5 Key Tips on How to Make Your Vacation Rental Stand Out

October 09, 2019 by Jeremy Lindy in Travel

No vacation rental is perfect, but some sure do come close. Whether it’s the entire layout of the property or the small details in the interior design, there are various ways to draw in customers and make them love your property. With so many vacation rentals to choose from, it can be hard to get your property noticed. If you wonder how to make your vacation rental stand out, read on for some important tips and tricks.

Use Solid Photos

Before people even think about booking your property, they’ll look at the different photos you have listed. If you don’t provide many photos, or the photos are low in quality, then people will move on to a different property. Pictures are the most important selling tools for your vacation rental, and without those photos, your listing won’t do as well as it could. Make sure you update the photos as seasons change—it will give your guests a better feel for what their stay will be like.

Get the Top Amenities

One of the most important tips we can give on how to make your vacation rental stand out comes from the different amenities you offer. If you want to stand out, then you need to offer the top amenities you’d find at a luxury home. TVs are a must, but that’s more of a necessity. Think about adding fireplaces, porches, pools, and hot tubs—you want to add things that others may view as a luxury. These additions will help encourage people’s interest in your property.

Improve Outdoor Living

Many people go on vacation to feel more relaxed and to reconnect with themselves and nature. You can help them accomplish that by having a nice outdoor space for them to enjoy. When you seamlessly integrate indoor and outdoor living spaces, more people will feel the urge to book your property. Access to the outdoors plays a massive role in booking rates, so you need to make sure you offer a place outdoors that’s just as enchanting as the space you have indoors.

Pay Attention to Interior Design

If you’re not an interior design expert, don’t try to be. If you can afford it, turn to interior design experts for help in that area. Eye-catching interior design can benefit your home’s ability to acquire bookings, so it’s a good investment to make. Pay attention to the small details—your guests will, so you need to as well.

Personalize Each Trip

Finally, one of the biggest ways to make your properties stand out from the rest comes into play with how much you personalize each trip for your guests. If you want to get a good equity residences review, then you need to create an unforgettable experience. A great property does more than just act as lodging; it also enhances the overall trip. Leave bottles of champagne for bachelorette parties, or provide a couple dog toys for guests coming with a pet. Take in the information that guests provide, and give them something special.
