"Critique my listing" - Tia, Whidbey Island

Hi community friends, 

 

I want to increase my bookings. I just lowered the price today to see if that would help. I'm open to all suggestions and critiques. Please share your thoughts.

@Tia14307 Obviously you have a beautiful place. Your place looks very classy and

special, you know that, and you can do that all day long it is your natural essence.

But a million other homes look white, expensive and beautifully furnished.

 

I think a holiday is about the guests feeling special - what did you like or have you seen 

when you have been on holiday to make you feel relaxed and special

and If you walked into someone else's creation how could you feel at ease.

 

Your reviews are excellent, my only suggestions would be

To focus the 1st paragraph in your listing on selling the holiday dream

 

Sitting on a pirates cave

Stunning views whilst you roast your smores

about fishing, fishing trips, whale watching??

 

You are excellent at selling a space. Sell the dream that people

maybe spend all year saving up for.

 

My 2nd photo in my listing is a glass of beer on a table at sunset.

Add some homely touches to the photos; few welcoming cushions,

or basket of fruit, filled coffee cups, wine glasses, breakfast on a bed tray.

 

I also, like you, reduce the price right down until it is booked as I 

would prefer some money instead of no money.

 

These are only my suggestions and don't worry if they don't work for you.

You've got this.

 

Best wishes.

Your listing is absolutely beautiful.  Love the inside & outside space and all the special touches.  Your reviews are excellent, and you have a quite a few bookings.  I think your rates are in line with your offer.  I suggest that you add special discounts on a weekly basis for a your quiter periods and add various discounts for long stays.    I get good results.  I would also add new pictures on a regular basis.  Good luck!

I reviewed your listing, and wow what a great gem you have for guests. I started to look for things that could be an addition to yours. I think a hot tub would be great for the outdoor experience (I'm working on that for my listing as well) I loved what @Marie8425 had to say about the custom promotion tools that will be very for you. Its a win-win because the guests will have the lower price, let's say 20 percent discount and Airbnb will market your listing too! Not just having one guidebook but multiple guidebooks with the right keywords is something Im going to implement also as it will help attract more of your listing in the search engines. Thanks Marie on some great feedback to Tia's listing!
