Great book. Worth every penny. My listings are going through the roof! I have owned long term rentals for some time, but this was my first venture with a vacation rental. After implementing a number of suggestions from the book, my bookings are now 30% above where they were a year ago. Very, very worthwhile purchase.Rick Scali

I had been debating on for the past year on whether to pursue the vacation rental business. I had many questions that I needed answering. And I found almost all of them addressed by this book.
After studying it carefully, I felt fully armed with the knowledge of how to make this business work for me. I felt confident to purchase my first vacation rental property and have had bookings since my first day due to the marketing advice presented in this extremely informative book.
I saved many frustrating hours in filling out forms and writing ad copy for the four recommended vacation rental websites because there is detailed instructions on EXACTLY how to fill them out, what would give me best ad placement, etc. I’m sure I’ve saved a great deal of money in going directly to the best sites to advertise instead of trial and error.
For me, it is well worth the money to invest in this very practical and informative book. I appreciate that Emily and Alfred make themselves available for personal phone consultation as well. After a personal coaching session critiquing my ad copy and photos, I was able to fine-tune my ads to be even more effective. Thanks!
