First STR Listing; Looking For Feedback

[Jeffrey Page]

Hey Everyone,

I listed my first short term rental in beginning of this month. I’ve had one guest so far. I’m excited to get started and host more guests! All feedback (good, bad, or indifferent) is welcome and appreciated. Also, let me know if you have questions.

Thanks for your time!

Jeffery, "will you accept my first impression rose?" Looks great! Love the colors. You obviously thought carefully about details. Overall interior photos show off your place better than the outside. After reading your description, have questions and/or suggestions: 1) Use "Beds" not "Bed" in the title. If I'm looking for 2 couples we don't want to flip for the only king. Having two kings is very smart. 2) Describe what's on each level in your narrative. If you are scanning ads doing a quick look thru the pics your picture descriptions don't show. Baths up and down? All BRs up? Kitchen on lower level? Are there interior stairs? Second the prior poster who mentioned adding key bullets. The bath pics could be stronger. Can't see the floors.  3) Not clear how you access the back yard. Thru the French doors on the front? Needs a larger view of the back yard. Knowing it's a townhouse and neighbors are right next door, how private is it? There is a glimpse of a privacy fence in one pic. Is there a back door to that space? 4) You mention a "coffee bar". This sort of implies a separate one from the kitchen. Is there one? 5) Downstairs porch is plain. Needs a bench or small table and chairs for a place to plop groceries or bags. Would also be a rainy day outdoor spot. Second the idea above to add a little color with plants, house flag, house name sign, etc. 6) Move that grill from the porch corner. You don't want people grilling right next to your siding and folks on vacation may not bother to move it. Curious to place it there and not in the back yard by the picnic table? 7) That's a big expanse of bluestone in your main pic where most houses would have a front yard. Is that the most flattering angle? 8) You mention "marked parking spaces". Is that right by the house? If I had small kids I would wonder if the right hand neighbors have to drive by your side to get to theirs. 9) In your narrative it says "cubhouse" and a pic descriptions says "clubhouse"... OK I've put my fine tooth comb away. You're off to a great start and your first guests were happy! We used to camp at Deep Creek in the 60's. Don't think I would recognize the area now. Best wishes!
