    How Katie Replaced Her W-2 Job With Vacation Rentals

    Marriott International owns just 50 of its 9,500 hotels worldwide. They are not in the real estate business; they are in the hospitality business. In this episode of The Accommodation Show, former Ritz-Carlton and St. Regis PR director Katie Cline breaks down how to apply luxury hotel secrets to your short-term rental portfolio. Katie shares how she built a high-performing 3-property portfolio, landed a full-page feature in The New York Times, and identified her personal "unfair advantage." We discuss shifting from a real estate mindset to a guest-experience lens, pitching media outlets without paying a PR agency, and why buying a vacation rental first can unlock financial flexibility faster than traditional home ownership.

    How to Become a #1 Rated Property and win awards

    Awards look like vanity. Follow the money and they're anything but.Strong reviews get you noticed by the travel companies. The travel companies hand out the awards. The awards generate PR. The PR creates demand. And demand is the only thing that gives you the confidence to charge what you're worth.Marco DiDomizio and his husband left corporate careers in New York, bought an underperforming nine-room inn in 2016 with no hospitality experience between them, and spent nine years turning it into the top-rated bed and breakfast in the United States three years running and one of the top thirty hotels in the world. Then they sold it profitably in 2025.In this episode Marco walks through the actual sequence. The question he asks about every operational decision, which renovations pay back and which ones are just for you, the renovation loan they recouped in a single night, how to build a personal touchpoint into a stay when you can't be on site, and the checkout ritual that reliably turns good stays into public reviews.Every operator would like the award. Almost nobody can tell you the sequence that produces one.#BedAndBreakfast #GuestExperience #HotelMarketingDon't forget to hit that subscribe button!

    How Do You Get Your First Client With Zero Properties?

    She Got Hung Up On. Three Years Later She Has Nine Properties. Cathleen Cataldo's first sales call ended when the prospect asked how many properties she managed. She said she was still in the process. The woman said she wanted someone who knew what they were doing, and hung up. Three years later she runs nine short-term rentals in the Poconos, with fourteen on the way. In this episode we get into the honest version of starting a short-term rental business. Not the guru version. How she landed her first co-hosting client with no properties and no track record, the tech stack she set up before she owned anything, why she kept her corporate job for two full years, and why local knowledge is still a moat in an era of remote management. If you've been thinking about starting, Cathleen had no capital, no property, and no hospitality background. And if you've been doing this for a decade, watch what a new operator reaches for by default. The starting line has moved.

    Stand Out or Drop Your Prices. There Is No Third Option.

    There are only two ways to survive an oversupplied market. You stand out, or you drop your prices. Most operators pick the second option without realising they've made a choice at all. Bali's Airbnb listings have grown from roughly 40,000 to over 70,000. Supply overtook demand in 2025. Market ADRs have dropped 20 to 30 percent in two years. Villa Finder's ADR dropped 6 percent. In this episode I sit down with Daniel Rouquette, founder of Villa Finder, to break down exactly how they did it. The Villa Positioning Plan, guest personas built with AI, the record player in the hero photo, the $200 family kit that changes what market you compete in, and how to make invisible service visible through reviews. Whatever market you're in, supply is probably growing faster than demand. Bali is just the loudest version of what's happening everywhere. This is the playbook for holding your rates while everyone else quietly cuts theirs. scuss: 00:00 – Introduction: Daniel Rouquette, founder of Villa Finder01:16 – The Bali gold rush is over: standing out in an overcrowded market03:13 – The three big topics: regulation, oversupply, and AI04:10 – ADRs down 20-30%: how supply overtook demand in 202505:27 – Why $500 salaries kept Bali from automating (and why AI changes that)09:05 – The numbers: 40,000 to 70,000+ listings, and the missing European market11:22 – Who stays in villas: families, groups, and the supply problem14:08 – The Villa Positioning Plan: personas, AI research, and standing out14:47 – The record player trick (picked up at STRive Melbourne)16:37 – How Villa Finder held ADR to -6% while the market fell 20%19:54 – Making invisible service visible: reviews that name staff, 15-minute callbacks24:52 – Standardisation vs personalisation across a portfolio26:46 – The $200 family kit: pool toys, baby cots, and changing your category27:31 – Why Bali never automated, and the opportunity that just opened31:10 – 50 staff vs 5: the real difference between Bali and Western operations33:10 – The rise of operations management as its own software category35:53 – Daniel's AI bootcamp: train the person who knows the process, not the techie39:51 – The one thing to do this week: block time to think with AI41:25 – Wrap-up #STRPositioning #BaliVillas #ShortTermRentals Don't forget to hit that subscribe button!

