Guide to Vacation Property Listings News and Trends
Keeping informed on the vacation rental home industry
By Trisha Schulz
Technology has led to an increase in global competition in the vacation homes market, with vacationers accessing millions of listings. The travelers who benefit the most are those that have all of the information at their fingertips and are able able to quickly and easily compare competitors' prices.
To deal with the increased competition, you'll want to stay ahead of the game by keeping up on vacation property listings news and trends. Consider the following trends:
1. Some cottage rental managers started what are called "unbundled services," which keep their prices competitive but don't include housekeeping and other services ordinarily folded into packages.
2. Because of the slow real estate sales market, the number of Florida vacation homes available for rental has increased. And with that increase in inventory, rental prices have dropped to remain competitive.
3. Trends also indicate shorter rental times. A certain Hawaii vacation rental may be booked for a week instead of months at a time.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Access news about vacation property listings through the web
The easiest and fastest way to stay informed on trends and news involving the vacation property industry and investments is to bookmark and regularly visit websites related to the field. Vacation property listings news and trends information can be updated on an ongoing basis, keeping you abreast of all the latest changes.
I recommend: Scan headlines and read recent news postings via LiveRez.com and DestinationVillas.
Read more about trends in vacation rental properties through blogs
Although blogs are more opinion-based in nature, there are many related to the vacation property rental trade that can relay news and trends. Find a good one written by a professional or backed by a solid organization.
I recommend: Get updated news and trends from those working in the vacation rental field from Escapia and Vacation Rentals Club.
See what vacationers have to say by logging on to beach vacation rental forums
Issues and concerns from travelers take a front seat on vacation property web forums that can indicate trends in the industry. Many forums also give property managers a chance to network and ask questions among themselves.
I recommend: A general news and trends forum can be found at Vacation Rentals Community. Read what both users and property owners have to say about vacation rentals in Galveston, TX, on the Selling Galveston Forum.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- • When it comes to rentals of a luxury vacation home, trends indicate that success is all about location. Some advisers recommend markets in Florida such as Cape Coral, Daytona, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. But using the right marketing techniques in any location can increase the chance of success in vacation rentals.

Search for vacation property listings in locations all over the world and with activities to suit every taste, from a sunny beach vacation rental to a woodsy vacation cabin rental.
Before selecting a vacation rental home, evaluate the following:
1. What destination locations do you prefer? Do you long for a Hawaii vacation rental or prefer a vacation cabin rental in the mountains?
2. What type of vacation homes best suit your needs? Do you need a large vacation rental home to accommodate a family or a small beach cottage for an intimate retreat?
3. How much would you like to pay for a vacation rental property? Do you prefer discount vacation property or a luxury vacation home?
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Search for vacation property listings in locations that meet your geographic preferences
Vacation rental properties are available all over the world. For relaxing vacation beach homes, consider tropical Florida vacation homes or select a popular California vacation rental or exotic Hawaii vacation rental. For an adventure-based vacation, choose vacation rental properties near rafting, horseback riding or hiking attractions.
I recommend: Search for vacation properties by theme, including beach, ski, golf or lake, at HomeAway. Find vacation rentals in the United States, Mexico, Caribbean, Central America, South Pacific, South America, Africa and Asia at VacationRentals.com. Purchase or rent vacation homes in the United States, Europe, Caribbean and Asia at eProperties.
Find a vacation rental home that best accommodates you and your travel companions
Vacation property listings are available for groups of all sizes, from singles and couples to large family reunions. Search for homes with the desired number of bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate your party. Consider desirable amenities like swimming pools and recreational activities.
I recommend: Search for vacation homes by number of bedrooms and bathrooms and how many the property sleeps at A1Vacations. Select a beach vacation rental in Gulf Shores, Alabama with specific amenities, like pool, washer/dryer and laundry room at Anchor Vacation Rentals. Find a vacation cabin rental that will accommodate your travel party at Cabins.com.
Select a vacation rental home in your price range
Vacation property listings are available in all price ranges. The cost of vacation rental properties varies based on the vacation rental home's location, size and amenities, as well as your length of stay. Before securing a vacation rental, find out exactly what is included in the rental price and ask about hidden charges like taxes and service fees.
I recommend: Search for vacation ski rentals in Canada by maximum rate per night at AlluraDirect.com. Find Outer Banks vacation beach homes in your weekly price range at Beach Realty & Construction. Browse vacation property listings in your price range at 1st Choice Vacation Rentals.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- • Before booking your vacation travel home, request a vacation rental guarantee. A vacation rental guarantee provides protection by guaranteeing a percentage of a traveler's payment in the event the vacation property listing is unsatisfactory or not legitimate.

Guide to Vacation Property Listings Advice and Ratings
Add your vacation rental to the best listing services out there
By Andrea Townsley
These listings should include a few things about your vacation rental properties. They should always begin with a flattering description of the property. You can also create your own website to tout your vacation homes, as most listing services offer links back to your own site. When listing your vacation rental home, consider the following:
1. Talk with others in the business. Owners of vacations homes can offer a wealth of advice about listing services.
2. Get your vacation property listings to the top of search engine results. Make this happen by putting ads on the best listing sites.
3. Ensure that local vacation rental agents know about your property. Getting on their listings can help you immensely.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Start by reading online advice about vacation rental properties
The best way to get real-world vacation rental property advice is to seek out others who own vacation rentals. The Internet is home to multiple forums, blogs and articles written by experts, and interacting with these folks can really benefit you. You'll have access to ratings and reviews from these experienced owners and many of them are happy to answer questions you have.
I recommend: Peruse the forums and blogs at Vacation Rentals Community. Read through the expert articles about marketing your vacation home at EscapeHomes.
Get your vacation homes to the top of the Internet search results
If you want your property's website to be among the first listed on search engine results, you'll have to get your site listed by all the major vacation property listings services. The more sites that link to you, the higher you'll be on search rankings scales and the more eyes are likely to see your listing. Start by adding your listing to every free site that you can, then choose a couple of quality paid sites on which to place some more ads.
I recommend: Consider listing your property on Vacation Rentals Web Directory, which can increase your search engine visibility and display your ad on multiple sites. Owner Holiday Rentals has reviews of a multitude of listing sites and provides ratings for them based on Google PageRank. WebWorkshop has a great explanation of Google's ranking system if you're not quite sure how it works. NuWire, an investment website, has some reviews each of the largest vacation rental sites for you to consider.
Network with local vacation rental gurus
In addition to listing your property on the Internet, you should also list it with a real estate agent in the area. For example, if your property is a beach vacation rental in a touristy area, you can seek out one (or a few) agents who can add your property to their vacation listings. Real estate agencies and management firms in popular vacation areas often have at least one or two agents dedicated to helping tourists find vacation homes, so this can be a great advantage for you.
I recommend: Find a manager in your area using the search function at Vacation Rental Managers Association, which also provides some good information for first-time vacation property owners. You can also search using the Institute of Real Estate Management to find Realtors who are trained in marketing rentals.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- • Vacation property listings advice and ratings experts will tell you that adding pictures of unique features of your vacation cabin rental will attract quite a few renters. This is especially true if your home has a great view.
