Airbnb is announcing measures aimed at reducing the risk of disruptive, unauthorized parties in Florida rentals as the summer season approaches.

The company continues to draw a hard line on parties and promote responsible travel. Part of the measures for this upcoming travel season is a block on certain 1-night and 2-night reservations over Memorial Day weekend and Fourth of July weekend for entire home listings; both in Florida and across the U.S.

Airbnb used a similar strategy in 2022 and estimated that the number of disruptive parties deterred in Florida by 2,700.

Florida residents are encouraged to contact Airbnb if they spot a party at a home they believe is listed.
