Hello @Jamie-and-Jennifer0
Congratulations on your Superhost Status
We are Superhosts ad well with listings on the Outer Banks NC. Kill Devil Hills.
I understand the challenge of off season bookings.
There are many unknown factors that can impact your off-season bookings.
Pet Friendly
Fenced yard
Amenities ( AIRBNB provides a great amenities list suggestions for hosts)
Minimum age limit
Booking window, how far out can guests book your property. I'd suggest at least 9 months.
Offer discounts for early booking or last minute booking.
Exposure of your listing is CRITICAL!
We started with VRBO and did well. Then put our listing on AIRBNB as well and improved our performance tremendously.
I strongly suggest reaching out to your 5 star guests and offer discount rated, knowing they take care of your property.
As Superhosts we listed 1 property on Evolve with the intent to increase off season bookings.
The good we found with Evolve, they use professional photographers and handle all the introduction and description of your property .
Evolve promotes and exposes your property on a lot of platforms like Expedia, Booking,com VRBO, AIRBNB and more.
They have analysts that uses algorithms for dynamic pricing which moves by demand, you can set the minimum rates.
When you need to contact the Owner Success team, you'll speak to a U.S. based member.
The other platforms are global support, Phillipines, Egypt, India and can be somewhat difficult to understand.
Now, what we don't like about Evolve, they include cleaning and pets fees as a part of their percentage, which we protest vehemently with them.
The minimum rate is annual. We prefer to have different minimum rates according to seasonal demand. Something they need to work on.
We're ready to kick of our second property with Evolve now, the good certainly outweighs the not so good by far.
We sincerely hope this advice improves your off season booking performance.
Give Evolve a try for a year. If you don't realize a substantial improvement I'm performance, you can always remove your listing without penalty.
