Earn 5% from your Newport Beach Airbnb guests

Why hosts in this zone love Refstay

If you host an Airbnb in or near Newport Beach, your guests are already searching "best activities in Newport Beach" before they land. Refstay turns that search into your income. You share one link — refstay.com/r/your-name — and every time a guest books a jet ski, boat tour, snorkel trip or any of the 200 vetted activities in our Newport Beach catalog, you earn 5% commission, paid monthly. No selling, no inventory, no FareHarbor setup. Just a link you drop in your welcome book.

How the math works

A typical Newport Beach Airbnb hosts 15-25 guest groups per month. If just 3 of them book a $250 activity through your link, that's $37.50/month in pure passive income. Hosts who add the link to their welcome book and send it via WhatsApp at check-in convert 30-50% of guests. The math compounds quickly.

You don't need to choose an operator, negotiate rates, or write descriptions. Refstay handles all of that. Your job is to share one link with your Newport Beach Airbnb guests. We track the booking via FareHarbor's secure attribution, hold your 5% commission, and pay it out monthly via PayPal or Zelle.
