The vacation rental industry isn’t just changing – it’s growing. More travelers are choosing vacation rentals over traditional hotels than ever before. And that means there’s more money to be made for owners.

But it also means it’s harder to stand out against the competition unless you make managing your vacation home a full-time job or you hire a professional to help you.

The 2018 Vacation Rental Owner Insights Report provides a high-level overview of the current landscape in short-term rentals, including insights into these challenges and advantages.

Evolve surveyed 1,300 vacation rental owners spanning North America and Europe to get a snapshot of the challenges they’re facing. The responses we received revealed much more, including several competitive advantages that owners can use to get ahead. From data we collected, we were able to start to answer questions like:

  • What’s the biggest challenge facing vacation rental owners right now?
  • If you’re losing bookings, how can you catch up?
  • Is your marketing strategy competitive?
  • Are you protecting your vacation rental?

The report establishes important benchmarks, too, from the amount of money owners are making to their biggest pain points. With these performance baselines, we hope it will be easier for vacation rental owners and prospective buyers to understand how they fit in the landscape and what their options are.
