Spacious holiday home in Knokke-Heist: more weeks, less work

What was the problem?
One channel, flat rates all year and slow replies to guest questions. Outside summer the calendar in Knokke-Heist stayed empty, and cleaning plus key handovers ate every weekend.
What did we change?
Full onboarding in two weeks: professional photography and a rewritten listing, distribution across Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and our own direct channel, dynamic pricing per season and weekday, guest replies within the hour, and a fixed local cleaning and linen team checking the property after every stay.
What was the result?
Occupancy from 52% to 77%, average nightly rate from €260 to €291, and an average guest rating of 4.8. The owner gets one transparent report and one payout each month.
