Search for “short-term rental requirements” plus the names of your localities (typically city and county, but multiple states have city and township requirements or other combinations). Many of them publish a dedicated short-term rental page on their official website.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you can’t find clear information online, call the planning, zoning, or business licensing office directly. A 15-minute call almost always saves hours of guesswork.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlso: check your HOA bylaws if applicable.

In May, for example, demand growth \u003ca href=\"https://www.airdna.co/blog/us-review-may-2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"\u003ehit a 2024 high\u003c/a\u003e at 11.4% — which also reflected a \u003ca href=\"https://evolve.com/owner/summer-industry-trends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"\u003eyear-over-year increase\u003c/a\u003e. Occupancy for the July 4th holiday also surpassed 2023 numbers, and Labor Day bookings are coming in \u003cem\u003eearlier\u003c/em\u003e than they did last year, pointing to strong momentum in the market.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eCombining these with economic considerations, demand is likely to stay strong for the remainder of summer. While inflation rates \u003ca href=\"https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-inflation-rates/#:~:text=The%20annual%20inflation%20rate%20for,Department%20data%20published%20Feb.%2014.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"\u003econtinue to drop\u003c/a\u003e, vacation expenses like food and airfare can still stretch budgets, so experts predict rentals will continue to climb as a top accommodation choice due to the convenience and cost-savings they tend to offer.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the same time, mortgage rates \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/advisor/mortgages/mortgage-rates/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"\u003eremain high\u003c/a\u003e and new vacation rental regulations are popping up in jurisdictions across the country — which can make investing in this space more difficult. As a result, supply growth is slowing (particularly in non-coastal markets like the Midwest, Rocky Mountain, and desert regions). But it hasn’t slowed enough to reach a tipping point, meaning available inventory still outweighs overall demand and owners should expect competition for bookings to stay tight this summer.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading h3padnone\" id=\"advance\"\u003e2. \u003cstrong\u003eTravelers Are Booking Farther in Advance\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h2\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis year, our experts have seen traveler behavior begin to shift more firmly toward pre-pandemic trends. Families are planning around in-person schooling, and more workers are headed back to the office in hybrid or full-time capacities. Paired with the economic strain still felt by many, there’s a need to plan and budget.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat motivates many travelers to book dates for their main vacations ahead of schedule — locking in reservations more than 30 or 60 days before their trip begins. This June, for instance, bookings for future check-in dates were made 20% farther in advance year over year. And our experts are seeing the trend continue, with occupancy for August currently up 8% as compared to the same time last year.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading h3padnone\" id=\"occupancy\"\u003e3. \u003cstrong\u003eCompetitive Daily Rates Are Helping Drive More Occupancy\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h2\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith tight competition for summer bookings due to the continued imbalance between supply and demand — and longer booking windows — we’re seeing average daily rates stay fairly level.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt Evolve, keeping rates reasonable (and often \u003cem\u003ejust\u003c/em\u003e below similar properties in a market) is part of a \u003ca href=\"https://evolve.com/owner/revenue-optimization\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"\u003eproactive strategy\u003c/a\u003e designed to drive occupancy and increase overall revenue.

As we look forward, rates are expected to remain in the same range, and are only anticipated to drop at the tail-end of August when most areas close out their peak season.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading h3padnone\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSummer Vacation Rental Industry Trends Are Resetting Performance\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h2\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs we move through the next couple of months — and beyond — performance expectations differ as industry trends change.

Many operate on a commission or booking fee structure, meaning they take a percentage of both your booking revenue and any additional services fees charged to guests (like for cleaning, pets, and pool heating). These management fees are usually collected monthly, and the total you pay depends on your earnings for that month. So, you only pay when guests stay –– and you put more in your wallet during busy seasons.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eSome traditional property managers still use a fixed-rate model, however, where you pay the same amount every month. Others use a guaranteed income model, where you make the same revenue every month regardless of bookings — and you pay a fixed fee, too.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese fee structures aren’t ideal: fixed rates force you to pay the same money in shoulder seasons, even when earnings may be lower. And while a guaranteed income model can offer stable revenue month after month, it also means you may not pocket all of the earnings you deserve during busy seasons. \u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor example, let’s say you’ve agreed on a guaranteed income of $3,000 a month from your property manager.

These methods are typically encrypted and equipped with fraud monitoring.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen \u003ca aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https://evolve.com/vacation-rentals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ebooking through Evolve\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/a\u003e, you can also rest easy knowing your payment does not get released to the owner until 48 hours after your check-in.

Read Recent Property Reviews \u003c/h3\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn well-known vacation rental marketplaces, you must have first been a guest to leave a review. (Guests can have anywhere from 14 days to several months following check-out to leave a review.) For this reason, it\u0026#8217;s smart to sift through the reviews section of a listing and look for feedback on both the property itself and the host.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eProceed with curiosity — but not necessarily caution — if a listing has no reviews. The vacation rental industry is growing quickly, so\u0026nbsp;it’s not uncommon for a new listing to have just entered the market. When this is the case, there should be indicators in the listing\u0026#8217;s headline or description. All Evolve listings, for example, use the phrase \u0026#8220;New!\u0026#8221; in the headline for the first six months of their launch (or until the property has received five or more reviews). \u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading h3padnone\" id=\"know\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvoid Vacation Rental Scams \u003c/strong\u003ewith Evolve\u003c/h2\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\"\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"\u003e\u003cimg width=\"600\" height=\"380\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/evolve-vacation-rental-network/images/w_600,h_380/f_auto,q_auto/v1643300946/evolvevacationrental.com/VRscams-Blog_In-Post-Image-04/VRscams-Blog_In-Post-Image-04.jpg?_i=AA\" alt=\"Evolve brand logo with five-stars, representing safety in booking vacation rental homes with Evolve\" class=\"wp-post-3463 wp-image-25464\" data-public-id=\"evolvevacationrental.com/VRscams-Blog_In-Post-Image-04.jpg\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1643300946\" srcset=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/evolve-vacation-rental-network/images/f_auto,q_auto/v1643300946/evolvevacationrental.com/VRscams-Blog_In-Post-Image-04/VRscams-Blog_In-Post-Image-04.jpg?_i=AA 600w, https://res.cloudinary.com/evolve-vacation-rental-network/images/w_300,h_190/f_auto,q_auto/v1643300946/evolvevacationrental.com/VRscams-Blog_In-Post-Image-04/VRscams-Blog_In-Post-Image-04.jpg?_i=AA 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" /\u003e\u003c/figure\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe best way to steer clear of fraudulent vacation rentals \u003cstrong\u003eand\u003c/strong\u003e get the best nightly rates is to \u003ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https://evolve.com/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ebook directly on evolve.com\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/a\u003e.

It’s important to remember that once an owner\u0026#8217;s response goes live on Airbnb, \u003cstrong\u003eit cannot be edited\u003c/strong\u003e. (Note that other sites do allow edits.)\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a guest review lands on Airbnb (or Vrbo), owners have \u003ca href=\"https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/13/how-do-reviews-work-for-stays\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"\u003e14 days to respond\u003c/a\u003e (other listing sites have a bit more leniency).

The salty air at a \u003ca href=\"https://evolve.com/blog/homeowner-tips/is-a-beach-house-a-good-investment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"\u003ebeachfront property\u003c/a\u003e, for example, may interfere with keypad technology, while extreme cold at a \u003ca href=\"https://evolve.com/blog/homeowner-tips/ski-towns-worth-rental-property-investment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"\u003eski rental\u003c/a\u003e can freeze code punch buttons or cause touchscreens to glitch. And if your vacation rental is located in a remote area with spottier connection, Bluetooth-powered models may struggle to work. Before making any shopping selections, check in with the vendor to raise any location-based concerns. \u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Balance Quality with Expense \u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h3\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere are some very fancy security systems that can cost thousands of dollars, but that high price tag doesn’t necessarily equate to an increase in security. While it’s important to do ample research to understand the ins and outs of every option, a more modest investment can be just as effective in securing your vacation rental and guest satisfaction — rather than making a huge dent in your annual profits.  \u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Find Local Vendors Who Can Service Your Lock\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h3\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eA lot of owners purchase a keyless lock from national companies online, but don’t actually have technicians in the area who could service it if something goes wrong. Make sure local locksmiths have the ability to fix the smart lock you choose in the event that it breaks or glitches. Otherwise, you could be looking at a much more costly — or delayed — solution. \u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Have a Backup Plan in Place\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h3\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere are big benefits to keyless entry systems, but they aren’t foolproof. There’s always a chance of technological difficulties upon guest arrival, which is why it’s best to have a lock box as a backup. Let guests know about the backup plan prior to their arrival to prevent any last-minute messages or frustrated late-night phone calls.  \u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-background is-style-solid-color\"\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen you \u003ca href=\"https://evolve.com/owner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epartner with Evolve\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/a\u003e, we have customer support teams available 24/7 to provide backup codes as needed.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/blockquote\u003e\u003c/figure\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5.

