National Vacation Rental Month: 5 Ways to Celebrate

We discovered 5 reasons why celebrating National Vacation Rental Month can be fun. Of course, in Florida, it doesn’t take much to get us excited about a wonderful vacation in the sun. But in truth, with sites like Airbnb, more and more people are getting interested in vacation rentals. And why not? With even a modest vacation rental property in Southwest Florida, you can earn annual revenue and be investing in your future. Of course, now that you know why you should celebrate this month, what can you do to celebrate it? Great question!

Research your local attractions

One way to celebrate National Vacation Rental Month is to get to know your own local area! If you decide that owning a vacation rental nearby is right for you, you’ll have a good lay of the land already. Especially today, properties that are well-positioned to everything from hip coffee bars to downtown nightlife and more can command higher rents. This is also a good way to appreciate your neck of the woods!

Explore a new region of the country

Still, many people own vacation rentals that might be far from their main residence. You probably don’t have to guess that Southwest Florida real estate is well-known for its vacation rental market. So, on that note, explore a new region of the country, or even the world. Find out what the vacation environment is like, what tourism looks like in that region, and what the benefits and challenges might be. You can do much of this right on your own computer!

Take a peek at available properties

Now that you’re starting to get more familiar with areas, I recommend celebrating National Vacation Rental Month by browsing properties. It might sound simple, but I love, love, love exploring homes that might be for sale. When I think about all the possibilities, from providing an incredible vacation experience to visitors, to updating the property for increased equity, I get pretty excited!

Plan a trip of your own

Of course, nothing beats celebrating National Vacation Rental Month like taking a vacation of your own! But don’t just hit the road. Instead, grab a notebook and pen for your trip. This way, you can keep track of where you stay, what you like about it, and most importantly, how you or the person managing your vacation rental might make a person’s trip to the same place even more memorable.

Speak with a vacation rental specialist

I might be a little biased, but this is one of my favorite ways to celebrate this month-long real estate holiday. Because the possibilities are endless, and there’s so much happening in vacation rentals right now, it can be a very exciting conversation indeed!
