5 Reasons To List Your Monthly Furnished Rental on Airbnb
As we all know, Airbnb is a popular platform for short term vacation rentals.
It is also quickly becoming one of the main ways that travellers search also for monthly and longer term fully furnished rentals!
In Greater Victoria there are over 3,000+ units listed on Airbnb so it’s one of the largest resources for rental searches.
Here are 5 Reasons why property owners should list their long-term rental on Airbnb to generate more rental income:
Increased visibility and bookings: By listing your vacation rental on Airbnb, you can tap into a large pool of travellers who are actively searching for places to stay. Airbnb has millions of users worldwide, and its platform is optimized for search engines, making it easier for potential guests to find your property.
Flexibility and control: As an Airbnb host, you have control over your property listing and can set your own rules and policies, including minimum stay requirements, check-in and check-out times, and pricing. You can also block off dates when you want to use the property yourself or if it's undergoing maintenance.
Increased revenue: Airbnb charges a service fee for each booking, but hosts can set their own nightly rates and keep 100% of the rental income. Depending on the location and demand, renting out your property on Airbnb can be more lucrative than traditional long-term rentals or leaving the property empty.
Trust and safety: Airbnb has implemented a number of safety measures to protect both hosts and guests, including ID verification, secure messaging, and a review system. Hosts can also require guests to provide a security deposit, and Airbnb offers a Host Guarantee program that provides up to $1 million in property damage protection.
Marketing and support: In addition to listing your property on its platform, Airbnb offers hosts a range of marketing tools and resources to help promote their listings and attract more bookings. Hosts also have access to 24/7 customer support for any questions or issues that may arise.
In conclusion, listing a vacation rental on Airbnb can offer a range of benefits for property owners, including increased visibility and bookings, flexibility and control, increased revenue, trust and safety, marketing and support, and customization and personalization. With its user-friendly platform and robust marketing tools, Airbnb can be a valuable resource for hosts looking to attract travellers and maximize their rental income.
