Hello,

 

We are new to hosting and have only just had our first booking booked.

Hi @Mel7093 

Your house looks really cute and welcoming. I'm sure it will be very popular being so close to the beach and pet-friendly.  We started out pet-friendly but changed soon after, we also asked guests to keep dogs off the couch and beds but they just don't and we always found at least one surprise left in the backyard! The extra cleaning just wasn't worth it for us and so we sadly said no pets.

 

I couldn't make out the living room set-up as some photos look like there could be 2 living areas but I think there is only one?  If so, I think you definitely need more couch space for the number of people you sleep.  

 

I like a floor plan in a listing but that's just me.

 

I also noticed a tiny typo in other things to note:

"We are pet-friendly accommodation with a kennel and fenced yard. Animals are to stay off beds and furniture. Please clean up after our pets forming your stay."

 

I have been hosting for only a few months so I am sure others with more experience will have great feedback for you.

 

Happy Hosting - Angie

Hi I have been hosting for 10yrs had over 2000 people stay. Your place looks ok but the cleaning fee caught my eye $200 so if you were paying a cleaner $50 an hour would it take them 4 hours to clean. Best incorporate the cleaning fee into the nightly rate.   I would definitely drop the pet friendly.  You will get bookings without doing this.  Do you know that people pay at the  minimum $85 to have a dog boarded.  Where I host lots of people only want 1 night have you considered this.  There was a bed up against a wall and it slept two people not good.  Like the others who have commented you need to be more generous with you furnishing. I could list a lot more but don't want to discourage you as you have started off very well. I am still learning you will to.
