Earn revenue from your sparingly used vacation home. We can help.

When you own a vacation home, you come across lots of surprises, both good and bad. You're probably not visiting your villa as often as you thought you would. Second home buyers tend to overestimate the amount of time they'll spend at their homes.

Also, these homes, once a sign of prosperity, can become a little heavy on the budget. And long after the initial excitement ends, you still have to pay the mortgage, insurance premiums, property taxes and maintenance costs.

People who once used them solely for own enjoyment are now renting them out to subsidze expenses. With a little creativity, it’s possible for to squeeze extra cash from properties that will help offset some of the costs. We are The Weekend Plan (A Mafatlal Initiative) and we can help.

Being a host is a responsibility.

So please keep these tips in mind as you prepare for your guest.

Atithi Devo Bhavah

Ensure that you can commit before accepting a reservation. Consider your guest's feelings (and plans) before you cancel their accommodations.Timing is everything. If you must cancel, inform us about it as soon as possible.Tell guests what to expect when under your roof, let them know if they're required to remove their shoes before they step in, take out the trash, or jump on your trampoline.Guests may want to invite visitors over. If you have regulations about who enters your home and how long they can stay, share them in your House Rules.

Commitment

Atithi Devo Bhavah

Little amenities are a big deal when traveling. They offer guests comfort in unfamiliar places and save the day when someone has forgotten something. Guests expect the basics. Have clean towels and bed sheets, soap, toilet paper, and all of the amenities you outlined in your listing's description on hand.Consider keeping maybe a hand-wash, hairdryer, and an iron on hand. Leave an umbrella by the door in case the skies are grey.Guests love helpful maps, an adapter that's available to borrow, a sunscreen or bug spray if the elements call for it.

Amenities

Atithi Devo Bhavah

Give guests a reason to swoon from the moment they arrive. Ensure your property and common areas are cleaned pre-arrival. This includes changing linens and cleaning surfaces in the bathroom and kitchen.Pay attention to the nitty-gritty. Clean surfaces, wipe mirrors, empty wastebaskets, sanitize toilets, and keep your space dust-free.Showcase your space at its best. Charge a cleaning fee or hire a professional cleaning service to help keep your space spotless. Organize your space so guests can store their things.

Cleanliness

Atithi Devo Bhavah

Make sure that the property is available to guests at the predetermined check-in time. Share your list of favorite places or activities in the neighborhood.During reservations, assign someone to remedy any issues that may arise. It’s helpful to have a list of emergency phone numbers handy. Give them the digits for your local doctor.Problem solvers are super heroes! Guests who stayed with hosts who gracefully resolved an issue reported great experiences more frequently than those who never had an issue at all.
