According to Seena, the Peach House opened five months ago and is on track to make around $180,000 this calendar year. They put in about $60,000 worth of furnishings-a mix of Article, West Elm, and H&M home-into the house, knowing that they are likely to recoup the costs because the prestige of a themed Airbnb can allow them to charge between $100 to $200 more than they would for a regular property. "It's girly but still high-end," adds Kacia, who also uses the property to host retreats for women's empowerment events. The five-bedroom rental sleeps 12 in beds (meaning no bridesmaid is relegated to a cot) and has several photo opp walls, including a green living wall with a neon "Just Peachy" sign, a mirrored wet bar across a peach-themed wallpapered nook with velvet chairs and a "You’re like Really Pretty" neon sign, and a mural with “Life is Short, Make it Sweet” written between two hanging rattan chairs. Inspired by actual peach trees in the back, the decor was more understated, but still carried that fun factor. “We didn't want to go to hard core,” Kacia says. Instead of dousing the entire house in Barbie pink, like the decidedly girly Nashville’s Original Bachelorette House (even the piano is of the bubble gum hue), the Ghetmiris worked with a friend and decorator Sam Dalton to create a more demure Peach House. The husband and wife team were strategic in diving into this niche Airbnb market. “You can charge premium prices for a premium experience,” he says.
This allows the hosts to put more money into decor and aesthetics. Suddenly a $1,200 per night property is a lot more palatable. But when 12 women show up to celebrate a bride, they are dividing the cost and spending individually. As Ghetmiri explains it, when a family rents an Airbnb they are making one purchase for the parents and the kids, it comes out of one bank account. The appeal of catering to this niche demographic is increased cash flow.

Seena and Kacia Ghetmiri, real estate investors and Airbnb Superhosts, jumped on the opportunity when they heard about the trend of investing in short-term rentals geared toward bachelorettes at an Airbnb meetup. Willard feels that, since "there is no such thing as a totally private event anymore" brides (and grooms) prefer to have a more controlled environment like a private home in which to bid farewell to the single life.Īnd investors are starting to take notice of the trend.
"The idea is to create an environment where everyone can have a really good time," says Keith Willard, president of Keith Willard Events in Fort Lauderdale, who was recently called in to organize a lifeguard-themed bachelor party. Staying in a themed Airbnb can set the stage for the whole weekend, in part because the idea of a bachelorette party is moving away from raunchy Magic Mike-like shows to a meaningful bonding experience. The bachelorette party bar has risen and real estate investors are swooping in to meet the demand, and make a profit, by building, designing, and renting out Bachelorette Houses.
Now, maids of honor are looking for a weekend in a pink palace that provides a hub for that unforgettable experience of saluting the bride. Not too long ago, a bachelorette themed party was all about mylar balloons spelling out Bride, diamond ring cutouts, and penis straws.
