🌴 AFTER 7 YEARS AS AN AIRBNB HOST, I NEED TO SPEAK UP!
For seven years, we’ve poured our hearts into Aruba Tropical Boutique, creating a special place for guests to enjoy our beautiful island. ❤️
But the vacation rental industry is changing, and not necessarily for the better.
Between rising Airbnb and Vrbo fees, changing policies, increasing expenses, and new regulations, small vacation rental owners are feeling the squeeze.
💰 Did you know? Under Airbnb’s host-only fee structure, approximately 15.5% of a booking can go directly to the platform. That’s $155 on a $1,000 reservation, before we even cover cleaning, utilities, maintenance, insurance, and taxes!
And who ultimately pays? Often, YOU, the traveler, through higher nightly rates.
🏝️ HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP: BOOK DIRECT!
When you book directly with a trusted property owner, you can often:
✅ Save on booking fees
✅ Get better, more personal service
✅ Support a small, independent business
After seven years of hosting, I can tell you that this business is about so much more than bookings. It’s about creating memories, welcoming guests, and sharing the island we love. 🌺
