A short-term vacation rental (STR) refers to a property rented out for 30 days or less, typically catering to tourists and vacationers seeking accommodations for weekend getaways or short vacations.

Short-term rentals can offer higher per-night rates compared to mid-term rentals, provide flexibility for property owners to use the property personally, and often result in reduced wear and tear due to shorter guest stays.

A vacation rental manager handles the day-to-day tasks of running and renting out your property, including maintenance, customer service, and optimizing listings on platforms like Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com.

Yes, by creating exceptional customer experiences, managing reviews, and assisting with interior design, a manager can boost ratings and increase bookings on short-term rental platforms.

A mid-term vacation rental (MTR) bridges the gap between short-term and long-term leases, offering stays ranging from 1 month to 1 year, often with a sweet spot of 3-6 months. This makes them ideal for individuals relocating for work, temporary assignments, or extended travel.

Mid-term rentals offer greater stability with potentially higher occupancy rates, attract professionals or students seeking temporary housing, and may be subject to fewer local regulations compared to short-term rentals.

The primary difference lies in the duration of stay: short-term rentals are for 30 days or less, while mid-term rentals range from 1 month to 1 year. Additionally, mid-term rentals often involve less frequent turnover and maintenance compared to short-term rentals.

Home staging consulting involves preparing a property to be more appealing to potential renters or buyers by enhancing its aesthetic appeal through design, furniture arrangement, and decor.

A designer can optimize the interior layout, furniture, and decor to create an inviting, functional, and aesthetically pleasing space that photographs well for online listings. Beautifully designed properties typically attract more bookings, command higher nightly rates, and receive better reviews.

Shoppable experiences allow guests to purchase items they use or admire during their stay, such as furniture, decor, or even locally sourced goods. By partnering with brands or curating shoppable decor, a property owner can earn additional income from commissions or direct sales.

Items like furniture, linens, kitchenware, local art, and consumable goods (e.g., locally roasted coffee or artisanal soaps) are ideal. Guests often want to recreate a piece of their vacation experience at home.
