When it started, I understood Air BnB was mostly rooms for rent in an owner's home, so was not really interested. When I look at the SXM listings now, there are some rooms but there are also complete homes and apartments, very similar to VRBO. There's even a Divi Little Bay for rent, so I'm assuming that's someone's timeshare week. We have used VRBO for SXM and lots of other places. I think many tourist destinations are becoming concerned because of the impact of vacation rentals on the availability and price of long term rentals for regular residents as well as the issue of unlicensed rentals.
