About US
Hi, we're Michael and Kari, owners of Grand Welcome Long Beach, a full-service short-term rental property management company.
We're Long Beach locals, and we love this city. We're dedicated to providing homeowners with the same exceptional service and care that we'd want for our own home.
We believe in mixing a personal touch with the latest technologies and data-driven strategies to ensure outstanding property performance. We both have decades of experience in customer relations, marketing, project management, and advertising, so we know exactly how to promote properties and attract high-quality guests.
What We Love About Long Beach
We love the weather (of course) and how close it is to everything. When we're not working, we like to hang out with family at Rosie's Dog Beach, taking in a Dirtbags game at Blair Field, and ordering a "1, 1, and 1" at Joe Jost's.

How much do vacation rental management companies charge in Long Beach?
The typical fee for short term rental property management in Long Beach can range from 10-35% depending on whether the management company offers partial or full-service management.

Are short term vacation rentals allowed in Long Beach?
Short-term vacation rentals are permitted in Long Beach, California, under the city's Short-Term Rentals STR Program, which aims to maintain long-term housing while ensuring neighborhood safety. Operators must register and adhere to rules like occupancy limits and safety requirements. The program differentiates between primary and non-primary residences, allowing owners to register one of each type. Hosted and un-hosted rentals are permitted, but Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are prohibited. Additionally, hosts must collect and report a monthly Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT). The city also enforces these regulations within coastal zones to prevent unregistered operators.
✍️ We take the headache out of managing your own vacation rental by ensuring your property adheres to any existing or new short-term rental regulations, keeping your investment secure and your guests delighted.
Do I need to collect and remit taxes for vacation rentals in Long Beach?
Yes, operators of short-term vacation rentals in Long Beach are required to collect and remit taxes. The city mandates that hosts collect a Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) from their guests and report it monthly via an online platform. This applies to both primary and non-primary residences that are registered under the city's Short-Term Rentals (STR) Program. Ensuring compliance with TOT helps support city infrastructure and is a crucial part of legally operating a short-term rental in Long Beach.
