Short-Term Rental Media Packages

Media That Books Your Airbnb & Vacation Rental

Your short-term rental deserves more than standard listing photos — it needs a story that grabs attention and inspires guests to book. At Inhabit Media, we design STR media using the Inhabit Method™, proven to boost bookings by up to 40%. From Hero Shots that stop the scroll to lifestyle images that sell the experience, we make sure your Airbnb or vacation rental stands out in every season.

Short-Term Rental Photography — FAQs

How much does short-term rental photography cost?

Our short-term rental packages start at $350 for the Base package and $695 for the Pillar package. You can also add à la carte photography, video, drone, and enhancements to build exactly what your listing needs.

What's included in an STR photography package?

The Base STR package ($350) includes 25–30 professionally edited photos, virtual twilight and sky replacements, fireplace enhancements, and a full media kit. The Pillar package ($695) adds drone aerials, lifestyle and editorial images, twilight edits, and a 60–90 second cinematic highlight reel.

How fast will I get my photos?

Standard turnaround is 24–48 hours for most STR photography packages. Video and larger productions may take a bit longer, and we confirm your delivery timeline when you book.

Do professional photos really increase bookings?

Yes. Airbnb's own data shows listings with professional photos can earn up to 40% more, and properties with strong visuals get significantly more views. Great media is one of the highest-ROI investments a short-term rental host can make.
