With apps like Airbnb and VRBO, private homeowners on Mount Desert Island and around the Acadia Region can cater to guests in their own cozy homes while turning a profit. The trick, however, is how to entice travelers to book with you rather than the next rental? Or the local Inns? The aesthetics of your house is a big factor that travelers consider. That is why wonderful photos of your rental and other house amenities are necessary to attract bookings. But, of course, you cannot get wonderful photos if you don’t have a beautiful space to start with.
Tips to Remodel Airbnb Home to Increase Bookings
Pick a Theme Whether you opt for minimalism or contemporary designs, picking a theme will help narrow down your choices and help you decorate your home cohesively. Additionally, a theme can target a specific audience. For example, with folks who are visiting Acadia and Maine in general, you can get creative with forrest themes, marine themes, and more.
Transform Wasted Space
Utilizing your space is vital for the success of an Airbnb home. You do not need to always splurge for home changes. Small updates like adding a rug instead of carpeting the whole floor make a good start. But if you really want to "wow" guests while increasing revenue, transforming a wasted space in your home can vastly improve the guest experience and your bottom line.
Upgrade Your Appliances Appliances can be costly. However, they are also great investments, especially when you are in the tourism industry. Since your guests come from different parts of the globe, you are expected to be a welcoming and hospitable host. Upgrading your appliances will not only add comfort to their needs, but will also ensure high-quality performance that can withstand the ever-changing people who will use these devices during their respective stays.
Refine the Entryway The entryway plays a crucial role in attracting guests, and first impressions are everything for setting the tone. For you to receive rave reviews from travelers, you need to make them feel at home as much as you can. The entryway is the first thing guests see as they enter your house. Hence, you need to make a strong first impression. Whatever first impression your guests have as they enter your abode can affect their final evaluation of your home. So make sure to de-clutter the space and provide a clean and neat entryway.
Enhance the Bathroom The bathroom may not be a place where your guests will stay most of the time, but it still holds great value. After a day full of a busy schedule and long travels, some guests will retire in a tub of relaxing water and bubbles. Your bathroom aesthetics need to provide a soothing and calming atmosphere. The most important thing of all, however, is the cleanliness of the bathroom. Make sure that the bathroom is sparkly clean to convey how much you prioritize sanitation within your household.
Make the Bedroom Cozier You do not need to overhaul the bedroom to make it a cozy place to snooze. You can add several decorations such as plush pillows and soft rugs that evoke a refreshing feel. You may also add a diffuser with a nice essential oil to help your guests unwind and loosen up after a day of activities. Re-arranging your furniture to make the room more spacious and airy also does the trick. Remember, a cozy room means a happy guest.
Improve the Kitchen Most guests don’t even use the kitchen amenities since they prefer eating out to try local cuisines. However, providing a complete kitchen with the right appliances from a coffee maker to a microwave among others is still a must for every short term rental host. A complete kitchen allows your guests to feel more at home in your rental. This will help increase their comfort level and also increase your chances of getting great reviews for the complete amenities you provide.
Takeaway Being an STR (short term rental) host may be daunting for some. The entire process is trial and error. What works well for one host may not work well for the other. But if there’s one ingredient to a successful recipe, it is the guests’ satisfaction. Strive hard to keep these welcome strangers feel welcome by doing simple renovations and remodeling to your home. The "wow" factor goes a long way.
