What Guests Really Want in a Luxury Vacation Rental

Today’s guests expect more from a short-term rental than just a place to sleep. Whether they're traveling for leisure or work, they want a memorable, comfortable, and convenient experience—one that rivals a boutique hotel. At Premier Tempus, we’ve studied what guests truly value, and we build our service around delivering exactly that.

First impressions matter. Your listing photos, description, and reviews set the tone before guests even arrive. That’s why we invest in elite photography and high-converting copy to present your property as a must-book experience. Clean design, attractive staging, and high-end amenities build immediate trust.

Once guests arrive, it’s the details that create a 5-star stay: smart locks for easy entry, fast Wi-Fi, quality linens, a fully stocked kitchen, and thoughtful touches like local recommendations or a welcome basket. Cleanliness is non-negotiable, but comfort and convenience win hearts—and lead to glowing reviews.

Communication is another major factor. Guests want fast, friendly, and helpful responses to their questions—before, during, and after their stay. Our guest service team is always available, ensuring every stay goes smoothly.

Today’s travelers also want experiences, not just accommodations. That’s why we help craft local guides, offer concierge-style services, and create a sense of connection with each home.

When you provide an exceptional stay, the benefits go beyond just one booking. You get higher ratings, better visibility on Airbnb and VRBO, and more frequent, higher-paying guests.

At Premier Tempus, we know what guests want—and we make sure they get it, every time.