Days off can be spent on the course, dipping in the lake, or curling up next to a roaring fire while keeping the view.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-button btn-secondary\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https://evolve.com/vacation-rentals/439869\" style=\"border-radius:6px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"\u003eBook This Home\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\"\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"alignright size-large\"\u003e\u003cimg width=\"700\" height=\"466\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/evolve-vacation-rental-network/images/w_700,h_466/f_auto,q_auto/v1599587337/evolvevacationrental.com/LAKEVIEW-RETREAT-IN-ALBION-MI/LAKEVIEW-RETREAT-IN-ALBION-MI.jpg?_i=AA\" alt=\"Deck overlooking a private dock and lake at an Albion, Michigan vacation rental\" class=\"wp-post-18855 wp-image-18881\" data-public-id=\"evolvevacationrental.com/LAKEVIEW-RETREAT-IN-ALBION-MI.jpg\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1599587337\" srcset=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/evolve-vacation-rental-network/images/f_auto,q_auto/v1599587337/evolvevacationrental.com/LAKEVIEW-RETREAT-IN-ALBION-MI/LAKEVIEW-RETREAT-IN-ALBION-MI.jpg?_i=AA 700w, https://res.cloudinary.com/evolve-vacation-rental-network/images/w_300,h_200/f_auto,q_auto/v1599587337/evolvevacationrental.com/LAKEVIEW-RETREAT-IN-ALBION-MI/LAKEVIEW-RETREAT-IN-ALBION-MI.jpg?_i=AA 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" /\u003e\u003c/figure\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-62\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\"\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"\u003e\u003cimg width=\"400\" height=\"266\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/evolve-vacation-rental-network/images/w_400,h_266/f_auto,q_auto/v1599587352/evolvevacationrental.com/BEACHFRONT-HOME-IN-TOPSAIL-BEACH-NC/BEACHFRONT-HOME-IN-TOPSAIL-BEACH-NC.jpg?_i=AA\" alt=\"Deck overlooking the ocean from beachfront vacation rental in Topsail Beach, North Carolina\" class=\"wp-post-18855 wp-image-18882\" data-public-id=\"evolvevacationrental.com/BEACHFRONT-HOME-IN-TOPSAIL-BEACH-NC.jpg\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1599587352\" srcset=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/evolve-vacation-rental-network/images/f_auto,q_auto/v1599587352/evolvevacationrental.com/BEACHFRONT-HOME-IN-TOPSAIL-BEACH-NC/BEACHFRONT-HOME-IN-TOPSAIL-BEACH-NC.jpg?_i=AA 700w, https://res.cloudinary.com/evolve-vacation-rental-network/images/w_300,h_200/f_auto,q_auto/v1599587352/evolvevacationrental.com/BEACHFRONT-HOME-IN-TOPSAIL-BEACH-NC/BEACHFRONT-HOME-IN-TOPSAIL-BEACH-NC.jpg?_i=AA 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" /\u003e\u003c/figure\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeachfront Home  In Topsail Beach, NC\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eCreativity is often sparked by a long walk, and here, you can take that walk out on the beach.

You can share your favorite amenities (have a firepit for s’mores or a game room in the home?), photos of the rental, property reviews, and more.

Instagram business accounts, like Facebook business pages, will give you more audience insights, as well as provide a space for potential guests and past visitors to interact specifically with your vacation rental brand. The content you share should show the best aspects of your home and promote photos taken and shared by your guests! You can also post photos of local attractions, your favorite spots around town, and pictures of your property.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eHashtags are the best way for Instagram users to find your page. Add unique hashtags to your Instagram posts, but also use hashtags that relate to the content of the post, such as the town, the restaurant name, and anything else to make your post more searchable.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor example, if you’re posting a photo of your Pigeon Forge cabin, you can use hashtags like #pigeonforge #tennessee #pigeonforgecabin #vacationrentalcabin #tennesseevacation. You’ll also want to be sure to add your general location (like Pigeon Forge) to every post so that other people exploring pictures of that area will see your photo.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eBranded hashtags and Instagram usernames are incredibly important for your online presence and brand awareness. For example, a quick search of @evolvevacationrental or #evolvevacationrental will reveal a ton of beautiful Evolve properties. To create a branded hashtag and username, think of something easy to read, short, and unique to your property. If your home has a name, then you should use that for the username (and branded hashtag!). If it doesn’t, just make sure that the username and branded hashtag you choose clearly convey what your property offers. Or start thinking of a fun name for your home!\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eLet your guests know that you have an Instagram account prior to their trip or upon arrival (include your account name in your welcome book!) so they can tag your property in their photos, or even use a branded hashtag. This is a great way to show future guests what it would be like to spend time at your rental. It also means that your current guest will be sharing your property with their own friends and family.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstagram best practices:\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate a username and branded hashtag that is unique and relevant to your property\u003c/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cli\u003eInclude the link to your Evolve listing page in your account bio so that travelers can book your property\u003c/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cli\u003eUse high-quality images to really make your page pop\u003c/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cli\u003eEncourage guests to take pictures of their trip and share them on their own accounts (tagging your username and using your branded hashtag)\u003c/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cli\u003ePromote guest generated content and reconnect with your guests by asking them to send you pictures from their stay and repost them\u003c/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cli\u003eAdd the location to all of your posts to get your content in front of other locals or people looking for recommendations\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"\u003e Using Twitter for Your Vacation Rental \u003c/h2\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\"\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"alignright is-resized\"\u003e\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/Vxfr8fn841BfhRteTR0thFazZ4jEguChct7RjkbCDERiKpwA9bJVYdlFgb142Yu6lYcWDnHVEZbq_o0w_IqcwpLViXuGRRymt-bFzYdxH27frzqRn97mH9dwiIWPSXlIqx9Vm7O5\" alt=\"Screenshot of Evolve's Twitter profile \" width=\"399\" height=\"863\"/\u003e\u003c/figure\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile not quite as traveler-centric, Twitter is still a great way to network with other vacation rental homeowners and stay in the loop of breaking news and new advancements in vacation rental technology.

haven’t worked with us yet. It’s easy to see why. We’re all in the same industry, short-term property rentals. You can find and book great properties on our website or on theirs. And the fact that every Evolve property appears on Airbnb, Vrbo, and other online marketplaces just adds a little more to the confusion. \u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo let’s clear things up and outline exactly how Evolve is NOT Airbnb, Vrbo, HomeAway, TripAdvisor, or any other online marketplace.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThey’re Marketplaces, We’re a Management Company\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h2\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https://evolve.com/blog/homeowner-tips/homeaway-vs-vrbo-vs-airbnb-vs-flipkey-vs-tripadvisor-vs-booking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"\u003eAirbnb, Vrbo, and similar websites\u003c/a\u003e are online “marketplaces” where guests find properties and homeowners find guests. Essentially, they act as a distribution channel for owners or property managers, attracting potential guests to their website but leaving the management of the properties and listings to the owners (or whoever is representing the property) themselves.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvolve helps you \u003ca href=\"https://evolve.com/owner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"\u003estart, manage, and grow\u003c/a\u003e a vacation rental business. That means we \u003cstrong\u003eactively work \u003c/strong\u003eon behalf of our owners, ensuring maximum bookings and eliminating the stress of the traditional vacation rental process.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere’s where it gets interesting. Evolve is a BIG customer of the online marketplaces. We have tens of thousands of properties listed on their sites, and we constantly implement cutting-edge strategies to make sure our owners\u0026#8217; homes are positioned for maximum traffic and bookings. \u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eBehind the scenes, we have teams of specialists working on the hardest parts of \u003ca href=\"https://evolve.com/owner/vacation-rental-management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"\u003emanaging a vacation rental\u003c/a\u003e: marketing, booking, and customer service.

