Vacation Rental Trends

Beachouse

One of the key vacation rental trends that vacation rental owners should be aware of in 2025 is the increased demand for unique stays. Unique stays often command higher nightly rates and attract more bookings.

Travelers are seeking one-of-a-kind experiences, such as remote cabins, tiny homes, treehouses, and luxury glamping.  These types of homes are unique just by their very nature.  But what if you have a vacation rental home that can best be described as “average?”  There are things you can do to turn an average house into a unique vacation rental. This can significantly increase bookings and nightly rates.

Here are some ways to make a property stand out:

  • Give your rental a distinct personality by creating a theme or concept
  • Coastal Retreat (nautical decor, surfboards, beach gear)
  • Mid-Century Modern (vintage furniture, retro appliances)
  • Boho Escape (earthy tones, hanging plants, rattan furniture)
  • Hollywood Glam (bold colors, velvet furniture, gold accents)
  • Name the property accordingly (e.g., “The Boho Hideaway”“The Seaside Retreat”) for branding.
  • Have a custom logo or signage (e.g., a wooden entrance sign)

Vacation Rental Pacific Grove – Ocean View Beach House

Attention Nature Lovers!

2 Bedroom Ocean View Beach House – Sanderling

BOOK NOW

This vintage beach house is nestled in the Asilomar dunes area on two acres of lovingly restored native sand dune habitat. Set back from the road, it enjoys spectacular unobstructed views of the Pacific, crashing surf, sunsets and moonsets. Away from city lights and traffic, the nighttime sounds are those of wind, waves and the occasional sleepy cries of sea birds and sea lions.

The living room, sunroom, and kitchen have full ocean and sand dune views allowing one to observe the ever-varying parade of wildlife: whales, sea lions, sea otters, pelicans, cormorants, shore birds, black-tailed deer and more. A private enclosed back yard with bird feeders and baths provides a sanctuary for resident and migratory species.

The home is steps to rocky and sandy beaches, walking and biking trails, and is mid-way between the Pacific Grove municipal and Spanish Bay golf courses. The ambiance is intimate, cozy and comfortable with an open floor plan, hardwood flooring and Persian carpets, original signed artwork, and handcrafted driftwood furniture and carvings.

Two upstairs bedrooms each have Queen sized beds. The second bedroom is adjacent to a full bathroom; another full bathroom is located on the ground floor.

The sunroom is an ideal place to stretch out, read and relax as well as to dine and entertain. Amenities include a home theater system, WiFi and cable, flat panel TVs with Roku, Amazon Prime and Netflix video streaming, DVD players, and a video library.

NOTES: Limited cell phone service in this area. Fireplace is unusable.
