In this episode of The Hideaways Show Behind the Curtain, hosts Jordan Holmes and Mike Sebastian explore their adventures in the short-term rental market, focusing on how unique amenities can dramatically transform guest experiences and boost revenue.
They discuss the impact of installing a hot tub at their properties, leading to eye-popping increases in direct bookings and revenue, largely driven by successful social media promotion.
The episode also features a deep dive into two fascinating Airbnb listings—a remote fire tower in Idaho and a luxury lakeside house with a 75-foot water slide—analyzing their appeal from both a guest's and a host's perspective.
Alongside engaging banter, they share insights on operational challenges, including logistics and liability concerns, making it both an informative and captivating listen for anyone interested in the short-term rental industry.
