SkyRun Vacation Rentals Franchise Cost, Revenue and Closure Rate (2026 FDD)

SkyRun Vacation Rentals is one of the franchises we compare in our short-term rental turnover and co-hosting guide. Here is what it costs to open, what it charges every month, what its franchisees report taking in, and how many outlets closed in a year.

Where these numbers come from

The figures come from SkyRun Vacation Rentals's 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), the document every franchisor must give buyers before they sign. Revenue figures are sales as the brand reports them, before royalties and costs. They are not profit, and not a promise of what you would earn.

Item 19 reports 2025 gross revenue and properties managed for franchised businesses open all year, split into 9 New Businesses (12–24 months old) and 24 Experienced Businesses. SkyRun's gross revenue includes guest rental revenue, so it is far larger than what the franchisee keeps.

Median gross revenue, 2025, 9 New Businesses open 12–24 months (includes guest rental revenue; not profit)$180,815 a year
