@Terrie9,
Let me share a tip with you about tagging a person's ID so they are aware that you're speaking with or mentioned them. Type @ and the most recent participants in the thread will appear.
If you don't see the ID of the person you want to tag continue typing their name/ID, (e.g., @Terrie will show all IDs that start with that name), and then select the person whom you wish to tag.
You know that you've properly tagged an ID that's when it is in red font and has a link to the user's profile.
Now, onto responding to your post. Our primary home still is Mableton, and I work remotely for a company with offices in Marietta and Alpharetta. We do spend the majority of the year in St. Lucia managing the guesthouse. Right before the pandemic we sectioned off the master bedroom in our Mableton house, and converted it into a one bedroom apartment. Initially, we did short stays, because we were onsite (St. Lucia had closed its borders), but just before we were returning to the island in August 2020 a guest contacted us about staying for a couple of months while they waited for limited flights to open up for their return to India. That's how we started with long-term stays, and now we only book short stays when we are onsite and it's for open days between long-term bookings.
This year, we decided to rent the main part of our hose, because we aren't there 3/4 of the year. We currently have guests who are contract nurses, and will stay for 90 days. We've not had any problems with leaving when as scheduled. I think the fact that the rental is our home plays a factor.
We do have Instant Book enabled, and require that guest must have a Government ID verification and good reviews. Typically, we have a 30 day minimum and 31 day maximum, because this requires guests to send booking requests for longer stays, and we want to have a conversation with guests before they book. One benefit of the rental being part of our home is that we can set a low maximum guest requirement and allow only older children. We allow only two persons to stay although each of our rentals has two bedrooms. This helps to lessen the amount of wear and tear on the furnishings.
I read your reviews, and kudos to you, because you're doing a fantastic job as a host. Since your property listed as a three bedroom that can accommodate six guests, you're marketing to families. It appears that your guests frequently are groups or families that are not looking to stay long-term. If you want to dip your toe into long-term rental, create another listing with a slightly different details and link the two listings. With this feature, if you get a booking on one listing, it will instantaneously blocks the dates on the linked calendar to avoid double bookings.
You will have to lower your daily rate to be competitive with other long-term Airbnb rentals in your area. Reduce the maximum number of guests from six to four, change the number of bedrooms from three to two. Since you're using the third bedroom as an office take another picture that has office furniture in the room and post it to highlight a home office. For the long-term rental you can accept either Booking Request or Instant Book (if you do, I recommend the following settings).
Note that long-term rentals have their own cancellation policy and payment policy.
