Help critiquing our direct-booking site. What updates should we make?

[Brian Kantor]

Hi, everyone. We've been reliant on Airbnb and VRBO for renting out our STR in Vermont ski country.

We've had success to date, but after listening to BP's Real Estate Rookie Podcast episode 680, the guest Mark Simpson discussed how owners are beholden to the whims of these platforms. As they change their pricing and algorithms, we simply need to "take what comes". In addition, negative reviews on these platforms from unruly guests can really screw things up for future bookings.

TLDR, he suggested creating a direct booking site, which we did. We have it linked to our OwnerRez property management software which also plugs into Airbnb and VRBO. Would love some feedback on what we've built and learn what some of you who have been successful in doing this already have on your sites that may be lacking in ours. 

If you have a moment, please take a look and provide any critiques you have. Thanks in advance!
