A “homestay” provides lodging and rooms to guests for less than 30 days, is accessory to a full-time residence, and may offer no more than five guest bedrooms for lodging. Homestays are also known as "short term rentals," "Airbnb," "VRBO," or "transient lodging," and were previously known in Albemarle County Zoning as "Bed and Breakfasts" or "Accessory Tourist Lodging." 

The regulations for Homestays are listed in Section 5.1.48 of the Zoning Ordinance.
