Hi @Ahdy2
What a place with a fantastic location.
Here are a few things to consider.
Airbnb’s search algorithm favors places it expects to be easiest to rent out among the 300 listings it chooses to show for any given search.
To get a higher ranking with a new listing, where you don’t have status as a guest favorite, super host, or have many good reviews, you need to compete on price. Set the price low in the beginning until the aforementioned things are in place. After that, you can start to raise the price.
It might also be a good idea to take advantage of Airbnb’s promotions under “Pricing” with a 20% discount for the first 3 guests. This will also boost your ranking.
You have a huge advantage with the house’s fine location by the beach. Make sure to show this in your cover photo and among the first 5 pictures in your image list, which are the ones Airbnb shows at the top when someone clicks on your listing.
If you are not already categorized under “Beach front” and “Amazing views”, then get it documented with photos and contact Airbnb by phone and ask them to help with this. If not, you will be excluded if potential guest clicks the category, and that’s very misleading of course.
In terms of photos in general, there might also be an opportunity to optimize a bit here. The place, both indoors and outdoors, is fundamentally fantastic, but I think you could make it a bit more inviting with some elements that create warmth and coziness. If you’re serious about renting, it would be a good investment to ally yourself with a professional photographer and possibly a decorator, who could arrange and take pictures on a beautiful sunny day that matches your competitors in the area. - Just an idea.
With this place, you should be able to make a fantastic business and delight many Airbnb guests with a fantastic holiday.
Good luck with everything.
Best regards
Karen
