When you’re renting out a holiday apartment, think about the type of experience you will be creating for prospective guests.
With scores of listings available for guests to browse online, it can be hard to ensure your property stands out from the crowd. Hosts that make the effort to highlight the features of their location are likely to gain more attention and interest than those who simply list the property details.
What Does Your Holiday Destination have to Offer?
If you know a location well, it can be easy to take it for granted that the public will know about the local attractions. However, many guests will likely be exploring your holiday destination for the first time, and they will appreciate some guidance on what to do and see while they visit.
Here are some details to include in your holiday apartment listing:
- Mention restaurants in the area, located near the rental property. Do they have a signature dish or specialise in local delicacies? Do they run special offers that will save your guests money? Picture yourself as a visitor to the town, and think about what you’d want to know about dining out.
- Suggest local shops that guests can visit to pick up self-catering supplies, or any bits and pieces they may have forgotten to bring from home.
- Include information on local festivals, markets and musical performances.
- List any outdoor activities available for adventurous types. Is the area known for excellent hiking or running trails and biking routes? Is there a river or lake nearby with a variety of watersports to enjoy? Make sure your guests know what’s available to them. Remember to mention whether they will be able to rent sports equipment, or if they should bring their own.
- Include a few popular local landmarks to visit, or places to pick up gifts and souvenirs.