    It has been a couple of weeks since Bali Villa Connect 2026, and the conversations I had on the ground are still rattling around in my head.While I was at the conference I grabbed a microphone, found nine of the smartest operators and suppliers walking around the floor, and asked all of them the same question:What should short-term rental operators be thinking about for the end of 2026?Nobody gave the same answer twice. But the themes that came through say a lot about where the industry's head is at right now. From AI and automation, to compliance, to the surprisingly grounded reminder that good beds and a clear identity still win.

    You Won the Booking. Now What? | Operto

    Speed has become a virtue all on its own. Everything has to be faster, cheaper, more automated, more efficient. And in the rush to optimise everything, we've quietly stopped asking whether the thing we're optimising actually matters. That tension is everywhere in our industry right now. Operators are pouring time into revenue management, dynamic pricing, OTA visibility, and direct booking funnels. All of it important. But while everyone is fighting for the booking, the part that comes after the booking, the actual stay, is often held together with manual workarounds and hope. In this episode I sit down with Corrine Harris, General Manager at Operto, to talk about the middle of the guest journey. The part that decides whether someone leaves a review, comes back, or quietly never books with you again. We get into why getting the guest into the property is still the biggest pain point, how to automate without losing the human touch, why guest expectations have quietly caught up with hotels, and why chasing every new AI tool is the fastest way to burn six months on the wrong project. Corrine has been at Operto for five years and ran her own property management business before that, so this isn't theory. It's lived. Corrine Harris — General Manager, Operto 🌐 operto.com 00:00 — Intro: Corrine from Operto, calling in from Canada 01:00 — What Operto actually does: from booking to checkout 01:19 — Corrine's background: 5 years at Operto, ex-property manager 02:43 — Why guest communication still gets pushed to the bottom of the list 03:51 — The current state of tech adoption in short-term rentals 04:38 — Breaking down the guest journey by booking channel 05:18 — Why OTA vs direct changes the rules of guest comms 07:05 — Defining "the middle of the journey" (booking to post-checkout) 07:39 — What good pre-arrival communication actually looks like 08:59 — Why the digital guest experience has to feel like one ecosystem 10:23 — The blended approach: automation plus human when needed 12:35 — The biggest guest pain point: getting into the property 14:51 — Why a generic guest guide isn't enough 15:25 — When a PMS isn't enough, and where Operto goes deeper 16:42 — Integrating with 70+ PMS platforms 18:36 — Cleaning, maintenance and the operations behind the scenes 20:14 — How guest expectations have caught up with hotels 21:59 — Speed: why everyone now expects instant responses 22:52 — AI and the future of hospitality staffing 24:23 — How AI removes the bottleneck on training new staff 25:31 — The pressure to keep getting faster 25:54 — Corrine's advice for operators feeling overwhelmed by tech 27:04 — The trap of trying to change everything at once 27:46 — Why holding back on shiny new tools is sometimes the smart move 30:08 — Final advice: focus on what will actually move the needle 31:30 — Wrap-up ACCOMMODATION OWNERS AND MANAGERS FREE RESOURCES! 📧Join the mailing list for freebies and critical industry updates: https://news.theaccommodationshow.com/ 🔗 Connect with Bart Sobies for industry insights, tools, and resources: https://www.ibooked.online/bart/ 🎙 Catch every episode of The Accommodation Show here: https://www.theaccommodationshow.com ✨ Ready to take things up a level?
