How to kick-start the success and save unnecessary hassle with your new listing: . 1) Great quality photos - Use a professional photographer or do it yourself but ensure your property is clean, staged and well lit. Daytime landscape orientation photos are best. . 2) Sync your calendars - If you are listing on multiple travel channels use their calendar syncing features to ensure you don't end up becoming double booked! ... . 3) Remember to add extra fees - What will it cost to have your property cleaned? What is necessary for a deposit to cover any damage expenses? Add those in your listing from the beginning so you don't have to track them down separately from guests. . 4) Do some market research - What are similar properties in your neighborhood and community renting out for? Pretend you are a guest and take a look at their listings and what stands out or deters you. How can you set yourself apart? For example, is the competition not offering pet friendly accommodations but you are comfortable adding that feature? . 5) Description - Not enough information and guests will not feel comfortable booking or you will spend too much time answering questions. Too much information and its overwhelming. Use easy to read bullet points that describe layout, amenities, and what makes your listing special. Be sure to include any restrictions or special rules so guests are aware prior to booking. . . . . . . . . #barrie #muskoka #georgianbay #horseshoevalley #bluemountains #airbnb #propertymanagement #hostondemand #airbnbmanagement #superhost #airbnbsuperhost #airbnblife #airbnbbarrie #airbnbontario #lakesimcoe #ontariovacationrental #str #shorttermrental #luxuryrental #airbnbtips #airbnbhosts #airbnbpartner #shorttermrentalhacks #vrbolife #vrbohost #barrierealestate #muskokarealestate #lakesimcoeairbnb #muskokairbnb #yorkregion See more

Happy Friday Everyone! It's Lacey, the founder of Host on Demand. I thought I would slide into your feed so you could get to know me a little bit before you're completley distracted by all the weekend things. . Other than being extremely passionate about the short term rental hosting business I thought we could get a little personal (since its Friday after all), so here are some random facts about moi. . 1) My passion for hosting and serving others so they have the the absolu...te best time first started in my home and kitchen as I have always loved hosting dinner parties, events and cooking because well... food, and wine . Ask anyone that knows me, I take that sh*t seriously. . 2) My best friend happens to be a furry 10 year old Boston Terrier/French Bulldog rescue named Blake. He hates swimming but loves cheese, lettuce and hiking.. and I'm pretty sure he's going to live forever. . 3) I need to live by water. Whether it be a beautiful Ontario lake or the warm ocean, it's a non negotiable for me. . 4) I love love love the woo, as in astrology, energy healing work and everything in between. . 5) My favourite food would probably be Mexican or seafood. I am a big fan of both. . Let me know what you think. Do we have anything in common? Want to eat raw oysters with me? . Have a great weekend everyone! Looking forward to getting to know you. . . . . . . . . #barrie #muskoka #georgianbay #horseshoevalley #bluemountains #airbnb #propertymanagement #hostondemand #airbnbmanagement #superhost #airbnbsuperhost #airbnblife #airbnbbarrie #airbnbontario #lakesimcoe #ontariovacationrental #str #shorttermrental #luxuryrental #airbnbtips #airbnbhosts #airbnbpartner #shorttermrentalhacks #vrbolife #vrbohost #barrierealestate #muskokarealestate #lakesimcoeairbnb #muskokairbnb #yorkregion See more

What can make or break your guest's stay even if the host has every other detail right? . You guessed it! Cleanliness! . Finding a mess, dirt or something that hasn't been cleaned is like a bad first impression to your guest that cannot be forgotten.... . Have you ever stayed somewhere and found something that had not been cleaned and then your mind will race to think, "well if this hasn't been cleaned.... what other things in here haven't as well?!" Ewwwww... gross. . Make the best first impression with your guests with a high standard level of clean and if that isn't something you're capable of (because not all of us love cleaning) then its best to leave to the professionals. The extra spend is worth your guest satisfaction and property listing's reputation! . . . . . . . . . #barrie #muskoka #georgianbay #horseshoevalley #bluemountains #airbnb #propertymanagement #hostondemand #airbnbmanagement #superhost #airbnbsuperhost #airbnblife #airbnbbarrie #airbnbontario #lakesimcoe #ontariovacationrental #str #shorttermrental #luxuryrental #airbnbtips #airbnbhosts #airbnbpartner #shorttermrentalhacks #vrbolife #vrbohost #barrierealestate #muskokarealestate #lakesimcoeairbnb #muskokairbnb #yorkregion See more

Why Short Term Rental over Long Term Rental for your Vacation or Second Home ~Flexibility and Revenue~ . 1) Increased ability to view and inspect your property: It can be difficult to gain legal access to your property with long term renters in place to verify the condition is being kept, that damage isnt occurring or there has not been unauthorized modifications.With a short term rental, the home is being inspected and fully cleaned after each checkout leaving you with peace... of mind. . 2) Personal use of your property throughout the year: You may want to enjoy your property at different points throughout the year, special occasions or seasons which is why you may have built or bought it in the first place. With a short term rental it's easy to block off your calendar for personal use or maintenance and renovations. . 3) More revenue potential: With a long term lease you are locked in for the duration of the year at one fixed rate but with a short term rental you can take advantage of high or busy seasons and special events in the area to increase revenue. Bookings are paid for in advance with no need to worry about acquiring outstanding rent. . More info?

How to win your guests over one perfect sleep at time: . 1) Most hosts don't realize the color of the linens matter but it is actually VERY important. White is best. Think of hotels who mainly use white sheets. This is for a couple of reasons. White can be easily bleached and also is easily verified by guests that it is freshly laundered and clean! . 2) When choosing material. High quality cotton linens are best. Cotton stands up to bleaching much better than microfiber. It ...also feels to the touch the more substantial and luxurious in terms of quality. Microfiber may seem soft at first but it doesn't stand up to bleach, rips easily, has tendency to pile and because it is made from polyester or other synthetic fabrics has a tendency to retain heat and moisture. . 3) 360 degree coverage pillow and mattress protectors that can easily be washed or replaced will keep your mattress and pillows staying new longer and keep the bed hygienic for your guests. . . . . . . . . #barrie #muskoka #simcoecounty #georgianbay #horseshoevalley #bluemountains #airbnb #propertymanagement #hostondemand #airbnbmanagement #superhost #airbnbsuperhost #airbnblife #airbnbbarrie #airbnbontario #lakesimcoe #ontariovacationrental #str #shorttermrental #luxuryrental #airbnbtips #airbnbhosts #airbnb partner #shorttermrentalhacks #vrbolife #vrbohost See more