We even hire professional photographers to show each property in the best possible light. \u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a result of our approach, Evolve properties outperform most others on the online marketplaces. So we don’t compete with Airbnb, Vrbo and the rest. We work with them\u0026#8211;and everybody wins.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur Homes Are Different, Too: Always Perfect for Vacation \u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h2\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike most marketplaces, we don’t offer home sharing, extended stays, campsites, trailers, or other mobile structures. Each Evolve property has its own entrance and kitchen (typically a house or condominium). A lot of Evolve guests appreciate having the comforts of home when they travel, and our properties reflect that. \u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe take even more guesswork out of vacation rental by making sure our properties meet \u003ca href=\"https://help.evolvevacationrental.com/s/article/What-are-Evolve-s-4-Core-Property-Standards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"\u003eour four core standards\u003c/a\u003e.

Top-Requested Amenities for Beach and Lakefront Vacation Rentals"},"content":{"rendered":"\u003cp\u003eHave you ever wondered what travelers look for when they book vacation rentals and how you can make yours more appealing? Are you curious about why other properties seem to get booked before yours?\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlex Patershuk is an expert in that arena. She works on Evolve’s Travel Advisor team, talking to travelers every day to help them find a property in our network to best suits their needs. Alex is sharing her\u0026nbsp;expertise on the amenities that travelers consistently ask for when booking lake and beachfront properties.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe harsh reality is that if your property doesn’t have a specific amenity that people are looking for, they often book somewhere else.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are the top eight amenities that travelers ask for when booking a beach or lake house:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e1. Grill\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe\u003cem\u003e number one\u003c/em\u003e reason why travelers choose vacation rentals over hotels is to have a kitchen so they can cook!\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost vacation homes have fully-equipped kitchens, but your property will be more competitive for summer bookings if you have a grill as well. Grilling is an activity that some people plan entire trips around! And \u003cstrong\u003etravelers will often book one property over another if it has a grill \u0026#8211; a nice outdoor eating space is a huge plus, too.\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrilling isn’t just a way to spend quality time outside. Cooking homemade meals provides a huge cost savings. Imagine buying meals out every night for a family of four. The average budget for a vacation would be spent on a single dinner.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep in mind that if you do supply a grill, it is important to also supply the charcoal or gas and instructions for how to use your equipment!\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e2. Blender\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s 5 o’clock somewhere, right? Travelers often ask us about kitchen essentials, and \u003cstrong\u003ethe one beachgoers ask about most is a blender. Believe it or not, this can be a dealbreaker for some travelers.\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho can blame them? Travelers want to know they’re going to be able to enjoy their smoothies in the morning and margaritas in the afternoon. For many, a beach trip isn’t complete without a frosty cocktail \u0026#8211; and having a blender in the house is a little something extra that can make for an easy going trip.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you don’t have a blender at your property yet, we recommend investing in one. It will pay off quickly in the additional bookings you receive. And if you do have one, mention it in your listing!\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e3. Beach Supplies\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProviding beach supplies is a must if you want to be a top notch beach property.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we get questions from travelers about beach supplies, we hope to find some included as amenities on the listing. \u003cstrong\u003eTravelers are much more likely to book your property when they know that all the supplies they need to enjoy a beach vacation will be there!\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany of the people we work with are traveling long distances to enjoy a relaxing vacation. The majority travel by plane, which makes it difficult to pack beach essentials such as towels, toys, chairs, and umbrellas.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven those who travel by car are relieved to learn a house is equipped with many of these beach essentials. It takes the stress out of searching for those things and trying to pack it all up in a car, or buying them when they arrive and adding another large expense to the trip.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e4. Beach Access\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the biggest concerns that travelers have is about location. Guests often have a lot of questions about what kind of access they’ll have to the beach and their proximity to the ocean or lake.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou don’t have to have a\u0026nbsp;lakefront or beachfront home to be competitive! You just have to provide helpful information in your listing about how to access the beach and safe swimming areas. What is the walk like? Is it private or public? If it is private, what are the parameters for access?\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best way to combat these types of concerns is to offer clear information about where the beach is and how long it takes to get there. If you include this in your listing, you can answer those questions before they’re even asked.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e5. Beach Carts\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you don’t have a beachfront property, do you have something that will make it easy to access the water?\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTravelers often ask if specific amenities are provided to make it easy to get to the beach.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOffering a beach cart, especially if your property is more than a few blocks from the shore, can go a long way to ease travelers’ concerns about getting to-and-from the beach.\u003c/strong\u003e Carts can be a simple wagon or you can go all-out with a golf cart. Investing in this amenity will make your property much more appealing to travelers, as they can imagine it’s going to be an easy walk to the beach.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e6. Swimming Access\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you do have a waterfront property, great! If there is beach access, even better. But is the water clear enough for swimming?\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn numerous occasions, travelers have recounted lake trips that were ruined because of the weeds or rocky dangerous water. They ask us if a rental they’re interested in booking is going to provide safe swimming access.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo secure a booking on the front-end, and avoid a bad review post check-out, set clear expectations about what the waterfront is like. If you have great water views from your home, but it’s not a good swimming spot, you’ll want to provide that information to travelers.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt doesn’t mean you can’t accommodate beachgoers. You can still get those bookings by providing some suggestions about where guests can go for beach activities.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e7. Boat Rentals\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo you have a boat available for guests? Does it cost an extra fee? If not, is there a place nearby where guests can rent one for their stay?\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a homeowner in a lake or beach area, we are guessing that you understand the excitement of boating.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lot of travelers look forward to the same thing and book summertime vacation rentals with the idea of spending days out on the water.\u003cstrong\u003e If you don’t have a boat available for guests at your property, it’s extremely helpful if you lend your local expertise and recommend the best boat rental businesses\u003c/strong\u003e (ones they can trust!) in your area.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMention the rental business’ proximity to your property, and let your guests know if they can dock the boat at or near your home. If not, point them in the right direction of where their rental can be docked during their stay.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e8. Firepit\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepending on the fire laws in your area, a fire pit is a crucial element of a waterfront home. Travelers don’t just want this item at their vacation home \u0026#8211; they often expect it. Many go on vacation with the idea that they will get to enjoy time with friends and family in the great outdoors.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSitting around a fire pit at the end of a long day of activities (and of course roasting marshmallows for s’mores) is just what guests are looking for.\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your home doesn’t have a fire pit and you are able to provide one (check your local laws!), we highly recommend getting one installed at your home so you can start advertising it! Travelers get seriously excited about homes with firepits and having the opportunity to make memories around one.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an owner, it’s easy to overlook small amenities like blenders or beach supplies. Unless guests make a special request or provide feedback that they were missing these items during their stay, you may not even know they were looking for these things.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut we’ve seen first-hand how these small requests can make or break a booking. And having the right things at your home can mean the difference between having a fully booked calendar and one with lots of open days. Investing a little in your vacation rental can provide a huge pay off in the long run as you get more booking requests, better reviews, and loyal guests coming back year after year.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNot every property can provide every amenity that guests want, but there is a lot you can do to give travelers the very best experience. And vacation rental management services like Evolve can help ensure you’re getting the best possible rental income every year. \u003ca href=\"http://try.evolve.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener

