue-generating short-term rental without the work — listing optimization, dynamic pricing, guest screening, cleaning, maintenance, and full compliance with City of Austin STR licensing rules. Sundeck Property Group offers boutique, owner-first STR management for Austin homeowners and investors who want the upside of short-term rentals without the operational load.
What does Austin STR management include?
Listing creation and optimization across Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com. Dynamic nightly pricing tuned to Austin's event calendar — SXSW, ACL, F1, UT football weekends, the legislative session, and convention center bookings. 24/7 guest communication. Cleaning and linen turnover with vetted Austin partners. Maintenance dispatch. Monthly owner statements and direct deposits.
Do I need a permit to run an Airbnb in Austin?
Yes. Austin requires a Short-Term Rental license through the City of Austin Development Services Department. Sundeck handles licensing applications, renewals, and compliance documentation as part of onboarding.
How much can an Austin Airbnb earn?
A well-run two-bedroom in East Austin can clear $50K-$80K gross annually. A larger lake-view property can clear well into six figures. We provide a specific projected revenue range during the free profit analysis.

Which Austin neighborhoods does Sundeck manage in?
We manage properties across Central and East Austin, South Congress, Travis Heights, Bouldin Creek, Zilker, Mueller, Hyde Park, and the lake-adjacent neighborhoods around Lake Austin and Lake Travis. Each submarket has different guest profiles and pricing rhythms — downtown skews toward business travel and event weekends, East Austin skews toward longer leisure stays, and the lake markets skew toward family and group bookings.
How is Sundeck different from the big Austin STR companies?
Most national operators run on volume. They standardize everything, which means your property gets the same treatment as 800 others on their platform. We cap our portfolio so every Austin owner gets real attention — direct access to the team, custom pricing strategy, and a hospitality experience guests actually rebook.
We’re also based in Texas. We know which Austin cleaners show up on time during SXSW and which HVAC techs answer the phone in August.
What does it cost to have Sundeck manage my Austin property?
Performance-based — we earn when you earn. The free profit analysis includes a specific fee structure tied to your property’s projected revenue. No setup fees, no long-term lock-in.
