Building a Vacation Rental Vision Board: Strategy Meets Imagination – Episode 076

Running a vacation rental can feel like a never-ending task list—bookings, cleaning, maintenance, repeat. But what if you could see where you're headed, every single day? In this episode, we explore the creative yet strategic power of building a vacation rental vision board.

This isn’t about daydreaming—it’s about clarity. A vision board can help you map out the look, feel, and future of your short-term rental business, guiding your decisions and fuelling your momentum.

We’ll show you how to:

• Define your board’s focus—brand clarity, expansion, guest experience, or income goals
• Break it into visual categories: from amenities to finances to lifestyle
• Use quotes, screenshots, guest photos, and more to spark daily inspiration
• Keep it visible and action-oriented—this is your strategy in pictures

🕒 Episode Timeline:
[01:42] - Why a vision board works (and how your brain loves visuals)
[04:15] - Set a purpose: What do you want this board to do?
[06:38] - Segment your board like a strategy map
[09:02] - What to include: Reviews, photos, sticky notes & more
[11:56] - Where to put your board for max impact
[14:20] - Turn inspiration into action: planning from your board

🎯 Whether you're dreaming of better reviews, stronger bookings, or a lifestyle shift, this episode will help you realign with what matters.
