3 WAYS TO ENSURE THAT YOUR HILTON HEAD ISLAND HOME IS BOOKED SOLID FOR 2020.

Resolve to make 2020 the best year ever when it comes to maximizing your vacation rental income.

First and foremost kickoff the new year by choosing to partner with Hilton Head Island’s premier property management and vacation rental team at The Vacation Company. Our island experts, which are all locals with over 150 years of combined experience, have one main focus: creating the highest level of success for our owners. From maximizing rental potential or providing first-class service with a personal flair for you and your property, nobody matches our 30 years of experience or our exclusive portfolio of nearly 400 exclusive Hilton Head Island properties. Unlike many other property management firms who are corporately owned by entities far from Hilton Head, we understand the island; its nuances, values and unique guest opportunities. So whatever your new year’s resolutions might be, make sure one of them is to talk with one of our personal property experts today.


Here are a couple other ways our island property team can help you optimize your rental income in 2020.

Pictures and even more so video are the most compelling ways to attract vacation seekers to your island home. They are the very first things people look at when considering a vacation property, and the top reason they decide to choose a home–or not. We can help you with using a professional photographer and videographer with a great deal of experience in architectural imaging. In addition, we can help you make sure the space is clean, staged and the décor is perfect!

EXPERT TIP: Get outdoor pictures and video of your home at twilight all lit up with warm, welcoming light. Plus, another way to draw even more attention is to record a video tour with audio description.


Thirdly, keeping your home “current” is another huge factor to ensuring the bookings keep on coming in throughout the year. Out of all the rooms in your home none are more important to keep updated and upgraded than your kitchen and bathrooms. Potential renters assume if your kitchen and baths are not updated than neither is any other part of your home, so prioritize improvements by updating kitchen first then your master bath, and other baths from there. Choose an Interior Designer to guide and assist you, or have one of our Vacation Company Interior Designers help make your home as coastal chic and comfortable as possible.

EXPERT TIP: A good rule of thumb is to invest approximately 10% of yearly revenue to keep everything up-to-date and maintained at a quality level.

Cheers to 2020, together with your personal island property team at Vacation Company, let’s make it the best year ever!
