While most people rent vacation homes in advance, some wait until the last minute.  You can position yourself to scoop up those travelers by making a few adjustments to your marketing and rental procedures.   Then, you will make more money, as you will be able to keep your calendar full throughout the year.

Is your vacation rental located near a golf course?  If so, you should make the most out of your location.  Include golf amenities in your home so renters will be more likely to stay with you.  By including certain amenities, you will be able to keep a full rental calendar.    

Televisions can make or break a vacation rental home.  While you might think renters are only interested in other amenities such as pools and hot tubs, they want to have access to televisions as well. By providing enough TVs in your vacation rental, your property will be more appealing to renters.
