Cute place! 

Title: do highlights instead of sentences. 
X mins to beach/coffee/free parking 

Whatever your highlights are. 

Photos: add captions to all of them. I would also like to see drone shots of your place in proximity to the beach. 

Interior: can you add a king to the bedroom? It might be tight, but it would help for sure. 
Also, get some stainless appliances in there. And a kitchen area that small you could spring for a cute backsplash for minimal costs. 

Happy hosting!

Quote from @Doug Quist:

I have a cabin that I've been STRing since the summer of 2016 and was just notified by the insurance company that they are getting out of my market due to concerns about fire. I'd LOVE to get referrals / recommendations of a new company / agent for my STR. Thanks!

Try proper?

I would do A, whichever one the property is permitted for 

B, whichever gives me the best return

You’re doing the right thing. Keep checking Airbnb and VRBO. Airdna may be helpful too

Bill Faeth just had a recent podcast about this. It’s worth a listen. 

As someone who is from southern Ohio, about 90 mins from Hocking, I think it’s a good market, for people who got in before the Airbnb gold rush. Right now though, the BIGGEST issue is, there is like zero inventory. Nada.

Avery Carl has a great book, Short Term Rental, Long Term Wealth. I’d start there

You could try Google or fb? Make sure you get the agent and that they know what they are doing

Not much help here, but love Michigan! Never been to the UP, but my family vacations in Harbor Springs typically.
