Marriott Vacation Club Listing

[Nancy1822]

We are new to hosting on Airbnb. We are Mariott Vacation Club (MVC) owners and recently rented our unit, but still have a few questions.

We booked our unit from 1/8-1/15, and then rented it out on Airbnb for 7 nights, with min 4 night stay. Someone booked for 4 nights. We then listed the remaining 3 nights, with 1 night minimum and someone booked one night. So, we called Summit Watch and added the individuals to our reservation, once checking in on 1/8, out on 1/9 and one checking in on 1/11, out on 1/15. We also scheduled housekeeping to come in between the 2 bookings. We did not get a separate reservation confirmation from the hotel for each booking. We also did not work things through MVC and worked directly with the hotel. I’m wondering from other MVC owners, is there a better way to do this?

Hi @Nancy1822!

Did you manage to find an answer to this elsewhere?

I don't think we've got much representation here on the Community Center from Marriott Vacation Club listings, so I'm curious to know more about it!

Feel free to pop back and let us know how it works.

Hi @Nancy1822 , we too are MVC owners.  This is our first time posting a property on Airbnb.  We have successfully used Redweek last year for an Aruba property and have two properties currently listed on Redweek and VRBO.

Do you intend to rent more properties in the future? Would you be interested in developing a relationship to share what we are learning as owners renting MVC properties?

I am currently tracking information about which platform works best for us, how much in advance does a property rent, which properties rent best etc.  We’ve just started so I am in the data collection stage at this point but happy to share what I learn as we go.

Hi Aldo, 

Have you had success with using MVC on Airbnb?  We've been dead in the water b/c of the requirements of videos on site of the specific rooms.  Maybe the people that have been listing were grandfathered in before those requirements?  Would love to share our experiences...  RedWeek easiest so far, but expensive.  Cheers.

Hi @Erin7801 , I just started out listing my MVC through Airbnb. I created my first listing a couple days ago. I did not have a video requirement, only photos.

Hello @Jingo0 , I am in the same boat as you or at least as you were.  I just started to list on Airbnb with my Vacation Club points. If you would be able to connect briefly, I'd sure appreciate that.

Thanks!

Hi Kathleen,

I'm reading about Marriott Vacation Club rentals because we just started to do this on Vacation Candy and Koala. Before I jump onto Airbnb, VBRO or others would you mind sharing your experience and thoughts? 

We just started so I have no experience yet, other than I found registration with Vacation Candy and Koala to be simple. 

Thank you,

Christina

Hi Christina,  I saw your thread from last year and have similar questions . We are MVC owners and have been dead in the water getting Airbnb to work.  Requests for videos of specific rooms is not feasible!  Have you figured out a work around?  Would love to share experiences.  Did your sales succeed at Vacation Candy and Koala?  RedWeek is easy, but pricey.  Would love to connect.  Cheers!  Erin
