Photos

Which property photos should I include in my listing?

Travelers are more likely to inquire on a property with lots of great photos. We all like to know exactly what we are getting before we pay for it and your guests do not want any surprises. However, you may find it difficult to find enough photos to display, especially if you have a small property. To help you make the most of your listings, we have put together some suggestions for adding additional photos.

Start with the MUST- HAVE photos that travelers are looking for:
  • The view
  • The living area
  • The exterior of your home or building
  • The kitchen
  • The master bedroom
  • Each guest bedroom
  • Outdoor amenities, like a pool or hot tub

Also consider including photos of:

  • The same rooms as above, but taken from different angles
  • Any other distinctive view shots from your home (front, rear, balcony, bedroom window, etc.)
  • The exterior of both the front and rear of your home or building
  • Unusual or unexpected amenities like HDTV, pool table, or beach chairs
  • Unique aspects of your home - a fancy espresso machine, architectural details, special artwork or plush towels
  • The amenities in your building or complex (fitness centers, restaurants, etc.)
  • Seasonal or day AND evening photos of the same shots
  • Tourist attractions
