Vacation Rental Properties for Sale in Beryl, Utah
Beryl is a small high-desert community in western Iron County, sitting around 5,100 feet on the Escalante Valley floor about 35 miles northwest of Cedar City. The vacation rental market here is a different animal than what you'd run in Moab or St. George — guests come for quiet, dark skies, hunting access, and proximity to Pine Valley Mountain and the back roads into the Mojave. Properties tend to be on acreage with well and septic rather than municipal utilities, and most successful short-term rentals lean into the off-grid, wide-open-country pitch rather than trying to compete on amenities. Summer highs run in the upper 80s to mid 90s, winters drop below freezing with occasional snow, and the air is genuinely dark enough at night to see the Milky Way without effort.
Buyers looking at Beryl for rental use are usually weighing a few things: low entry pricing compared to Washington County, Iron County's more permissive stance on short-term rentals versus incorporated cities, and the realistic occupancy ceiling given that this isn't a tourist hub. The properties that pencil out best are typically homes or cabins with a few acres, a shop or barn for ATVs and gear, and enough separation from neighbors to market the "middle of nowhere" experience honestly. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market, and reach out if you want help running rental comps against nearby Cedar City and Enterprise.

Common questions
About vacation rental properties in Beryl.
Does Beryl allow short-term vacation rentals? ▾
Beryl is unincorporated Iron County, so short-term rental rules fall under county code rather than a city ordinance. Iron County is generally more permissive than incorporated cities like Cedar City or Parowan, but rules can change and HOAs (rare out here) or specific subdivisions may have their own restrictions. Verify the current status with Iron County before closing if STR income is part of your plan.
What kind of vacation traffic does Beryl actually get? ▾
Beryl sits at the intersection of SR-56 and SR-18, which is a feeder route to Pine Valley, Enterprise, and the back way into the St. George area. Bookings here tend to come from hunters during deer and elk seasons, ATV and dirt bike riders using the surrounding BLM land, stargazers, and travelers wanting a quiet base between Cedar City (40 min) and the Mojave. Don't expect Park City-style nightly rates.
What price range do rentable properties in Beryl fall into? ▾
Most homes and cabins in Beryl Junction and the surrounding acreage parcels trade well under typical Wasatch Front pricing, often in the $200K-$450K range depending on land, well, and outbuildings. Larger ranch properties with multiple structures or guest cabins push higher. The low entry price is part of what makes the rental math work even with modest nightly rates.
Is internet good enough to support remote-work guests? ▾
Connectivity has improved with fixed wireless providers and Starlink, which most rental operators in west Iron County now rely on. Verify what's installed at the specific property — cable and fiber are not standard out here, and guests increasingly filter for reliable Wi-Fi when booking high-desert stays.
What should I check about water and septic before buying a rental here? ▾
Almost every property in Beryl is on a private well and septic system rather than municipal utilities. For a vacation rental, well output (gallons per minute) and septic capacity matter a lot because guest usage spikes hard on weekends. Get the well log, recent water test, and a septic inspection during your due diligence.
How does Beryl compare to Cedar City or Kanarraville for STR returns? ▾
Cedar City pulls steadier year-round demand thanks to SUU, the Shakespeare Festival, and Brian Head skiers, and nightly rates reflect that. Beryl trades volume for lower acquisition cost, more land, and a guest base looking specifically for isolation and dark skies. If you want occupancy, look closer to Cedar; if you want a low-overhead desert property with niche appeal, Beryl fits.
