Vacation Rental Properties for Sale in Ivins, Utah
Ivins sits on the northwest edge of the St. George metro, pressed up against the red sandstone of Snow Canyon State Park, and it's one of the few Southern Utah cities where legal nightly rentals are concentrated in well-defined resort communities rather than scattered through general residential zones. The bulk of vacation rental inventory lives inside Entrada at Snow Canyon, with smaller pockets in The Cliffs and a few other approved developments. That zoning reality matters: a home a mile away in a standard Ivins subdivision usually cannot be rented for under 30 days, so buyers shopping for income property need to confirm both the city's overlay and the HOA's CC&Rs before getting attached to a listing.
The rental demand here is driven by Snow Canyon hiking, Tuacahn Amphitheatre's spring and fall seasons, Red Mountain Resort wellness guests, and overflow from Zion National Park about 45 minutes east. Winters are mild — daytime highs in the 50s and 60s from December through February — which extends the booking calendar well past what you'd see in Park City or Heber. Most qualifying homes carry private pools, casitas, and desert-contemporary architecture, and price points typically run from the high $800Ks into the $2M+ range depending on golf course frontage and view corridors.

Common questions
About vacation rental properties in Ivins.
Does Ivins allow short-term vacation rentals? ▾
Ivins permits nightly rentals only in specific zones — most notably inside resort communities like Entrada at Snow Canyon and a handful of other approved developments. General residential neighborhoods do not allow stays under 30 days, so the zoning of the property matters more than the house itself. Always confirm STR eligibility with the city and the HOA before writing an offer.
Which Ivins communities are known for legal nightly rentals? ▾
Entrada at Snow Canyon is the best-known nightly-rental community in Ivins, with casitas and luxury homes built around a Johnny Miller golf course. Some properties in The Cliffs and pockets near Kayenta also allow short stays, though Kayenta itself is largely owner-occupied. Each subdivision has its own CC&Rs, so two homes on the same street can have different rental rights.
What kind of nightly rates and occupancy can owners expect? ▾
Three- and four-bedroom homes in Entrada typically rent for $400–$800 per night in peak spring and fall, with lower rates in mid-summer when temperatures push past 100°F. Occupancy tends to peak March through May and again October through November, when visitors come for Snow Canyon, Zion, and Tuacahn shows. Most owners use a local property manager and budget 20–30% for management and cleaning.
How does Ivins compare to St. George for vacation rental income? ▾
Ivins generally commands higher nightly rates than central St. George because the inventory skews newer, larger, and closer to Snow Canyon State Park's red rock. The trade-off is a smaller pool of legal STR homes and higher entry prices — most qualifying properties start around $900K and climb past $2M. Buyers chasing pure cash-on-cash returns often look at St. George; buyers wanting a use-it-yourself second home with rental offset gravitate to Ivins.
Are pools and casitas worth the extra cost for rental performance? ▾
Yes — private pools and detached casitas are two of the biggest booking drivers in this market. Winter visitors from Canada and the Pacific Northwest specifically search for heated pools, and casitas let multi-generational groups book a single property instead of two. Expect to pay a meaningful premium for both, but they shorten vacancy and lift average daily rate.
What should I check before closing on an Ivins STR? ▾
Verify the property's nightly rental license is active and transferable, read the HOA's current rental rules (not the version from five years ago), and ask for the last 12–24 months of booking history with gross and net figures. Also check the pool equipment age, HVAC condition, and any pending special assessments in the community.