to Make Your Vacation Rental Family Friendly"},"content":{"rendered":"\u003cp\u003eAs schools close for the summer and families begin planning their summer travels, it’s important to make sure your vacation rental is ready for families and groups of all ages. A 2018 AAA survey states that an estimated 88 million Americans will take family trips this year, and making your vacation rental family friendly is a great way to get more bookings from this popular travel demographic. Happy families will leave rave reviews when they’ve been provided with an exceptional stay, and may even become loyalists to your listing!\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImproving a family’s trip goes beyond supplying a couple G-rated DVDs. If you really want to improve the experience for all of your guests, go the extra mile. The changes you can make range from supplying inexpensive toys, to investing in a game room \u0026#8211; and they’ll help make your property more appealing to family groups so you don’t miss out on these lucrative bookings. Follow our tips below to make sure you’re providing a great experience for kids and adults alike.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e1.Supply kid-friendly entertainment\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Orlando area, where many families with young children like to visit, 43.6% of Evolve homes have game rooms with additions like pinball machines and foosball tables. These game rooms are huge in helping properties stand out against neighboring competitors \u0026#8211; even if they’re just converted garages with a few fun amenities.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon’t have the space to have a dedicated game room, but still want to appeal to a family-friendly demographic? Look into buying video game consoles, like an Xbox, and supplying some board games for family fun! These small additions are less costly than a game room and they will still leave a positive and lasting impression on guests.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e2. Make the most of your space\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdding extra sleeping options to your bedrooms and living spaces can help to make your vacation rental more family friendly. Many families opt to stay in vacation rentals because hotels don’t give them the space they need without requiring them to purchase another room.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrundle beds and sofa beds are great ways to add occupancy to your bedrooms, without completely converting them into kids’ rooms. Don’t go overboard, though. While bunk beds are great for children, they’re less appealing to adults. Adding bunks to all your rooms would run the risk of losing groups of adults who wouldn’t want to spend the night on the top bunk.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e3. Stock up on exciting extras\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you were traveling with kids during the summer, what kind of extras would you be thankful for when you arrived at a property?\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you’re trying to appeal to families, there’s a lot you can provide beyond extra cleaning supplies and linens to show your younger guests \u0026#8211; and their parents \u0026#8211; that you are invested in the quality of their stay at your rental.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your home is on the lake or at the beach, guests will be thankful if you supply them with some toys and equipment for the outdoors such as:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeach chairs\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeach towels\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShovels and buckets\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSunscreen and tanning lotion\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLife jackets in child and adult sizes\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeach and volleyballs\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith that being said, if your property has a pool or hot tub, you will definitely want to consider installing a child safety gate around them to decrease the likelihood of an accident and give parents peace of mind.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e4. Be prepared for emergencies\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen making your vacation rental more family friendly, you’ll want to give parents and caregivers everything they’ll need in case of an emergency.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClearly label emergency contacts in a high-traffic area so they’re always visible. You may want to have them outlined and hung up on your fridge, or pinned to a bulletin board.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThese contacts should include\u003c/strong\u003e:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe address of the closest hospital\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe address of the closest Urgent Care\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Urgent Care phone number\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe phone number of the rental’s main point of contact\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA local non-emergency police number\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e911\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe closest convenience store\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso be sure to have a first aid kit that you restock between groups of guests.This first aid kit should include different size bandages, antibiotic cream such as Neosporin, anti-itch cream such as Calamine Lotion, ice packs, and more. When it comes to more toxic substances such as cleaning supplies or other types of medication, try and keep those in a higher cabinet and out of reach of children.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e5. Give local family-friendly suggestions for fun\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuests traveling to your property may be unfamiliar with your town and neighborhood, and probably won’t know the best places to bring their family. Show them that you care about their experience both inside and outside your rental by providing them with suggestions of things to do.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupply them with your favorite kid-friendly spots, such as bowling alleys, movie theaters, ice cream shops, and parks, and possibly even go the extra mile and compile them all in a welcome book.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA welcome book is a great way to give your guests information about your property in a professional and personal way. You can find more information about welcome books and even \u003ca href=\"https://evolve.com/blog/homeowner-tips/how-to-guide-compiling-a-welcome-book-for-your-vacation-rental-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003edownload our free welcome book template by clicking here.\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e6.

We usually suggest leaving guests a bottle of wine or baked goods, but guests traveling with younger children might also appreciate a little something for them!\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou don’t have to spend too much money to show you care.

If the area is saturated with vacation rental properties, you\u0026#8217;ll need to work harder to make yours stand out.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you don\u0026#8217;t want to do the work to get your vacation rental property to the top of the pack in a crowded vacation marketplace, you might want to look off the beaten path.

This doesn’t mean you have to do anything too extravagant, but even a handwritten note to say, \u0026#8220;thank you for staying at my home,\u0026#8221; is enough to make your guests feel comfortable and will likely lead to a rave review!

If you can’t, don’t sweat it. Upgrades are the next step in your investment once you start turning a profit.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, this may not happen immediately \u0026#8211; and that’s completely okay.

They have higher expectations and additional needs.

The guest’s stay went great, so there was no reason for you to look for problems with the payment.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHowever, the person staying in your rental may not have been the person whose card was charged.\u003c/strong\u003e In these cases, the cardholder can ask for a chargeback, and since that cardholder did not agree to the charge, the request will likely be upheld. It’s usually pointless to dispute these types of chargebacks \u0026#8211; fraud cases are almost invariably settled in favor of the cardholder.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exception? Occasionally a cardholder will attempt to claim the use of their card was fraudulent when they did, in fact, make the purchase. We’ll talk about how to avoid such cases in the section on how to avoid chargebacks.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Do I Go About Disputing a Chargeback?\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaying with a credit card involves three entities: the credit card processor (such as Vacation Rent Payment or Square), the bank (such as Wells Fargo or Chase), and the credit card company (such as Visa, Mastercard, or American Express).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen a guest requests a chargeback, the cardholder\u0026#8217;s issuing bank decides whether the request is valid and if a payment reversal will be issued, but your credit card processor acts as a liaison between you, the cardholder, and the bank.\u003c/strong\u003e You will be working directly with your credit card processor to dispute the chargeback.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first step for a guest requesting a chargeback will be contacting their bank and making a request to reverse the charge. The bank will notify the processor that the request has been made, and the processor will then remove the funds from your account and hold them until the bank determines whether or not the chargeback is valid.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the funds are being held, you can submit information through your credit card processor that supports your dispute of the chargeback. The credit card processor will present that information to the cardholder’s bank to show that the charge was valid and that the funds should be returned to your account.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the bank finds in your favor, the funds being held will be returned to you. If the bank finds in the cardholder’s favor, the funds will be returned to them. \u003cstrong\u003eHowever, both you and the cardholder have the option to escalate the dispute further if you feel it necessary \u0026#8211; though it’s costly for whomever loses the dispute.\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou or the cardholder may escalate the dispute to the credit issuer (i.e. Visa, Mastercard, American Express). You’ll then go through the same basic process: you’ll provide evidence to support your story, and so will the cardholder. The credit issuer will make the ultimate determination, and the losing party will be fined at least $250 for the credit card company\u0026#8217;s trouble.

