Creating an Effective Rental Ad

Creating an effective vacation rental ad may seem like a hefty task, but with the proper tools and knowledge, it's as easy as 1-2-3! Here are a few tips to ensure that you have the best looking, and most informative, vacation rental ad on the market.

 

 

Knowledge is POWER
Knowing your home, condo or timeshare inside and out is the first step to creating a great vacation rental ad. If your vacation rentals is part of a resort, visit the resort's website. On the website you'll be able to find photos, information about the room, amenities, local dining, entertainment, exciting activities, local attractions and more. Some resort websites will even offer a virtual tour of the resort and exciting features included. These websites are the best place to find everything you need to know about your vacation home, leaving nothing to question from potential renters.

Upload GREAT pictures
Include photos of living room, bedrooms, kitchen, jacuzzi/pool and anything else you'd like to show. You can also include an exterior photo of the resort so the renters have a good idea of the overall look of the resort. The more photos uploaded, the better. This will help potential renters see why they should rent your vacation home instead of staying elsewhere. .

TOOT your own horn
Have you remodeled recently? Has the resort undergone renovation? Is there a fantastic view, river, lake or restaurant nearby? Be sure to include all the things that you initially fell in love with. Chances are, others will share the appeal. Does your unit have an “iPod-compatible Stereo” or “Gourmet Coffee Maker”? If so, add it! These small features could be the deciding factor in getting your vacation home rented.

With these tips, you're now ready to create a highly effective vacation rental ad. Potential renters are looking for plenty of pictures and information about where they will be spending their getaway. Luckily, Vacations Only makes ad placement easy with everything you need to create your ad and rent your vacation home.
