For Gay Hotel Owners and Managers

Pink Vacation Rentals:

We are a new website, with a creative angle to the popular vacation rentals business. This trend started years ago and has grown in popularity with the passing of each year.

Background:

I am a licensed Real Estate broker and the owner of Rainbow Realty, Inc. in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I have over 20 years as a licensed real estate professional.  In addition, I own and operate a small boutique hotel in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Over the past couple of years, business began to slow. From the calls and emails I was getting, it was clear that most people were looking for a “special deal”. Because most of my 9 units have either a kitchenette, or full kitchen, they were perfect for extended stays.

About 18 months ago, I listed several of my own properties on vacation rentals websites. I soon learned firsthand that there are a lot of consumers out there looking for this kind of travel experience. I offered a few of the larger units at Mary’s Resort to these consumers. Not only was it a success, but most of my revenue over the past 6 months has been a direct result of vacation rentals.

I didn’t have to worry about housekeeping, because with vacation rentals, it isn’t expected. Not only that, but I was charging a “departure cleaning fee” in addition to the rent. Tax and a refundable deposit were also collected.

Because these people were renting a vacation home, they would sign an Agreement and make a 50% payment with the Agreement and they pay the remainder 14-days prior to arrival. Unlike the hotel business, you get your money in advance. All of these practices are standard in the vacation rental business.

In addition to the original 2-bedroom unit at Mary’s Resort, I also started advertising a few other, smaller units. I always disclose that the unit they are renting is part of a resort.  The fact that they were staying at the resort was actually a plus.

In addition to Mary’s Resort, I have 2 other properties, which I rent as vacation rentals. The income from these properties is much greater than I could expect if I were renting them on an annual basis.

After several months of renting my own vacation rentals, I noticed a void. There really isn’t a great vacation rentals website marketing to the gay (LGBT) market.  Yes, there are a few websites offering gay friendly vacation rentals. None offer what Pink Vacation Rentals will.

Pink Vacation Rentals will be different:

Pink Vacation Rentals is designed as a place where gay consumers (as well as others) can locate vacation rentals from private individuals, as well as hotels, resorts, etc. In addition to the listings, the site will soon contain travel articles on each destination. In addition, I am working with a company who will “certify” the properties as “gay welcoming”.  Other features I am working on is offering travel insurance, rental cars, flights and all inclusive (flight, vacation rental, car) packages and possibly tours. I am expanding on the traditional Vacation Rentals business by adding hotels, where guests will rent the room or suite for a week or so, but will forgo the usual maid services, etc. These “packages” will benefit the property owners in saving of personal cost and in turn save consumers who are on a tight budget by offering them an alternative to traditional hotel stays.

Pink Vacation Rentals is presently on-line and fully capable of generating business. What we are lacking is inventory. The best and fastest way to get inventory is to make people an offer they can’t refuse. Not only will you get a great deal for your $20 investment, but because there aren’t a lot of other listings, you may be the only one in a specific region. Hurry, this won’t last forever!
