Lack of booking

Lack of booking

Hi I’m Jackie in Hollywood Florida.  I’m new just 1 month in.  Had a couple of mistakes in the beginning didn’t realize my property was live and I was still putting stuff together.   Didn’t know about you guys and there was a lot of bookings that I had to cancel.  Now that I’m up and running it’s like the booking stop.  Not sure if this is how to put my listing link so you all can critique it.   I’m not so good with computers I think that was 1 of they reason I didn’t get my calendars link and had to make a few cancellations.

If you are marketing to six guests, your photos only show 2 beds and your dining table is a small four person set up.  More guests doesn't generate a higher income from your rental if not a comfortable experience for maybe 6 adults for 7 days of vacationing.

If you are marketing to families  remember they know children under 2 don't count as a guest  . If they have 2 older children and 1 younger, they will look at 4 guests they don't want to pay for the infant.

Change your as to focus on that market.  You have some items highlight and maybe some kid dishes and a porto crib.

Parents= show fenced back yard laundry set up things they are interested in when traveling.  When we had rentals that took kids, simple things like putting a simple chain high on the door because 5 year old's can turn a door knob when mom goes the bathroom haha.  Prevents an unexcused exit by a child.

Why are you a good vacation rental for my family?  What can I visit?  Airbnb gives you about 5 pages to put information.  Your one line compared to others in the area doesn't encourage..

Hi Marie thanks for the tips there is 3 queen beds, 1 of the bed is a pull out sofa queen bed yes there is a fence all around the property, there's kids books, games, high chair, crib I will get the chain for the doors. Thanks again

I know the yard is fenced I read what I am suggesting is a cover photo of that might encourage more clicks.
