How can you use photographs to market your vacation rental home?

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

Photographs add instant appeal to properties. Most vacation home renters hesitate to inquire about property not marketed with photographs. Give your vacation rental a proper photo shoot and tempt prospective guests with flattering photographs.

  • Vacation rental photographs should include outside and inside views of your home.
  • Take photographs outside on a sunny day during different seasons. If you have a ski rental, be sure that your photographs include snow scenes.
  • For a warm and cozy interior look, light a fire in the fireplace; turn on lights and open curtains; place fresh flowers on tables or a bowl of fresh fruit on a kitchen counter.
  • Photograph views from the windows of living areas and from balconies or patios. If you have a beach rental, catch the surf rolling in on a sunny day when the beach is not crowded.
  • Include photographs of impressive décor such as a gourmet kitchen, master bath with garden tub/Jacuzzi or high-tech entertainment center.
  • Don't take pictures of people in your condo. Let renters imagine a home for themselves, not someone else.
