About
Imagine a short-term rental platform where accessibility isn’t an afterthought—it’s the priority. Becoming rentABLE helps families and loved ones with disabilities find certified accessible-short-term rentals. Our Accessible Retreat unit is changing the game in accessible travel by prioritizing accessibility in the design so it will meet more needs for more people.
Mission
The short-term rental (STR) industry faces two critical issues: a severe shortage of accessible properties and inconsistent accessibility standards. Among the 1.5 million STR listings in the US, less than 0.1% are genuinely accessible, leaving millions of potential travelers underserved.
Empower
Growth
The economic impact is substantial. The disability travel market contributes $58.7 billion annually in the US, yet the STR industry is missing out on this revenue by failing to provide adequate accessible accommodations. The shortage of accessible STRs and the lack of consistent standards create substantial barriers to travel for millions, leaving significant economic potential untapped.
Vision
First-Mover Advantage: As the first unit with a mobility certification, the Accessible Retreat will give your business a competitive edge. Building the largest inventory of certified accessible properties cements your leadership position in a rapidly growing market.
Putting it All Together
The Accessible Retreat unit will help reach travelers with disabilities and senior citizens. Our renters are families needing rentals with specific accessibility features like mobility, hearing, vision, or aging-related accommodations. They often feel frustrated with booking sites that lack detailed, reliable options.
