The Dubrovnik market
Dubrovnik's walled old town and Adriatic coastline draw huge summer crowds, making it Croatia's most iconic short-term-rental city after Split. Hosts here pay OTA commissions on a highly seasonal market. A direct-booking website helps Dubrovnik hosts capture the peak season at full rates and build repeat business.
Short-term-rental rules
Croatia requires short-term-rental hosts to register with the tourism board and comply with municipal rules. Registration is required, so always verify the current local requirements before listing.
