From Barely Booked to Fully Thriving: How Simply 7X’ed Revenue in 5 Months
The Challenge
Our client was frustrated. His vacation rental property, managed by Vacasa, was underperforming significantly. In eight months, it brought in just $5,746 in gross revenue—barely covering expenses. Communication was poor, cleans were subpar, and the listing lacked appeal. He knew his property could perform better but didn’t know where to start.
The Simply Solution
He reached out to Simply in October 2024. Our investor-minded approach quickly identified several opportunities to boost performance:
Professional Photography & Listing Optimization:
We arranged a professional photoshoot, strategically highlighting the home’s spacious interior, upgraded lighting, and appealing outdoor spaces. We created an inviting, engaging listing description to attract guests from multiple platforms—Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and our own direct booking site.
Dynamic Pricing & Multi-platform Exposure:
By integrating advanced dynamic pricing tools, we optimized nightly rates to capture peak demand and maximize occupancy. We actively managed the listings across multiple platforms, significantly increasing visibility.
Property Enhancement & Maintenance:
Our team elevated the property’s curb appeal through targeted landscaping improvements, gutter cleanouts, and pressure-washing the deck. Inside, upgraded lighting created a warm, welcoming ambiance. Most importantly, we performed an extensive deep clean, investing the necessary time and attention to ensure every guest experienced a spotless, pristine stay—a significant improvement over prior management.
Exceptional Guest Experience:
Simply’s proactive communication and flawless cleans transformed guest experiences. His Airbnb account rapidly achieved Superhost status, thanks to consistent 5-star reviews.
Results
Within just five months of Simply taking over (from October 24th to March), the results speak for themselves:
Conclusion
Simply transformed our client’s rental from struggling to thriving in just a few months, increasing monthly revenue tenfold while delivering exceptional guest experiences. Our strategic, investor-minded approach made the difference—and we can do the same for your property.
