Hi @Monica3203 

That's a big place!

A couple of observations for you:

1. The Description is very light on information about the place 2 lines), the location, the environment and the special features that your place offers.

Use opportunity to write a story about your place and why people would want to stay there.

2. The list of amenities that you have provided are very few.. (8 only) I suspect that your place has many more features than that.. go through the list provide and select ALL of those on offer... (40+) eg coffee making?....

3. You have only 5 photographs.... you are able to have 30+. Take shots of everything.. in the house (ie every room), around the yard, around the neighborhood. This is your chance to "market" what you have.

4. You need to "talk up" why anyone would want to come to your location and in particular your place. What is around the site that would attract people to come.

5. Given the size, you need to define your target audience... is it families? If so, then #1-3 above need to pitch to that audience.

Best wishes,

Regards, Graham
