First-Time STR Host – Would Love Feedback on My Airbnb & VRBO Listings

Hi BP community,

I’m a first-time short-term rental host and recently listed my property on both Airbnb and VRBO. I'm learning as I go and would truly appreciate your expert feedback to help me improve. I'm open to all suggestions on how to make the listing more appealing and boost bookings.

Thanks so much in advance for your time and help!

This looks so great and shows how important intentional design is in short-term rentals.

The layout looks super functional, open, and airy. It feels cohesive, like someone had a clear vision for how guests should feel and move through the space.

Lighting is another strong point. It makes the space feel welcoming and elevated.  It's funny how many people overlook bedside lighting. I am a big before bed reader, and find small lamps super important once I am there.

It shows how much design can impact the overall vibe and guest experience. The property makes you want to hang out, relax, and really enjoy being there. Definitely something more STR owners should prioritize.

I agree with @Trent Reeve about wanting more color or art on the walls but I can see how it might be difficult with the A frame slanted walls. I agree that a peel and stick wall paper, mural, or even a soft tapestry like art that can be secured at the bottom and top might help. I enjoy the pops of color but maybe adding in a pattern with color vs a solid could also help visually. Such a small critique as everything looks great!
