Happy *belated* #strsharesunday (#strsharemonday?)

Today we are sharing the Poffs !

This week is a little different than the others. We get a lot of questions on how to have multiple instagram accounts if you have multiple properties and/or your own instagram for yourself or another business. Take a look at what they've done! Danielle and Adam are AirBnb hosts and influencers, and they've done a really nice job on their page giving some love to their properties.

Here are their properties:

• @atown_aframe
• @camp_daybreak
• @mesa.modern

If you're wondering if you should create multiple instagrams for your properties, how you can keep up with that, take a look at their pages for inspiration and see how they're doing it and how they differentiate their properties.

As we head into the new year, you're planning your social media and marketing strategy, and we know how tricky it can be! But it CAN be done, so check them out for some inspo!

We would love to feature YOU, so don’t...

It’s time for #strsharesunday and today we are sharing Who You're With! Their tagline is, "the vacation rentals that remind you what matters most is who you're with," which is painted in their mural in their space and could not be more fitting for the holiday season.

We're starting to see more and more that people are really paying attention to amenities. This space has a peloton (perfect for people who are working and working out from home) which was highlighted in all of their reviews. They also cater to bachelorette parties and they have "makeup bars" in the home: multiple places to get ready for a night on the town! And if that wasn't enough, there are multiple "instagrammable" areas in the home with gorgeous murals, both inside and outside.

They know who their ideal client is and they've really nailed it! We love to see hosts stepping it up a notch. Give them a follow to get a taste of the great work they're doing! Well done!

It’s time for #strsharesunday and today we are sharing the Palo Verde House!

This 1961 MidMod home by architect Hugh Kaptur is located in Palm Springs. We love how much information they are able to convey just in the bio of their instagram account: they give you the cool background info on the space, they let you know that they provide short-term or long-term stays, and that their space is dog friendly! We're intrigued already!

This home has a gorgeous outdoor space, 3 king beds and 3 ensuite bathrooms ()! One thing to keep in mind is that when people are going on vacation, the want to either stay on the same level or upgrade. If someone has a king bed in their home and they're used to sleeping in a king, it's hard to go to a queen!

Psst... a good way to add additional income is to add a pet fee! People love their animals and want to travel with them. But the best thing about Palo Verde House is that they give back a portion of their pet fees to their local animal...

It’s time for #strsharesunday and today we are sharing Style House Vacation Rentals!

Their bio says, "We are just a couple who loves to travel and stay in nice places. We are dedicated to providing stylish homes for your vacation stays" and we LOVE this. We know exactly what we're getting when we stay with them, and we love how they have been able to tie in what they are passionate about.

This is still a relatively new rental, so if you have yet to start up your STR, or if you're still in the preliminary stages and you're looking for some inspo going into the new year, check out their space. We love how they just dove right into hosting and how they share their story on instagram as they rehab their home.

Biggest takeaways? Share your story. Share your space. Share your why.... and watch the bookings come in.

We'd love to escape the winter blues and head to Florida to stay with you!

It's time for #STRsharesunday and this week we are sharing the JB Beach House!

We LOVE a good back story and we love when hosts share the history behind their rentals. Ashley's origin story is full of heart-warming nostalgia and she's bringing memories of her grandmother's vacation home to their guests as they create their own memories!

Ashley is primed and ready to welcome her guests to her favorite spot, and she also rents her space out for content creators (think video filming or photography) as well as short-term rental guests.

Next time you're in Galveston, book Ashley's gorgeous space!

It’s time for #strsharesunday and today we are sharing Black Barn Ranch! This beautiful space is located in San Luis Obispo, CA and hosted by Sean and Lindsey. 

This "barndominium" is on their 2.5 acre property and it is SO gorgeous. Located on the second floor of their barn, this space has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and also has a kitchen, living room, dining space, and even has a deck for you to watch the sunrise and sunset!   

Sean and Lindsey have really upleveled the experience, there's plenty of indoor and outdoor activities, it's kid friendly (and they include some kid-friendly tips!) the design is impeccable, and they've done an amazing job making their space inviting!  

Check out Lindsey's personal IG account @thepleatedpoppy! We love when our hosts use their personal accounts to promote their rentals.

It’s time for #strsharesunday and today we are sharing the Zin Retreat!

This private guest house is hosted by Adri and located in Lodi, California, and she does a great job at highlighting her private, fenced-in courtyard for her guests to enjoy.

If you've been hosting for awhile and you've had some financial success, maybe it's time to upgrade! Adri has both a Keurig and a French Press, and giving your guests options and broadening your horizons will improve your guests' experience!

We love the wallpaper work she's done in the bathroom, and on her instagram, she links to her local tourism website and some really specific blogs for things to do in the area.

PRO TIP: Utilize your local tourism website so your guests can learn more about the area and partake in some of the local activities! Well done, Adri!

It’s time for #strsharesunday and today we are sharing Cozy Escapes!

This rental is located in Shenandoah, Virginia, and completely took our breath away. The imagery that they feature on their instagram account is absolutely unreal and makes you want to immediately pack up and visit.

They let you know that it's a family friendly place, but they also let you know what you might want to bring that you might forget that might enhance your stay. They have done a wonderful job in their listing letting people know exactly just how far off the beaten path their rental is, including details about the gravel road and what vehicles may or may not be a good idea to travel it with.

This serves as a great reminder that even if something is second nature to you, it may not be to everyone else, and it's always better to include these kinds of details in your listing.

Rachel and John have done an excellent job with their listing, so well done! Be sure to give them some love on their...

It’s time for #strsharesunday and today we are sharing WanderChatt!

We are so lucky to have been able to experience these container homes on the side of Lookout Mountain in Georgia. It was INCREDIBLE.

Michael is one of our Hosting Business Mastery members, and we had him on the show in episode 124.

The photos on their instagram do NOT do it justice. When you look at their listings, they've really woven together an amazing location and the experience of the actual containers. Each container has a different layout and amenities. There is so much attention to detail in all aspects of the property.

They actually opened up during the pandemic, and they have given their guests this incredible refuge. There is no wifi or TV, so the goal is to really enjoy the breathtaking views. No matter the time of day (sunrise, sunset, during the day), the views are absolutely incredible. These spaces are small but mighty and they give such an amazing guest experience.

Bonus: the containers,...

It’s time for #strsharesunday and today we are sharing Mountain Lake Bungalow!

This beautiful bungalow is located in the Catskills and hosted by Melinda and Matilda. They do an amazing job highlighting their outdoor spaces in their listing, and this place is all about the outdoors with truly wonderful views. But their indoor design is impeccable too! The decor is inspired by their native country, Sweden.

We are heading into the fall and winter, with so many still working from home, Melinda and Matilda let you know that their space is WFH-friendly, even going so far as to list their wifi speed. There are desks in each of the bedrooms (one has an amazing view)! They also have an adjustable desk for those who like to stand while working, and a printer!

If you have a little extra room in your budget, making your space WFH-friendly (or homeschool friendly) is a great way to encourage people to come stay with you!
