Trends come and go in the vacation rental world, but the desire of guests to stay in a unique Airbnb always remains. The best Airbnb properties are the out-of-the-ordinary places that guests will remember for years. These properties are architecturally advanced, perfectly decorated, and maintained to the highest standards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But how can hosts with objectively ordinary properties take advantage of the unique Airbnb trend?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is a Unique Airbnb?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The word \u2018unique\u2019 is defined by the <\/span>Cambridge Dictionary<\/span><\/a> as \u2018being the only existing one of its type or, more generally, unusual, or special in some way\u2019. Think of these unique listings not as \u2018unlike any other\u2019, but as distinctive, special, and individual.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unique vacation rental properties can be labeled as such for many reasons: location, design, fixtures, amenities, and decor. Critically, they don\u2019t need to be considered unique in every aspect to be labeled as special. This is where the majority of property owners will be able to enter into the trend.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How Can I Make My Vacation Rental More Unique?<\/b><\/h2>\n

There are a few ways to make your property more noticeable, but unfortunately, all of them involve remodeling, or redecorating at the very least. The <\/span>architectural design<\/span><\/a> of your property is very difficult to change, so you\u2019ll need more creative ways to inject some singularity into your property.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Add Something Special\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

If your property has a garden, you could add something special like a sauna, mini house, tree house, putting green or herb garden. All of these suggestions depend on space, of course. Try to add something that will make your property special, and it really could be anything. It\u2019s always a good idea to keep the theme in your home running into your outdoor area, just for continuity purposes. It will make your property more cohesive and present a polished image to your guests.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Think Outside of the Box<\/b><\/h3>\n

Have you ever seen a hammock room in an Airbnb property? Maybe it\u2019s something that would appeal to guests with kids and could mean the difference between you and your closest competitors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be afraid to get really creative with your property listing. At the end of the day, you\u2019re trying to secure as many bookings as possible, and standing out from the crowd is a great way to do that!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are a few creative things we\u2019ve seen (very rarely) in Airbnb properties over the years:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
