Hi! @Chloe79 It is a ton of work. If you reserve say Feb 14,15 and then nobody wants it, you’re stuck.
I ended up listing on Craig’s list and found a buyer but it was stressful.
The check in at the resort has always gone smooth. I just add the guest name and they check in with a ID and credit card at the desk. The resort doesn’t charge a cleaning fee for the maid service so there’s potential to make a couple of extra bucks off a cleaning fee.
Currently I don’t have mine active because like I stated, it’s a ton of work with the back and forth. Enough people know I have the place that they just DM me for dates of availability now.
When it comes time to pay the dues, I’ll make it active again.
Another point is as a new listing, they want you to have instant book on. That’s almost impossible, so your listing never gets seen.
If you have entitlement you want to sell and you’re will to spend time doing it, I say “go for it”.
On the level of “hustle’, it equals basically doing community service. There’s no big money in it.
If you break even, you’re doing good.
Good Luck!
