Airbnb vacancy (Tampa market)

[Matt Smith]

My airbnb has been performing really well since it launched in the beginning of June, with 90% occupancy for the months of June and July. I have it listed on airbnb and vrbo, and I've noticed most of my bookings have come inside of 30 days or less. I'm currently using price labs for dynamic pricing, and when I've had cancellations or vacancy, most times it would get booked by someone else. However this weekend has been the first time I've had a true vacany. (8/4-8/9 are vacant). Perhaps someone in the Tampa market can enlighten me on seasonality trends, and give advice on how to make sure I dont have vacancies. Thanks in advance. Below is a link to my airbnb.

Hey @Matt Smith, one empty period does not a trend make.

All you can do is what you can do. You will have vacancies. There is no way around it. If you are getting dozens of them then you need to look at your listing, but one is no big deal.

You are brand new and having it 90% full for your first 2 months is great. Most of the time the first year is lean.

Don't panic.
