To give you a taste of what’s included in the guide, here are some of the great tips and steps AirBNB hosts should consider in their quest to showcase and list their vacation property and drive engagement and bookings.

  • Set profitable rental goals – Understand the key weeks or periods in the year and the expected rental income you could receive, be mindful of the percentage you need to offset to cover ownership costs and expenses and focus on the fluctuation of demand.
 
  • Check compliance – This might be a tad dry, however, it is essential you check local and state governments, permits, health code regulations, insurance, HOAs and income tax to ensure you understand your regulations and tax requirements.
 
  • Focus on your cleaning and maintenance – Your AirBNB  home rental requires a dedicated and committed cleaning service to do spring-cleans, deep cleans and cleans after guests. Ideally, this group may also meet and greet guests if you require someone on the ground to assist with this.

  • Set up your vacation rental home to suit guests – Your vacation home shouldn’t be strewn with all your personal belongings. Cut back the clutter and make sure all the essential elements in your vacation home are in good working order for guests, including dishwashers and appliances.

  • Carry out a maintenance plan – Your AirBNB rental is going to need upkeep, so layout a maintenance plan to ensure your home stays in good shape for both your investment needs and also for guests.

  • Make your home welcoming – Treat your guests with a lovely bowl of fruit, fresh flowers and a welcome book upon arrival, so they feel welcome and at ease.

  • Create a vacation home listing that pops – Your AirBNB listing is by far one of the more critical pieces in the puzzle, and you need to ensure you have listed the features and benefits of your vacation home and why people should choose your property over someone else’s. You also need to list on all the top sites (we include all our top 50 listing sites here.)

  • Lay out the rules and policies – While your guests are likely to be dream renters, you should lay out rules for pets, additional guests, smoking policies, parties, music, and trash collection.

  • Set up a rental rate table – Your rental rate calendar outlines the rates of your vacation home throughout the year including seasonal highs and lows and school holidays. You should keep this table available on your listing and update your availability calendars across all platforms.

  • Market and promote your property – Once you set up your listing the renters will need to be marketed to. The vacation home rental world is a competitive one and you’ll need to ensure you are properly promoting your listing to get the inquiries you’re searching for. Our top 50 listing sites is a great tool for getting a feel for the listing sites we suggest to boost your bookings and increase your chance of reaching your target audience of AirBNB home renters.
