Want Your Vacation Rental to Stand Out? Try Offering a Virtual Tour!

Offering a virtual tour to potential guests can help your property stand out from the rest.

Making your vacation rental stand out from the pack is critical. After all, you want interested customers to choose your rental first, rather than turning to another choice on the list. One of the best ways to make your virtual rental stand out is by offering a virtual tour.

What is a Virtual Tour?

A virtual tour takes guests on a walk through your property, letting them see all the critical details. It allows them to see things that cannot be seen in photographs: they can look inside closets, see a 360-degree view of the room, and get a detailed look at kitchen appliances. The detailed information provided by virtual tours can seal the deal for many potential vacation rental guests.

How to Create a Virtual Tour

You have two options if you want to create a virtual tour for your vacation rental guests. If you prefer the DIY strategy, you can use your smartphone to take guests on a tour through the property. You can use plenty of apps to create your tour, including Ricoh360, Concept 3D. Take time to familiarize yourself with the technology and see how you can use it to your full advantage.

If you prefer not to do it yourself, you can hire a company to come in and create a virtual tour for you. 

What are the Advantages of Virtual Tours?

Conducting a virtual tour provides many critical advantages. 

It Makes Your Property Stand Out

You want your property to offer something that your competitors don’t. By offering a virtual tour, you show that you always go the extra mile. This can make a critical difference for rental guests looking for the best possible rental experience.

It Provides a Closer Look at Important Details

Some guests have specific needs they consider when booking their vacation rental, and you may not be able to anticipate all of those needs in your listing. For instance, some guests want an outlet next to the bed for devices or medical equipment. Guests with disabilities may look for accessibility barriers, while other guests may be looking for a quality home kitchen. Virtual tours help each of these guests look around your property in detail to find what they are looking for.

It Highlights The Best Features of Your Property 

Sometimes a single photo – or even a gallery of photos – cannot fully capture every element of your rental that you wish to share with guests. However, when you take them on a virtual tour, you can highlight all of the things that make your rental ideal. 

Do you want to make your vacation rental stand out and enhance your guests’ understanding of what they get when they book your property? Offering a virtual tour is an excellent way to do this. Take your guests on a virtual walk through the property to let them see more of what you have to offer.
