1. Highlight the ‘wow’ factor of your holiday home for rent. Does it have stunning views, designer furniture, a to-die-for swimming pool?

2. Live in your own holiday home for at least a week. It’s the only way you’ll know what can be improved and what aspects can be highlighted.

3. Make sure your photos are taken on a sunny day, and that they ALL make your holiday home look appealing.

4. Be honest with your advert. If you want repeat bookings, don’t promise the earth then under-deliver. Keep it straight.

5. Answer enquiries right away. If you don’t the person asking might find another holiday home to rent elsewhere.

6. Keep the online calendar up-to-date to save everybody’s time.
