Well, this is my first blog entry...ever!
I'm happy to say, the new direct book website for our Short Term Rental (STR) "Blue Heron on Little Kingston Creek" is now live, and open for business, and can be found here:
www.blueheronwaterfrontstr.com
...but I assume you already know that, or else you wouldn't be reading this "blog".
I really don't know the purpose of a blog, other than it helps promote your website in the "algorithms" of search engines somehow, I think? That is, obviously, why I'm starting this blog.
With that said, here we are! I'm very excited to have our direct book website live!
We've been open on Airbnb and VRBO for about a year now. Karen and I enjoy this new venture.. We absolutely enjoy meeting and (on occasion) socializing with our guests, but respect the fact most guests want 'zero' interaction with a host.
I belong to all the Facebook Airbnb & VRBO groups for hosts. I get some insights there, but mostly, they are a haven for complainers, always whining about Airbnb or VRBO shortcomings, but always forgetful of the hand that feeds them. I hope to be able to diversify enough, e.g., direct book website, to NOT depend on the big named favorites, but it will depend on my return clientele...at least in the beginning. I am grateful to Airbnb and VRBO, but I do NOT want to depend on them.
I don't know the kind of audience this blog will reach, but whoever reads, please consider staying at Blue Heron on your next visit to the Solomons, MD area. You will not find another place to stay more dedicated to making your stay the best it can be.
To be continued...
