Welcome to ECHO! 🌴 Start here
Hey hosts! ECHO is officially open, and we're so glad you're here. We started this group for one reason: Florida's East Coast hosts deserve a place to swap what's working, fix what isn't, and grow together. No sales pitches, no fluff. Just hosts helping hosts. Here's what you can expect: - A live call every month, with every call recorded for anyone who can't make it - Support anytime you're stuck - Industry news as it breaks - First access to deals, events and our partner network Your first step: introduce yourself! 👇 Drop a comment below and tell us: 1. Your name and where you host (city or area) 2. A link to your property. Airbnb, VRBO or direct booking site all work. 3. Why you joined. What are you hoping to get out of ECHO? 4. One question you have right now. It can be about anything: pricing, cleaners, reviews, regulations or your next purchase. Then say hi to at least one other host in the comments. That's how this community gets good. Our first live call is coming soon. Watch the calendar and we'll see you there! — Nikkei and the ECHO team

Airbnb Updates
Airbnb is rolling out a major global policy update taking effect on November 20, 2026, governed by two newly published community policies (Article 4168 for house rules and Article 4169 for contracts and guest data). Key Policy Changes (Effective November 20, 2026) - Checkout Chores Ban: Hosts generally can no longer require guests to complete substantial cleaning tasks like washing and putting away dishes, stripping beds, starting laundry, or taking trash off-site. Guests can still be asked to place used dishes in the sink, gather towels, or sort rubbish into indoor bins. - House Rules Redesign: Hosts can now choose from 7 standard house rules and add reasonable requests, all managed directly in the listing editor. Checkout instructions no longer live in a separate tab. - No Surprise Rules: All rules and requests must be visible on the listing before booking; hosts cannot add new rules or change expectations post-booking via message, in-person, or signages. - Restriction on Offline Contracts: Separate offline rental agreements are banned unless required by law or HOA rules, needed for an optional amenity (like a boat or golf cart), for stays of 28 nights or more, or for Airbnb Luxe listings. - Data & ID Limits: Pre-arrival ID uploads, selfies, background checks, required app/website sign-ups to enter, or requests for guest email/phone/home address are prohibited unless mandated by local law or HOA rules. - Cutoff Date Rule: The new policies apply to reservations booked on or after November 20, 2026. Bookings made prior to November 20 remain under the old policy, even if the actual stay takes place months later.
