With just over 20 years of booming industry, it’s safe to say that a standard for vacation rental quality has been established. A set of core amenities, a level of cleanliness and hospitality, and various other factors form your guests’ expectations. Generally, this set of standards is designed to please everyone. But what happens when you design a vacation rental to cater specifically to one demographic?
Any experienced short-term rental manager knows that cancelations can mean a lot more than losing a few days of revenue. A canceled booking means you have to make an effort to fill the rooms on short notice, often at cut rates. It also means you’ll have to contact housekeeping and other associated staff to let them know of the changes. A booking that’s made on a weekend or holiday could potentially ruin your chances of making a more desirable booking simply by blocking dates before being canceled.
As a business owner, you probably know how hard it is to get help with something you’re uncertain of without being bombarded by sales pitches. Content marketers have virtually monopolized any subjects you may consider informative or educative. This can be extremely frustrating when you’re just searching for some unbiased answers.
On September 24th, 2019, the Santa Monica City council enacted an ordinance to ban sort-term rentals. Just six days later, they voted unanimously to impose $1000 fines on vacation rentals who violate the ordinance. To tie it all off, the federal appeals court has upheld the ordinance – also voted in unanimously.
One of the best things about short-term rental schemes is that it allows blue collar people the chance to own and maintain a second property. Most people would never be able to justify taking a mortgage on another home or tying up their savings in real estate without a return expected. This leads to a lot of people searching for properties in their ideal vacation spots, often outside of their home countries.
