When selecting a couch for your vacation rental, be sure to select something that’s sturdy and can hold up to a lot of wear and tear. Opt for stain-resistant fabrics such as leather and microfiber. You may also choose to slipcover your sofa for easy cleaning!

It’s important that you keep your vacation rental property clean between guests. Create a checklist of everything that you need to do to clean after your guests leave, such as changing sheets, replacing and cleaning towels, cleaning the kitchen area, and more. Having a checklist will help you remember all the important things you need to do and will ensure that you don’t skip anything important.

Offer some high value deals for your guests to encourage bookings during the slow season. You can offer a deal with a percentage discount, such as 35% off bookings. You can also offer other types of deals, such as a fourth night free when guests book the first three nights. Deals such as these will attract guests during the low season and ensure that you keep getting new bookings!

Here’s our first tip for keeping guests in your vacation rental during an off-peak season. Lowering your price is important during the slow season, as potential guests don't expect to pay as much during off peak season. However, don't just arbitrarily lower your price - do your research. Check out rental listings similar to yours that have positive reviews and are booked during the off season and see what they are charging. You can also check out local hotels and see what their rates are during the off-peak season.
