Market Score Breakdown
Five dimensions StaySTRA evaluates per market.
Market Overview
Garibaldi is a small fishing village of 823 residents on Tillamook Bay along the northern Oregon Coast, roughly 75 miles west of Portland. The town positions itself as Oregon’s authentic fishing village and draws Pacific Northwest road-trippers, anglers, and outdoor recreation visitors for ocean charter fishing, crabbing, kayaking, and steam-train rides on the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad.
In April 2026, the tracked STR market showed approximately 4,399 active listings with an average daily rate of $282 and occupancy of 52.0%. Revenue per available rental (RevPAR) was $147 in April. Year-over-year, occupancy rose 6.76 percentage points, ADR grew 7.15%, and average revenue increased 1.28%.
By listing type, entire-place rentals dominate at 4,337 units (98.6% of total), with private rooms at 63 (1.4%) and shared rooms at just 2. The almost-exclusive entire-place character reflects the vacation-home and cabin nature of coastal Oregon demand. By bedroom count, 3-bedroom units lead at 1,332, followed by 2-bedroom (1,259), 1-bedroom (825), 4-bedroom (682), and 5-bedroom (301).
Channel distribution shows 3,023 listings on both Airbnb and VRBO (the majority), 985 Airbnb-only, and 394 VRBO-only. The cross-platform dominance is typical of coastal Oregon vacation rental markets where VRBO holds a stronger consumer share than in urban markets.
The market’s rental demand score of 95.1 out of 100 is exceptionally high, reflecting consistent visitor pull from the coast. The overall market score of 62.7 is moderated by seasonality (45.7) and revenue growth (49.7) scores.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals are legal in Garibaldi but subject to meaningful geographic zoning restrictions. Under the city’s R1 residential zoning code, vacation rental dwellings are allowed outright only if the property was established as a vacation rental prior to February 11, 2008 and is located south of Garibaldi Avenue (U.S. Highway 101) or is accessed privately from that highway. Properties that do not meet these criteria require a Conditional Use Permit, and even with a CUP, rentals are still limited to areas south of U.S. 101 or those with private access from it. In practice, properties north of Highway 101 face significant barriers to legal STR operation.
Operators must also register for and remit lodging taxes. The combined lodging tax rate is approximately 11.5%, though the precise breakdown involves Oregon’s state lodging tax (which may have changed with HB 2977, effective January 1, 2026), Tillamook County’s transient lodging tax within incorporated cities, and the City of Garibaldi’s own transient room tax. Operators should confirm current rates directly with the Oregon Department of Revenue and the city.
No permit cost figure was published for Garibaldi. Any structural or land-use change requires a Garibaldi Land Use Permit Application before a building permit can be issued. Investors should verify a specific parcel’s eligibility ([email protected]) before purchasing. Garibaldi’s zoning code was amended by Ordinance 304 to address vacation rental and downtown zoning. Enforcement is classified as moderate.
Market Comparison
Garibaldi’s 52.0% occupancy in April 2026 sits close to the national STR median of approximately 55%, though this is a shoulder month; August peaks at 81.0%. The $282 April ADR exceeds the national median of approximately $220, reflecting the Oregon coastal vacation-home premium.
The market’s rental demand score of 95.1 out of 100 is one of the highest in the Pacific Northwest coastal category. The overall score of 62.7 reflects seasonality (45.7) as the primary drag.
