Does your vacation rental property page have everything your guests are looking for? Following these tips will ensure that you make the most of out what your property has to offer.

1. Pictures

2.The Description
Describing all amenities, features and surrounding areas and attractions makes a big difference! Renters like knowing exactly what they are paying for and often amenities and nearby attractions can be a huge selling point for guests.

3. Pricing
Showing all weekly, nightly and weekend rates as well as seasonal prices and last minute deals lets renters know immediately if the property is right for them and within their budget. You can also include a calculated price feature so renters can see the total of their stay. This saves both parties lets of time and back and forth.
4.Maps
Having your properly displayed on a map gives owners a better idea of where your property is located in relation to the area so there won’t be any misunderstandings or surprises when guests arrive.

5.Calendar
Displaying a calendar with your property shows availability and booking dates so renters can see what works for them. Place your calendar either before or after your pricing so guests don’t have to flip back and forth to compare different prices and dates.
