Seven Essential Tips For Florida Vacation Villa Owners

As experienced Florida vacation villa owners, we have found the following tips will help your vacation rental business go a long way. Here are our seven top tips:

1. Advertise! Advertise with as many good rental websites as you can. Look at the websites and see if they solely focus on your location. We have had greater success with Florida only rental websites than the 'world wide' websites. Also, a good indication of the quality of the website is the current number of advertised villas. Generally, the more the better 100+, but bear in mind a website will a huge number of listings will increase the competition with your villa.

2. Off-peak bookings. Promote your villa with special offers during the off-peak season. There are many ways to do this, advertise discounts or promotions such as 'pay for 12 days and get 2 days free'. You can also offer incentives such as provide attraction tickets or offer inclusive car rentals, etc.

3. Write a creative advert. Spend time to write a lively and creative advert. This will produce much better results. Start with a catchy headline and make the description of your villa as appealing as possible. Emphasise your villa's features such as a games room, jacuzzi, pool, etc and highlight nearby attractions.

4. Immediately respond to inquiries. The quicker you respond to an enquiry, the more likely you are to secure that potential customer. Delays in responding will to an enquiry will mean the potential renter will look for and enquire into another villa. So always act quickly to secure a booking. Delays mean lost customers and lost bookings!

5. Online availability calendar. Make sure you keep your online availability calendar regularly updated. This will eliminate a lot of wasted time, as you will only be focusing on the potential renters who are looking to book during your available dates.

6. Stay price competitive. If your bookings are slow research other villas in your area and compare your prices to at least six other comparable villas. Then make sure your prices are in line and remain competitive with these comparable rentals.

7. Testimonials. Make sure you have a guestbook at your villas where renters can leave comments about their stay. Also, send each renter an email to ask about their stay and provide you with feedback. This not only provides testimonials but also helps you identify areas where you can improve your vacation rental. Then use the comments as testimonials on your marketing material. Testimonials are a very powerful tool to attract new renters.

As experienced vacation homeowners, we have used these methods to make our Florida vacation villas more successful by increasing enquires and obtaining those vital bookings.
