Please review my listing!
We rent a four-bedroom house in Harwich, MA, as an STR. The house is on Cape Cod, a beach community that is wildly popular in July/August. We are always fully booked for around $600 per night in July/August.
The problem is: We need more bookings in the spring and fall when demand is lower. I'm open to changing the listing, updating our pricing, adding amenities, or anything else that would lead to more spring and fall bookings.
We allow pets, so that's been a big draw for this house. The house isn't exactly walkable to the beach. When I walk to the beach, it's about a mile away. However, there are restaurants, bars, family activities (mini-golf, go-carts, etc.), and a wonderful supermarket that is close by and walkable (2-3 blocks away).
The reviews are excellent, and we are currently superhosts. We expect to lose superhost status in April because we had to cancel a booking (my mistake).
Thank you in advance for your feedback on my listing...

Also, the VRBO/AirBnB ranking stats are concerning. I think conversion is low because most people are looking for a weekend stay in July/August, but we have a 7-night minimum stay in July/August, so they bounce off our listing page (just a guess). We get 1 or 2 inquiries per day for weekend stays in July/August that we can't accommodate.
