While Airbnb has been our primary focus, where we have successfully built our reputation over the past eight years, opportunities abound on other platforms like VRBO and Booking.com. Expanding to these sites could significantly increase your bookings.
If you’re curious why we’ve concentrated solely on Airbnb, feel free to ask—we believe in its reliability and effectiveness. However, there’s great potential in diversifying. By adding and focusing on VRBO and Booking.com, you can probably easily double your bookings.
For those interested in broader investment opportunities, I also have another property nearby. This second property, Bridge View Apartment Suites, features six spacious apartments, all situated in a prime location with stunning views of Ecuador’s longest bridge. This property would be perfect for longer-term rentals on Airbnb and for the expat community in Ecuador. Many expats curious about coastal living in Bahia would stay for a month or two to see if they like the area. Additionally, the property is just one block from the mall, with a great little park right in front of the Chone River. Acquiring both properties presents a unique opportunity, and I’m prepared to offer a very favorable deal for the right buyer.
