Cory, you have a beautiful property. There is nothing significant that I can share regarding appearance. However, I do have a comment that might help you.
I'm retired after a full professional career. To help my comments make sense, I need to tell you I'm 80 years old. I have millions of miles with American and United airlines. One of my locations was 22 hours each way. And I remember thinking back on the front of my career that a great place to stay needed a USA Today newspaper and shampoo. That list grew substantially over my career. And what grew was my list of required amenities.
People that can afford to atay at your STR can afford to stay anywhere. So you have a lot of competition. And that competition has both great views and are well furnished. So put your thinking cap on and make a list of the total amenities you have, and talk them up. If you have a pool or hottub, you need to tell them a service will be there during their stay to remove the leaves and check the water quality. Give them a number to call if necessary. Provide them a list of the restaurants near them, their phone numbers and owners names. Be sure to tell the restaurant owners they can expect calls. Provide a closet that contains drinks and snacks that they can use while there. If your fees cover that expense, fine. If not, provide your Venmo number and prices. That's especially nice if the closest place to go buy those items is inconvenient.
You get what I'm suggesting. Make your place stand out beyond the pictures. Say the things that leave the parents knowing your place comes with more than the standard niceties.. You've thought of everything to make them think your place is the place to stay this vacation. And stop thinking your current price may be too high. Your reviews will begin to allow you to increase your prices.
Best wishes......Jim Damiani