Answering the phone for an inquiry, for example, might only take a few minutes \u0026#8211; but if you have to answer that call in the middle of your workday, you should be aware of the time cost of multitasking.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://www.ics.uci.edu/~gmark/chi08-mark.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eAccording to recent research\u003c/a\u003e, it takes approximately 25 minutes to get back on track after a distraction. Which means your call won’t take 5 minutes out of your day \u0026#8211; it’ll take half an hour, because it will take you some time to re-focus on the task you were pulled away from when the phone rang.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the cost of multitasking in mind as we go through the rest of the time obligations for a successful vacation rental. Are you prepared to lose not only the five minutes for the call, but the additional 25 minutes away from your other obligations?\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBooking Time\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn average, our properties tend to receive around 5 to 10 calls or emails from interested renters per month. Unfortunately, those calls don’t come in regularly spaced intervals \u0026#8211; you may have a month or two in low season with only one inquiry, while high season has your phone ringing off the hook.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOwners can expect responding to these inquiries to take between 5 minutes and 1 hour apiece, depending on how in-depth the guest’s questions are.\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince answering your inquiries promptly is one of the primary keys to keeping your property relevant, you’ll need to make yourself consistently available.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is where that cost of multitasking comes in! Successful vacation rentals answer their inquiries within one hour, which means you may need to interrupt your work day, social obligations, or family time to manage your inquiries.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of those inquiries will result in bookings, and finalizing the booking is also a time investment \u0026#8211; though it varies depending on the method of booking you’ve chosen.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’ve decided to offer online booking through a listing site, your process should be fairly quick: you’ll accept the booking and the guest will agree to the terms of your rental agreement automatically when they make their initial deposit.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you prefer not to offer online booking, the booking process will take much longer.\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou’ll need to send a paper agreement for your guest’s signature and wait for it to be returned to you (though you can speed up this process by sending the agreement via email). If you prefer to receive a paper check for payment, you’ll need to allocate a few days to receive the check by mail and approximately 2 additional days for it to process.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re planning to make running your vacation rental a part-time job, answering the phone on the first ring may not prove a problem for you. If you already have a busy schedule, however, you might want to delegate these tasks to someone with a little more time on their plate.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrand Total: 1 \u0026#8211; 20 Hours Per Month, depending on inquiries and demand\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePre-Stay Time\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore your guests arrive, you’ll need to put some time into preparing your property and communicating with your renters about what to expect during their stay.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA week or two before your guests’ booking date, you’ll want to send pre-stay instructions, which include how to access the property, where essential items are located, the physical address, the WiFi password, local grocery stores and businesses \u0026#8211; anything your guests might need to know to enjoy their stay!\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConduct a pre-stay walk-through to make sure your rental is guest-ready, including checking each room’s cleanliness, making sure all appliances and fixtures are in working order, and checking that your access method is working properly.

Some will be charming, delightful people you’d like to keep as friends well after their stay. Some will be fairly neutral and quickly forgotten \u0026#8211; you didn’t talk much, but they left the property in decent condition and you wouldn’t mind hosting them again.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd then there are those other guests.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery now and then you’ll have a guest who absolutely ruins your day \u0026#8211; either because they have a legitimate complaint that you don’t know how to resolve, or because they’re belligerent, unreasonable, and demanding.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’ve put into practice our suggestions for \u003ca href=\"https://evolve.com/blog/homeowner-tips/vacation-rental-101-guest-inquiries-and-screening\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003evetting potential guests\u003c/a\u003e, you shouldn’t encounter many of these at all. You can usually tell in a phone conversation or even via email when a person is going to make unreasonable demands of you.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat said, we’ve yet to meet a single owner who doesn’t have a few tales of impossible guests that they never saw coming, and it\u0026#8217;s best to be prepared for these interactions when they occur. Let’s talk about how to handle these conflicts in a way that reflects well on you \u0026#8211; and protects your rental business from negative reviews.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Handle Legitimate Complaints\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMistakes do happen. Once in a blue moon, your cleaning service will flub their scheduled cleaning or you yourself will forget to turn on the heat in the pool as you promised.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes, a situation arises that you couldn’t possibly anticipate. I heard from a woman at the HomeAway Summit who had a guest complain because a neighbor’s cat had left a dead mouse on the property’s threshold! Hard to think how she could have avoided that particular issue.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhatever the reason, the guest has a legitimate complaint that has disrupted their vacation, and they’re calling to let you know about it. \u003cstrong\u003eWhat should you do?\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStep One: Apologize\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour default, knee-jerk reaction when a guest has a complaint should be to apologize for the problem existing in the first place. You don’t have to take the blame yourself, but the first words out of your mouth should be something like: “I’m so sorry that happened to you.”\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeople need to hear that their concerns are valid; they need to know someone cares that they were inconvenienced. Think how you’d feel if you arrived after a long day of traveling, expecting to finally be able to put your feet up \u0026#8211; only to find you have to deal with some problem that needs resolving. No fun, right?\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo \u003cstrong\u003eapologize\u003c/strong\u003e. Apologize if you were at fault, apologize if someone else was at fault, apologize if no one at all was at fault. Tell them you’re sorry this happened to them on their vacation \u0026#8211; because come on, aren’t you?\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStep Two: Take Immediate Steps to Solve the Problem\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGet someone over to the property right away to solve the problem.\u003c/strong\u003e Remember your \u003ca href=\"https://evolve.com/blog/homeowner-tips/vacation-rental-guest-check-ins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003elocal contact person\u003c/a\u003e? This is why there’s absolutely no substitute for a nearby person being available in case of emergency \u0026#8211; they can be your saving grace when that unforeseen issue arises.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrompt response is especially important if their issue is something that impedes the guest’s ability to begin using the property\u003c/strong\u003e, such as the house not being cleaned, the guest not being able to access the property, or the heating or cooling systems being broken.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you cannot get someone to the property right away to resolve the problem, acknowledge that this is deeply inconvenient for your guest, and\u003cstrong\u003e tell them exactly what you are going to do to fix the problem and when you are going to do it\u003c/strong\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is also a good time to ask if there’s anything that needs taking care of right away, such as groceries that need to go in a refrigerator. If at all possible, find resolutions for these problems immediately \u0026#8211; call in a favor from a neighbor and ask if they wouldn’t mind storing those groceries temporarily, for example.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen tell the guest how you’re going to make it up to them.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStep Three: Make Restitution\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe size of the restitution should be commensurate with the amount of inconvenience the guest experienced.\u003c/strong\u003e If your neighbor was able to hop over right away and help them with the lockbox, your guest was only inconvenienced for about 10 minutes.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf everything else goes well, that problem will likely be forgotten almost immediately, especially if it comes with a sincere apology. If you have the time,\u003cstrong\u003e send over a small gift such as a local snack or a bottle of wine the next day\u003c/strong\u003e with a note apologizing for the inconvenience and telling them to please let you know if there’s anything else you can do.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost problems can’t be resolved quite this quickly, however. \u003cstrong\u003eIf your guest was inconvenienced by more than an hour, particularly if they were really upset by the issue, up the ante with a larger restitution.\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is particularly effective if you can couple it with an activity for them to do while waiting. For example: “I’m so sorry, I can’t get over there to help you until 7:00. Can I suggest you take the family to dinner at Local Restaurant on me while you wait? I’d be more than happy to call ahead and make reservations for you.”\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMake it easy for them, and be prepared with a few ways they could spend the time it will take for you to get a resolution to their problem.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the guest is still angry, it’s time to turn to your final option: offering a refund.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStep Four: Offer a Refund\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou needn’t offer to refund the entire amount of the guest’s stay. \u003cstrong\u003eStart with a refund appropriate to the inconvenience they were caused\u003c/strong\u003e \u0026#8211; for example, if the house was not cleaned when they arrive, refund their cleaning fee.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat makes sense: they paid to have a clean house and didn’t receive the service they paid for, so give them their money back.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimilarly, if the issue was such that the guest was unable to stay in the house (such as a broken heater in the dead of winter), refund them for any nights they were unable to stay at your property. Again, this is simply logical: they didn’t receive a night in your property, so you shouldn’t charge them for it.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther issues can be harder to calculate. What’s an appropriate refund for the guest who had to deal with a broken stove over Thanksgiving weekend?\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs ever, it’s up to you as an owner \u0026#8211; but\u003cstrong\u003e we highly recommend putting yourself in the guest’s shoes and asking yourself what would make up for that level of inconvenience\u003c/strong\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour guest’s goodwill is important to the integrity of your business, and one bad review detailing the problem the guest suffered can really damage your reputation. Guests want to know that if an issue arises, you’ll be willing to fix it \u0026#8211; and that they won’t wind up paying a large sum of money for a stay that didn’t meet their expectations.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost guests know that problems do happen and will be satisfied if you make a good-faith attempt to resolve the problem and compensate them for their trouble. But every now and then, you get a guest who will not be satisfied with these efforts.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhich brings us to the belligerent and the unreasonable.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Handle Unreasonable Guests\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere most people understand that mistakes and problems will happen from time to time, unreasonable guests simply will not be satisfied with an apology, a prompt fix, and an appropriately-sized restitution.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther guests may be problematic from the get-go, insisting that a property hasn’t been sufficiently cleaned because there are pine needles on the porch. One guest complained when a certain amenity wasn’t provided even after multiple emails explaining that amenity was not available!\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese guests are very difficult to deal with, and many owners struggle with these types of conflicts because the guest may be aggressive, rude, or insulting. It’s hard to keep a cool head when someone is calling you names over the phone!\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere’s how to handle these types of problematic guests.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStep One: Take a Deep Breath\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf a guest becomes aggressive or insulting on the initial phone call, tell the guest calmly that you’re going to need to call them back in a few minutes.\u003c/strong\u003e You can make an excuse \u0026#8211; “I will see what I can do about that problem and call you back shortly.” \u0026#8211; or you can simply tell the guest that you feel the conversation has gotten out of hand and you think you both need a moment to cool off.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen give yourself a minute to be upset about the situation. Tell someone nearby about it. Rant and rave a little, if that makes you feel better. Take a walk around the block if possible to work off a little distressed energy. A calm state of mind is essential for dealing with difficult guests!\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStep Two: Assess the Situation\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAsk yourself what the facts are.\u003c/strong\u003e It can be hard to look at the situation logically when you’re feeling upset, so it can help to write down what really happened so you can assess what needs to happen next.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuest arrived, and they say the house hasn’t been cleaned.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI talked to my cleaning person and they say they cleaned the house.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI asked the guest if they would please take a photo of the uncleaned house, and they refused.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAssessing the situation from a “just the facts” perspective can help you get a handle on what problem you’re really trying to solve. You’re not trying to fix the problem of the guest being aggressive. You’re fixing the problem the guest actually encountered: a dirty house.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStep Three: Offer the Solution You Always Offer\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guest may or may not be misrepresenting the property. They may or may not have found an unclean house. They may simply have higher standards for “cleanliness” than your previous guests have had. Regardless, you have a complaint about an unclean house \u0026#8211; so what would you normally do if the guest weren’t being belligerent?\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou’d offer to refund the cleaning fee and send over the housekeeper to re-do the cleaning, wouldn’t you?\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCall your guest back when you feel a little calmer, and \u003cstrong\u003epropose the solution you would have provided any ordinary guest\u003c/strong\u003e. If they continue to be aggressive, calmly state that it’s your standard policy whenever there is an issue of this kind to offer this type of resolution.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou are sorry they were inconvenienced, and this is the solution you are offering. Stick to that line, and don’t waver.\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour rental agreement should include language that allows you to evict the guest if they become destructive or make personal threats, but for the most part, the guest will simply be unhappy that you didn\u0026#8217;t acquiesce to their demands. Let them be upset; you\u0026#8217;ve already determined that you\u0026#8217;re not dealing with a reasonable person.

