Vacation rentals

I’m thrilled to announce a new initiative from our office, Tim Kerr Sotheby’s International Realty, specifically designed for our rental properties. We’re creating online digital property books for all our rental homes, providing a comprehensive resource for our guests. Additionally, we’ll offer a support platform where guests can easily get answers to any questions or address any issues during their stay.

The new digital property book will include essential information about each rental home, such as check-in and check-out times, Wi-Fi details, coffee maker type, special property instructions, local area information, and more. If owners have any specific instructions for their property, we will include them in our online guestbook, too.

For additional details, feel free to reach out to me: ann.delaney@tksir.com or 609-967-7950

A Small World

When traveling, it’s always fun to discover the Avalon or Stone Harbor connections.

We spent a week in the Lake Tahoe region right after Labor Day. And almost every day, talked with people who have family or personal ties to our 7 mile island!

One young man by the pool mentioned that he and his brothers had all been Avalon lifeguards. Because I had brought along my beach bag for this trip, I gave him one of my 2024 beach tags as a souvenir. He was thrilled. A really sweet encounter.

It’s a gift to see the enthusiasm for our special beach location – especially when we are visiting another beautiful spot. It never gets old!

Wave hello if you see me in my red kayak 🙂

Sheets and Towels at Rental Properties

In an effort to generate more rental activity for our property owners, Tim Kerr Sotheby’s added listings with open weeks to the VRBO website.

The VRBO fees charged on the landlord side are being paid by our agency and agents based on an expectation of attracting new business to our company.

And it worked! We have successfully converted most inquiries to leases, filling in otherwise vacant weeks.

A common question from our new VRBO customers is regarding the need to bring sheets and towels.

The regular airbnb or VRBO guest expects freshly made beds, and towels hanging in the bathrooms.

As property owners and rental agents, we have to acknowledge the changes in our industry if we expect to remain competitive in the vacation home market.

I am happy to discuss the benefits of coordinating with a local linen rental company for the 2025 season.

P.S. Earlier this week, a VRBO sourced tenant asked “will the rental property have shampoo, body wash, hand soap, or should we bring our own?” It’s not unusual for VRBO and aibnb properties to provide mini soaps and shampoo containers, as well as dish soap, laundry and dishwasher pods, etc.

We welcome this perspective to plan ahead with our rental owners.

Another Delaney in 2025

Coming soon…another grandson 👶 due in January.

Although he will be raised in the mountains of North Carolina, we are looking forward to plenty of beach visits!

Landlord Duties

A quick trip down south to provide some TLC to our rental property.

As I know from my experience handling vacation rentals in Avalon and Stone Harbor, regular owner visits are key to keeping up with maintenance items and overall cleanliness.

So, I will “spring clean” for a few days, and try to keep my sense of humor about what I discover as I organize!

P.S. I’m now a few days in and STILL trying to find everything 😉

Before…

And after!
