Great design can make or break your Airbnb’s success!
Investing in high-quality furnishings and professional interior design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about maximizing your ROI!
How much should you estimate for Design and Furnishing cost?
➡️ It’s market specific and depends on the type of traveler you’re trying to attract to your property.
💲How much you spend on designing a space for families traveling to coastal areas or theme parks will be different than the amount you spend on a property in downtown Nashville where your strategy is to attract bachelorette parties.
💲A good rule of thumb: estimate $5,000 per bedroom and $6,000 per living space.
💥Tip: If you’re designing a home in Kissimmee or Davenport near Disney (traveler = families), budget about 20% more.
Why?
Because to stand out, you’ll want to go all out in theming the kids’ rooms, pool area, and game room/loft area.
Many investors overlook the importance of spending time and money upfront on design, but a well-designed space attracts more bookings, better reviews, and higher rates.
Your investment in design today will pay off in guest satisfaction and profits tomorrow!

Is a fully booked Airbnb really maximizing revenue, or could it be leaving money on the table?
Things To Consider and Why we focus on optimizing our rates while maintaining a 60-70% occupancy at all of our properties:
❌Priced Too Low: If you’re always booked, your rates might be too low, leaving money on the table. We’re trying to maximize revenue, not occupancy.
❌Increased Risk & Wear and Tear: More guests and turnover mean more wear and tear, higher risk for damages and less time for necessary maintenance.
✅Guest Experience: Maintaining a moderate occupancy rate allows us to focus on providing a better guest experience.
✅It ensures there’s enough time for thorough cleaning, maintenance, and personalized guest services.
Know your numbers (occupancy, nightly rates, market rates, cost, revenue), test different pricing strategies and find that perfect balance between high earnings and efficient management. 📈🔧

⭐️ Save this post for designing an Airbnb that gets booked!!
Tip 1:
Study the top performing comps in your market and the immediate area to get an idea of what they’re doing that stands out!
Tip 2:
Do not design an Airbnb like it’s your home. You need to get creative and take some risks.
if you’re going after vacation travelers, you need to be focused on creating an experience for guests that’s unique and different than what they’re used to experiencing in their day to day lives.
Tip 3:
Ensure you have the furniture that can accommodate the amount of guests your property can hold
Example: In a 5+ bedroom home that can fit 12+ people, making sure you provide enough seating in your dining area for large groups to gather together!

So many Airbnb operators forget about the basics when it comes to running a successful Airbnb….
Communication with your Airbnb guests is going to get you those 5 star reviews which is key to your Airbnb business.
We won’t get it right every time because 💩happens in this business, but empathizing with guests and communicating will set you apart from an average Airbnb operator.
If you’re starting to fall behind with guest communication because you simply don’t have the bandwidth….it might be time to hire someone like us to do it for you ✅

🥴Not getting enough bookings? Here are 2 easy ways to diagnose and improve your Airbnb listing:
1️⃣ **Review Your Ratings**:
Is your listing rated below 4.9? Low ratings can bury your listing in search results. Dive into your reviews to identify common complaints—whether it’s cleanliness, communication, lack of supplies/toiletries, or missing amenities—and make necessary improvements. Use guest feedback to elevate the experience you offer.
2️⃣ **Photos & Copy**:
Are your listing photos and descriptions captivating?
To understand what “captivating” means more objectively, you need to understand your conversion metrics. Are guests clicking into your listing? How many guests click into it and then book? You can use Airbnb insights or third-party tools like Intellihost to review impressions, click rates, and conversion rates.
High-quality, professional photos are essential. Your description should be detailed and engaging, highlighting key amenities, stunning views, and unique features. Great marketing will stop potential guests from scrolling and convince them to book your place.
If you want to succeed in the short-term rental space, treat it like a business and use metrics to understand where there are gaps.
Take a step back, be honest with yourself and review these elements to get your listing back on track! 💡🏡