Better to say \u0026#8220;She called me several names on the phone\u0026#8221; than to say \u0026#8220;she was rude and obnoxious.\u0026#8221;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere\u0026#8217;s an example of how to describe the situation without attacking the guest personally:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“I have to say I disagree with this guest’s description of the situation.

The guest was very aggressive and called me names, insisting on a full refund of all fees \u0026#8211; although they wanted to stay at the property for the full week. I said I couldn’t do that, but would refund the fee and send the cleaner.

For example, if they want to know whether your stove is gas or electric, you’ll know right off the top of your head.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther questions may not be quite as easy to answer. \u003cstrong\u003eTravelers will have questions about your property’s suitability for their particular needs\u003c/strong\u003e, which can vary quite a bit.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou’ll commonly get questions like:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIs your property suitable for children?\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIs your property suitable for elderly people or people with disabilities?\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIs your property in a safe neighborhood?\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan you walk to [downtown, hiking trails, etc.]?\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese questions are a bit more objective. Your property may be suitable for children in that you’re happy to rent to parents, but it may not be “suitable” in the way the traveler imagines. They might think “suitable” means that there are child-proof outlets, for example.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou’ll want to be able to provide specific answers to these questions\u003c/strong\u003e, so spend a little time thinking about what you can and cannot promise. A good answer to “is this property suitable for the elderly?” might be:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003eWell, the house is mostly on one level, and there is a bedroom on the ground floor, but there are stairs to the second floor that might be difficult to navigate. The bathroom has a shower-tub combination, which might be a little difficult, but it does also have a safety bar.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBe honest about what you can and cannot promise, and be as specific as you can.\u003c/strong\u003e If your property doesn’t fit this family’s needs, it doesn’t. It is very unlikely that a traveler will arrive at your property and be so amazed by how great it is that they forget you promised them something you couldn’t actually deliver.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTravelers will appreciate your honesty, and you’ll find they may even come back to you as an option if they’re traveling with a different party in the future.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the #1 question travelers ask:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the kitchen fully equipped?\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’ve followed our advice on stocking a vacation rental kitchen, your answer is definitely yes. If you’ve decided not to offer spices, cooking staples, or certain cooking utensils, you should tell them so \u0026#8211; once again, your idea and the traveler’s idea of what “fully equipped” means might differ, and you will practically guarantee yourself a bad review if the traveler feels misled.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Do You Need to Know About Your Area?\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou’ll find quite a lot of travelers want to know more about your general location and the availability of amenities in the area, particularly if you have a property near water or skiing.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe highly recommend having ready answers to the following questions:\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow near are you to [common attraction or destination]?\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo you have a grocery store nearby?\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIs there a hospital or medical care facility nearby?\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhere can I rent ski equipment/a snowmobile/waterskis/a boat?\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAre there any good restaurants nearby?\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow far are you from the airport?\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBe prepared with precise answers.\u003c/strong\u003e You should be able to tell them there’s a grocery store within walking distance, a medical facility 5 miles away, and a great ski equipment place right by the slopes that you recommend highly.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHave the names of all your recommended destinations available\u003c/strong\u003e. Travelers want to hear that you know the area and will be able to help them get the most out of their vacation.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaying “Oh, yes, there’s a good Italian place … what is the name of it, I can never remember” tells them you haven’t been there recently and your recommendation might not count for much. If you say “You must go to Marconi’s, it’s wonderful, we go every time we’re in town,” they feel far more confident they’ll enjoy it as much as you do.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you can, recommend specific people to talk to!\u003c/strong\u003e You can even ask those locations if they’d be willing to offer a small discount to your renters in exchange for you sending business directly to them. “Ask for James at the water ski rental and tell him you’re my guest, he’ll give you a 10% discount.”\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJames will be happy to get the business and your travelers will be happy to get the discount. You’ll be happy to get a great review for going above and beyond the call, too!\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Exceptions Should You Make?\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMany travelers will ask if you are willing to make exceptions to the rules stated in your listing.\u003c/strong\u003e You should know in advance which items you are and are not willing to negotiate on.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTravelers will often ask questions like:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI know your maximum occupancy is 6, but we have 6 adults and a 2-year-old who would sleep with Mom and Dad \u0026#8211; is that okay?\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour property says you only have space for 2 cars but we have 3. Can we park the third car on the street?\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou have a rule that says “no parties” but we would like to host a small dinner party of just 8 people \u0026#8211; no noise, no problems. Is that okay?\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not unreasonable to offer exceptions to your rules, but you’ll want to know in advance where you are and are not willing to compromise. Otherwise, you may find you feel pressured into making exceptions when you would really rather not.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt’s best to know in advance what kinds of behavior your rules are designed to avoid\u003c/strong\u003e so that you can feel comfortable knowing when an exception is appropriate.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou might feel flexible on your “no children” rule for a couple with an infant in arms, because your real intention is to avoid small children breaking your delicate knick-knacks, and a baby cannot cause that problem. You may feel flexible about small parties of older adults if you feel you can trust the group to behave responsibly.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s entirely up to you. If you don’t feel comfortable making an exception, simply say you’re sorry you can’t help them. If they push back, close the conversation and wish them luck finding a rental that can better accommodate them.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinally, there’s a common exception many travelers ask for: a discount on the nightly rate.\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou should always have a little leeway available in your rates, particularly if a traveler is booking in low season or snapping up a few days in an otherwise-packed calendar. \u003cstrong\u003eKnow your rock-bottom rate and stick to it \u0026#8211; and be discerning about to whom you will offer a discount.\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(Not sure what your rock-bottom rate should be? Take a look at this post on \u003ca href=\"https://evolve.com/blog/homeowner-tips/vacation-rental-pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003evacation rental pricing\u003c/a\u003e.)\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf a traveler asks belligerently or tries to tell you that your property isn’t worth the price, they’re likely to cause other problems down the line and are best avoided. You’re better off offering discounts to travelers who appreciate the favor and behave accordingly.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Should You Ask the Traveler?\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou may have heard some horror stories about travelers who destroy the property with wild parties or willful neglect. Allow me to reassure you that such travelers are few and far between, and that you can often avoid them with a few judicious questions in your vetting process.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLook out for any obvious “red flags.”\u003c/strong\u003e Ours include things like:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA different name on the reservation vs. on the credit card\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA traveler whose home address is near your property\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA stated number of travelers that doesn’t match up with your occupancy (e.g., the traveler says they have 2 people, but they’re renting a 4-bedroom property)\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA large number of people, even if the property accommodates large parties\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge groups of adults traveling without children\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of these can have perfectly logical explanations. A husband may be using his wife’s credit card to make the booking. Someone may be booking a property on behalf of their relatives who are coming to visit. A traveler may not have noticed that they didn’t enter in the number of travelers, so the system defaulted to 2 adults.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegardless, you should \u003cstrong\u003eask, and then listen closely.\u003c/strong\u003e You can usually hear when someone is trying to pull the wool over your eyes, and if you don’t feel the guest is being straightforward with you, do not rent to them. Your gut instincts are often right!\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTake a little time to chat with them about their trip and their intentions.\u003c/strong\u003e “What brings you to town?” is a great, friendly question, and most people can answer readily. People who intend to use your property for a party they know isn’t allowed, however, will have a harder time answering, and that hesitation is your warning sign.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have concerns about safety, you can go to additional lengths such as asking for a copy of their driver’s license to verify their identity. That said, many legitimate travelers aren\u0026#8217;t comfortable sharing this kind of information simply to rent lodging, and vetting strategies often prove more effective to find the rare problematic guest.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can count the number of bad apples we’ve had this year on one hand \u0026#8211; and we’ve made over 30,000 bookings in that time! Again: the vast majority of guests are ordinary people who simply want to have a nice vacation, and they\u0026#8217;ll generally treat your property with respect. Your most common incidents are always going to be accidental damage, not fraud or catastrophic renters.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eListen to your instincts in the vetting process and be sure \u003ca href=\"https://evolve.com/blog/homeowner-tips/vacation-rental-101-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eyou’re covered for accidental damage\u003c/a\u003e, and you’ll enjoy a long string of great guests.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis post is part of Evolve’s Vacation Rental 101: The Expanded Ultimate Guide to Success series, where we discuss the ins and outs of vacation rental ownership for newcomers and experienced veterans alike.\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTo be sure you don’t miss a post, download the Ultimate Vacation Rental Success Guide below and we’ll send you an email notification every time we publish a new 101 article.\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u003cp\u003eYou created a listing for your beautifully furnished new vacation rental, and you’ve just received an email from\u0026#8230;\u003c/p\u003e\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":12869,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_cloudinary_featured_overwrite":false},"categories":[126],"tags":[139],"acf":{"blog_post_cta_visual_blocks":false,"show_hubspot_form":false},"yoast_meta":{"yoast_wpseo_title":"What's a Guest Chargeback and What Can You Do About It?","yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"Payment reversals are a possibility for any industry - but vacation rental owners can take these steps to prevent or dispute a \"chargeback\".","yoast_wpseo_canonical":""},"yoast_head":"\u003c!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v14.7 - https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo/ --\u003e\n\u003cmeta name=\"description\" content=\"When a guest inquires about your property, what questions will they ask, and what should you ask them?

