Vacation Rental Properties for Sale in Hurricane, Utah
Hurricane sits in a sweet spot for short-term rental investors: it's 35 minutes from Zion's south entrance, 10 minutes from Sand Hollow Reservoir, and right at the base of Sand Mountain's OHV trail system. That combination — red rock scenery, a warm-water reservoir, and one of the largest legal off-road playgrounds in the Southwest — keeps nightly demand steady from spring break through Thanksgiving, with a secondary bump from snowbirds escaping northern winters. Unlike St. George, where short-term rental zoning is tight and patchy, Hurricane has carved out specific overlay zones and resort communities (Sand Hollow Resort, The Retreat, parts of Sky Mountain, and Stucki Farms) where nightly rentals are explicitly allowed and HOAs are built around that use.
Buyers shopping this segment of the Hurricane market are usually weighing three things: zoning (is nightly use actually legal at this address?), recreation access (how close to the boat ramp, golf course, or trailhead?), and amenities that drive nightly rates — private pools, casitas, oversized RV garages, and bunk rooms that sleep larger family groups. Price points typically run from the mid $500Ks for smaller approved condos and townhomes up past $2M for custom homes on the Sand Hollow golf course with private pools and full toy storage. Property tax treatment, lodging tax registration with Washington County, and HOA rental caps are all worth checking before writing an offer.

Common questions
About vacation rental properties in Hurricane.
Does Hurricane allow short-term vacation rentals? ▾
Yes, but only in specific zones. Hurricane permits nightly rentals in designated overlay areas and resort/commercial zones, while most standard residential neighborhoods do not allow stays under 30 days. Before writing an offer, confirm the property's zoning with Hurricane City and check the HOA's CC&Rs — some communities like Sky Mountain and parts of Sand Hollow Resort are explicitly built for nightly use.
Which Hurricane neighborhoods are known for legal nightly rentals? ▾
Sand Hollow Resort, The Retreat at Sand Hollow, Stucki Farms (specific phases), and pockets near Sky Mountain Golf Course are the most common spots with approved short-term rental status. Sand Hollow in particular draws boaters and ATV riders since the reservoir and Sand Mountain trails are minutes away, which keeps occupancy strong from March through October.
What kind of nightly rates and occupancy can owners expect? ▾
Three- to four-bedroom homes near Sand Hollow typically rent for $300-$600 per night in peak season (spring break, summer weekends, fall UTV season) and dip to $150-$250 in winter. Properties with private pools, casitas, or direct golf course access command higher rates. Most owners we work with see 55-70% annual occupancy when the home is professionally managed.
How does Hurricane compare to St. George for vacation rental investing? ▾
Hurricane has friendlier zoning for nightly rentals than most of St. George, where short-term use is restricted in many residential areas. Entry prices in Hurricane also tend to be lower per square foot, and proximity to Sand Hollow, Quail Creek, Zion (35 minutes), and Sand Mountain OHV is a strong draw that St. George can't match on the recreation side.
Do I need a business license to operate? ▾
Yes. Hurricane requires a short-term rental business license, transient room tax registration with Washington County, and a Utah sales tax account. Expect to budget for annual license renewal, lodging taxes (currently around 12% combined), and inspection requirements. A local property manager usually handles the filings if you don't want to manage compliance yourself.
Are pools and garages worth the extra cost on a rental? ▾
In Hurricane's climate — hot summers and mild shoulder seasons — a private pool is one of the biggest revenue drivers and often pays for itself within a few years on a well-run rental. Oversized garages matter too, since a large share of guests bring side-by-sides, boats, and trailers heading to Sand Hollow or Sand Mountain.
