Crystal Coast Rentals

I noticed that many of the owners listing their rentals, were having trouble with text formatting issues. Good news, I found and installed a script that provides you with a much more friendly interface to add or edit your property description. This should help those using the rental by owner section.

It always was possible to jazz your text up with bold, italics, or even link to another site for booking or other information. But now it doesn’t require a bit of html knowledge. You can simply highlight text click the link icon and create a link. You can bold text. It preserves line breaks automatically. This should encourage you to create a more enticing description and if nothing else make it easier for people to read.

You can still embed YouTube videos in the description too. In fact I plan on making a video shortly on how to add and edit your property on the rental by owner section. I think this will help a lot of folks.

So if you already have a property listed I encourage you to login again and jazz up the text a bit.

While were talking about descriptions…it’s much better for you, me and any other site you have your property listed on if you use a unique description. Don’t just copy/paste the same one here, vrbo, and all the others. This will prevent any duplicate content issues with search engines.

So get creative and really dress those rentals up!

Some upcoming updates:

1. Provide ability to upload maybe 4-6 photos. The only issue here is storage and bandwidth. I have to pay for these images, and the bandwidth to serve them up to renters. Would you be willing to pay for YOUR photos?
2. Workout a way to automate calendar setup. Currently its an entirely manual setup process.
3. What other updates or new features would you like to see?