A good night’s sleep and a hot shower are known to be great restoratives \u0026#8211; and guests will definitely notice if they have difficulty getting either.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere’s everything you need to ensure guests have an amazing bedtime experience in your vacation rental.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Bedrooms\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bedroom is more than a place to lay your head.

Noise, light, temperature, and uncomfortable beds are the most common culprits, so spend a little time thinking about how to create a restful space they’ll be pleased to retreat to.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cem\u003eBeds \u003c/em\u003e\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways choose bedframes and mattresses that match the size of your bedrooms. A twin bed in a large room or a king bed in a small one look equally silly, and either will make your guests feel like they’re not in a well-appointed space.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat said, we’d always recommend putting\u003cstrong\u003e a king-sized bed in the master bedroom\u003c/strong\u003e if at all possible.

Different areas may have additional requirements to ensure full coverage.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHomeowner’s Insurance\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhether or not you’re renting out your property as a vacation rental, you should have homeowner’s insurance.\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn general, these policies will cover any damage to your home or possessions and liability coverage for accidents on your property. If a tree falls on your garage or someone slips on your stairs while visiting you, your homeowner’s policy is designed to cover you in those unforeseen situations.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you’re renting out your home, however, your homeowner’s policy may not cover damages in the same way. There are often stipulations where coverage no longer applies if you are operating your property as a business, but whether this applies to you depends on your area and your insurer.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheck with your insurer to see if renting out your home short-term will alter your coverage, and if so, in what ways.\u003c/strong\u003e You’ll need to make up any gaps in your homeowner’s policy with other types of coverage.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe way the policy changes will vary from state to state and provider to provider, but one very common exemption is that your homeowner’s policy will not provide liability coverage for a paying renter.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhich is to say: your policy might pay the medical bills if your mother-in-law slips on your stairs, but not if a paying guest does. You’re going to need some coverage that specifically covers your renters.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRental Property Insurance\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a short-term renter, you’re technically a “landlord” \u0026#8211; it’s just that you have a tenant who’s on a short-term, rather than a long-term lease. You can still be held responsible for a tenant’s or visitor’s injuries on your property in the same way a long-term landlord would, and so it’s best to look for rental property insurance (sometimes referred to as “landlord insurance”).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour rental property insurance policy should include coverage for any damage caused by unforeseeable circumstances such as fire, storms, burglary, or vandalism. \u003cstrong\u003eYou’ll also want to be sure it includes liability insurance that covers injuries and losses suffered by tenants and visitors on the property.\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiability insurance will cover you in the case of a renter hurting themselves on your property, or any damage to the renter’s property if it’s damaged as the result of your failure to maintain the property.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis can happen even if you couldn’t have foreseen the issue. A heavy storm could cause an unexpected leak that damages the renter’s possessions, for example, and it’s hard to be 100% certain your property won’t have any issues that affect the renter. It’s better to be safe than sorry when it comes to liability insurance — particularly as you’ll have lots of renters coming and going.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiability insurance will also cover the cost of legal bills if someone brings suit against you.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’ve covered how to be sure you’re protected if someone damages your property accidentally or if a renter is injured on your property. But how do you protect yourself against willful damage to the property by a renter?\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDeposits and Damage Protection\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe go-to method of covering damage to a rental property, for both long-term and short-term tenants, has always been a deposit. If you rent an apartment for a year, you’ll be asked to put down a deposit of approximately one month’s rent. When you move out, the landlord can use that money to repair any damage you caused to the property during your tenancy, and will refund you the rest.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShort-term landlords have been doing much the same thing \u0026#8211; but they get a lot of push-back from guests because \u003cstrong\u003ethe cost of the deposit can be prohibitively high compared to the cost of the rental\u003c/strong\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you rent long-term, you know you’re going to get a year’s tenancy out of your deposit, so the amount seems like a reasonable investment in the landlord’s risk. When you rent short-term, you might put down $600 for a three-night stay. If the deposit is $500, you might feel like it’s far too much for such a short visit \u0026#8211; even if you’re confident you’ll get it back.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeposits also open up the potential for disputes between landlord and tenant.\u003c/strong\u003e If the tenant leaves your property in such a condition that you feel it’s necessary to take an additional cleaning fee out of the deposit, you may wind up arguing with the tenant over whether or not the property was dirty enough to require the extra cleaning. Similarly, you may wind up disputing over whether the tenant broke the air conditioning or if it was broken when they arrived.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuch disputes — even if you’re entirely in the right — can result in the guest leaving you a bad review and accusing you of wrongdoing, damaging your reputation in the eyes of future potential renters.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat’s why we recommend a damage protection program instead, like the one Evolve owners receive when \u003ca href=\"https://evolve.com/owner/vacation-rental-management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eworking with us\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s no dispute about the deposit return because the fee isn’t refundable, and you as a landlord don’t need to force the guest to admit they’re at fault. You simply take pictures of the damage, submit a claim to the provider with receipts, and your costs will usually be fully covered.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe other advantage is that you get far more protection.\u003c/strong\u003e Most damages caused by guests are quite small, such as accidentally breaking a coffee cup, but some can be substantial. If your $1,000 couch gets a cigarette burn on it, you’ll need to replace the entire couch — and a $500 deposit won’t cover the full amount. A good property protection plan will.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAdditional Insurance\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis isn’t a comprehensive list of every single type of insurance you’ll need!\u003c/strong\u003e These are the basics for how to get covered for the most common problems in short-term rental, but you may need additional types of insurance depending on your area or insurance provider.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor example, if you live in a flood, hurricane, or earthquake area, you may need separate coverage to be sure you’re not liable if a renter is harmed during such a catastrophe.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best way forward is to explain to your insurance provider that you intend to rent your property short-term, and ask for their advice on every type of insurance you might need. This article will give you some good starting points, but make sure you ask about any potential problem you’re concerned about!

