Turning Your Cabo Home Into an Air BNB

Cabo San Lucas is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Which is why it's in the best interest of any home or property owner to look into making some side money through an Air BnB.

However, one search will show you that there's no shortage of competition in this area.

So what do you do to make sure your errant BnB stands out in the crowd and gets a steady flow of bookings? Read on for our top tips on converting your home into a Cabo Air BnB.

Know Your Area

It's important to be able to offer realistic expectations to your guests. The majority of tourists will be wanting to look for properties that are close to all the action.

If you're not so fortunate enough to have a more central spot, what other services can you offer to make up for this?

Are you willing to offer transportation for your guests? Give them recommendations? Make sure there's Netflix and bottled water in every room?

The more amenities and features you can offer, the easier it will be to counterbalance and a not so desirable location.

Invest in the Decor

Even if you only plan on renting out a single room in your home, it's important to ensure that the room is decorated with all of the luxury of a hotel suite.

Invest in quality bed linens, extra towels, and even provide some locally made soaps and lotion in the bathroom.

While your guests may be looking for an Air BnB, they're still looking to feel like they're away on vacation, not sleeping on their buddies couch.

Lean in to SEO

Yes, as SEO even has a place on Air BnB. Consider what kind of keywords and phrases your guest may be looking for, and try to naturally incorporate them into your home's description.

Be sure not to include any false information as this can quickly get you flagged on the Air BnB website.

Think of Simple Details

While this may not be something that you include in the description of your home, we promise you it's something that will land you shining reviews. Take time to think about the simple details.

For example, if you know that your guests are coming with children, stop by the dollar store and pick up a few coloring books, crayons, and cute trinkets.

Have a guest that is traveling with a dog? Keep a container of doggy treat on the counter.

These little details don't have to require much money. But by simply taking an extra step, you'll find that your guests are more than happy to leave stellar recommendations resulting in more bookings.
