How to Come Up with 16 Photos for Your VRBO Listing

For some vacation rental properties, it can be hard to find 16 photos to display.
 

You've heard it time and time again: Travelers are more likely to inquire about a property with more photos. However, you may find it difficult to find 16 photos that you would like to display. We have put together some suggestions for adding additional photos.

First off, start with the must-have photos that most travelers are looking for:

  • The view
  • The living area
  • The exterior of your home or building
  • The kitchen
  • The master bedroom
  • Each guest bedroom
  • The pool or hot tub (if you have one)
 
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 included with the home (HDTV, pool table, beach chairs,)
  • Unique aspects of your home like a fancy espresso machine, architectural details, special artwork or plush towels.
  • The amenities in your building (fitness centers, restaurants, etc.)
  • Day and evening photos of the same shots
  • Tourist attractions in your vacation destination.

And just because you're struggling to come up with 16 photos, doesn't mean that you should include a photo of every aspect of your home: Don't include a photo of only the toilet. You'd be surprised how many homeowners do!