Reasons to Rent a Vacation Home Instead of a Hotel Room"},"content":{"rendered":"\u003cp\u003eAs vacation rentals continue to grow in popularity, many people are wondering what all the fuss is about.\u0026nbsp;The help out, we came up with\u0026nbsp;eight great reasons why renting a vacation home is better than staying at a hotel.\u003c!--more--\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1. Renting a vacation home can save you money.\u003c/strong\u003e Renting a house, townhouse, or condo can be surprisingly affordable. For even more savings, divide the cost of one vacation rental home with friends or family. Though it\u0026#8217;s not true in all cases, many travelers find that renting a home is much cheaper than renting enough hotel rooms to accommodate their entire group.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Vacation rentals are available in more places.\u003c/strong\u003e\u0026nbsp;Many\u0026nbsp;travelers opt\u0026nbsp;to rent a house simply\u0026nbsp;because acceptable hotels aren\u0026#8217;t available in some\u0026nbsp;areas. If you\u0026#8217;d like to stay in a remote location or anywhere that\u0026#8217;s not big with tourists, you may have trouble finding a decent hotel. Booking\u0026nbsp;a vacation rental is the perfect way\u0026nbsp;to ensure you get to stay closer to\u0026nbsp;where you want to be.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. You\u0026#8217;ll have plenty of space.\u003c/strong\u003e Family vacations used to include kids bickering over who got what side of the bed and what to watch on the only TV in the hotel room. In a rental home, there may be many TVs, and there will certainly be plenty of beds. Each child might even get her own room. Mom and Dad will definitely get their own room—privacy at last!\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Your whole group can stay together.\u003c/strong\u003e In a hotel, a large family or group of friends will be spread out among several rooms, possibly on different sides of the building. A house, townhouse, or condo lets you all stay together, so everyone is easy to find and include in the fun. You\u0026#8217;ll also have more comfortable places to hang out as a group—in the living room, on a deck or patio, or around a dining table.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5. It\u0026#8217;s easier to travel with pets.\u003c/strong\u003e Not all vacation homes allow pets, but many do. Yes, many hotels now accept pets, too, but a house will give your pet more space to run. And if your dog gets nervous and barks late at night, your neighbors may be too far away to complain about the noise.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6. You can cook at home, if you\u0026#8217;d like to.\u003c/strong\u003e Cooking your own meals can be a big budget saver. You\u0026#8217;ll also be able to keep a fridge and cabinets full of snacks, and have access to your favorite coffee at a moment\u0026#8217;s notice. Better yet, having\u0026nbsp;access to a\u0026nbsp;kitchen can be a lifesaver when traveling with someone who\u0026nbsp;has special dietary needs.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e7. Access to\u0026nbsp;free laundry facilities.\u003c/strong\u003e Most rental homes are equipped with washers and dryers—no coins needed (be sure to ask when booking if this is important to you). When it\u0026#8217;s this easy to do laundry, you\u0026#8217;ll save time\u0026nbsp;and money, and you\u0026#8217;ll be able to pack lighter.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e8. You can live more like the locals do.\u003c/strong\u003e\u0026nbsp;With a vacation rental, you\u0026#8217;ll likely stay\u0026nbsp;in a more residential part of town, instead of on a tourist strip. Best of all, you\u0026#8217;ll be in contact with the homeowners, who have probably lived or vacationed in your rental, themselves. Be sure to ask them for insider tips on the best restaurants and activities in the area.\u003c/p\u003e\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u003cp\u003eAs vacation rentals continue to grow in

While it’s not hard to book a vacation rental, it is hard to feel as if you’ve gotten not only the best deal possible but also understand everything that’s expected (on both sides – renter and owner) during your stay.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--more--\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\nSo – welcome to your online guide of the 10 questions that smart travelers ask before they book a vacation rental. We hope that this guide takes the guesswork out of the legwork for anyone who wants the freedom vacation rentals provide for their next trip. It’s a pretty simple list – so away we go!\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the payment terms?\u003c/strong\u003e Some vacation rental sites require you to pay the entire cost of your stay up front and others require a deposit. Make sure you understand what you’re in for financially as vacation rentals aren’t like hotels – you’re working with someone just like you who owns a great place and they want to make sure you’re committed to staying so they don’t pass up other rental opportunities.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a security deposit required?\u003c/strong\u003e Depending on where you book, some vacation rental owners might require a security deposit for your stay. Understand how much this is, what it covers and how you will be refunded following your stay.\u0026nbsp; There is also an emerging trend towards offering Rental Damage Insurance in lieu of a security deposit (this is our approach at Evolve, through our partner \u003ca href=\"http://www.travelguard.com\"\u003eTravel Guard\u003c/a\u003e). Just know that there are varying options available, depending on where you book.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I pick up the keys?\u003c/strong\u003e You have to get in, right? Unlike hotels, most vacation properties will have arrangements made for someone locally to hold the keys. These can range from a local property manager to a friend or family member of the owner. Be sure to ask the hours for pickup and dropoff and how they prefer you to return the keys at the end of your stay.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to bring my own linens?\u003c/strong\u003e Occasionally you’ll find that vacation rentals don’t come with creature comforts like bed linens. Know before you go and you’ll avoid an uncomfortable realization when you’re ready to call it a night!\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the kitchen equipped?\u003c/strong\u003e Just like bed linens, it’s smart to ask what’s available for use in the kitchen. This means everything from flatware to plates, glasses and pots and pans.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhom do I call if I have a problem during my stay?\u003c/strong\u003e We never want to plan for the worst, but make sure you have a phone number to reach someone 24/7.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the parking arrangements?\u003c/strong\u003e Many condos and resort properties have parking permits and/or assigned parking. Be sure to ask and avoid getting towed.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the site that I’m booking my vacation rental through manage complaints?\u003c/strong\u003e Most vacation rental sites have customer service contact information where you can report a transaction that’s gone awry. There are also many sites with robust peer review systems, where actual vacationers who have used the property can rate their experience. This is a great way to get a feel for the person you’re looking to do business with: the owner.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat amenities are available at the property?\u003c/strong\u003e Don’t take all photos at face value. Smart property owners have professional photos taken to increase bookings – we’re sure you would, too! Be sure to ask if the things you see in the photos will be included with your stay (and don’t forget to ask about internet access!).\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is your cancellation policy?\u003c/strong\u003e Perhaps one of the most important details, know the cancellation policy before you book. Many sites have trip insurance options that cost just a few dollars relative to the cost of losing the deposit you’ve placed on your entire stay. Know what your options and windows are and here’s a tip: schedule a calendar reminder a day before the cancellation policy expires so you don’t miss your window if you need to exercise it.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u003cp\u003eEver had the inkling to book a vacation rental and not known where to start?
