Hey everyone, one of my STRs located in Florida has been receiving a huge increase in attention, inquiries and bookings. I'm wondering if my fellow Floridian STR owners have seen the same. The inquiries mostly break down into two groups..

1) People looking to book for parties. They're either upfront and honest about it (respect), or somewhat vague and elusive. Since I don't use "auto book" I can ask for more information when needed. I don't allow parties at my property unless it's a family type of gathering spanning multiple generations etc.. 

2) Friends who live in different cities looking to vacation together and don't want a hotel. 

I use a professional cleaning service and made it a point to advertise such in my listings. My goal for the properties is to make the guests feel like they're the first people to ever book the property. 

For the STR owners still on lock-down : I have faith that when your lockdowns are lifted you will see bookings come roaring back!
