Christmas tree and holiday decor service from White Rose Villas vacation home property management in Florida

Here’s how it works:

Let’s bring festive cheer to your home and delight your guests this Holiday Season.

Like many vacation rental owners and businesses, we have been tracking the progress of Florida Senate Bill 280 over the past few weeks.

We’re delighted to be able to report that Governor Ron DeSantis has vetoed the bill.

The implications of Florida SB-280

The bill would have had implications for the vacation rental industry which would have impacted the financial viability of many vacation homes for homeowners.

It sought to establish statewide maximum overnight occupancy limits, limit the number of inspections at each property and to allow local governments to charge a “reasonable fee” from homeowners to register a property. Violations could result in fines of up to $500.

SB-280 passed through the State Senate in February 2024. Sponsored by Pinellas County Republican Nick DiCeglie, it passed 23-16 in the Senate but only narrowly in the House. At 60-51, it had one of the closest margins of any measure introduced in that chamber this legislative session.

Following its passing in the chambers, a campaign was launched to ask the State Governor not to ratify the bill and to use his power to veto the legislation to prevent the bill passing into State law. Many vacation rental companies, including White Rose Villas and many of our homeowners, leant their voice to the campaign.

DeSantis vetoes SB-280

We’re delighted to report that this widespread campaign was successful. On June 27, 2024, Governor Ron DeSantis vetoed SB-280.

In doing so, DeSantis said, “Beyond creating new bureaucratic red tape that locals must comply with, CS /SB 280 prevents local governments from enforcing existing ordinances or passing any new local measure which would exclusively apply to vacation rentals. Under the bill, any such measure must apply to all residential properties. The effect of this provision will prevent virtually all local regulation of vacation rentals even though the vacation rental markets are far from uniform across the state. Going forward, I encourage the Florida Legislature and all key stakeholders to work together, with the understanding that vacation rentals should not be approached as a one-size-fits-all issue. For these reasons, I withhold my approval of CS /SB 280 and do hereby veto the same.”

This is great news for vacation rental homeowners. It means that the proposed changes won’t be brought in under this bill.

Of course, going forward, we will keep you updated about subsequent attempts by the state and local legislatures to regulate our sector.

Thank you to everyone who added their voice

Thank you for much for your support in campaigning against this bill. Your voice has been heard.

We’ve noticed a growing demand for safety handrails in pools and spas.

Therefore, we’d like to assess our homeowners’ interest in installing these features in your homes. If there is a lot of interest, we can try to negotiate a group deal which will save everyone money.

Enhancing safety and convenience with pool and spa handrails

As a vacation-home owner, ensuring the comfort and safety of your guests is paramount.

The installation of handrails for pools and spas in increasingly popular and is being increasingly requested by guests. In some cases, we’ve even lost bookings because homes lacked these essential safety features.

Why install handrails?

Installing handrails can deliver a boost to your bookings. Here’s why.

#1. Enhanced safety

Handrails provide crucial support for guests as they enter and exit the pool or spa. By offering this added safety feature, you can significantly reduce the risk of slips and falls, creating a more secure environment for all your guests.

2. Increased accessibility

Handrails make pools and spas more accessible to everyone, regardless of their age or physical ability. This is especially important for children, elderly guests, and those with mobility issues.

Improving the accessibility of your home can broaden your potential guest base – especially in Florida where we get a lot of snowbirds staying with us in the winter months. Handrails make your property more appealing to families, seniors, and anyone with mobility challenges.

3. Improved guest experience

Offering handrails can enhance the overall guest experience by providing an extra level of comfort and ease. When guests feel safe and know their needs have been accommodated, they are more likely to enjoy their stay and leave positive reviews, which can lead to more bookings in the future.

Current installation costs

The provider we currently use charges $430 to install handrails. While this is a reasonable investment considering the benefits, we are exploring the possibility of a group buying option to secure a better deal for all interested homeowners.

Group buying opportunity

If we can gather enough interest, we may be able to negotiate a discounted rate for handrail installations. This collective approach not only makes the upgrade more affordable but also demonstrates our commitment to guest safety and satisfaction across all our properties.

How to participate

If you are interested in getting handrails installed at your vacation home’s pool or spa, please let us know. Your participation can help us achieve a better price and ensure that all our properties meet the high standards guests expect.

Installing handrails is a proactive step towards enhancing the safety, accessibility, and overall appeal of your vacation home. By investing in this simple yet effective feature, you can attract more guests, improve their experience, and ultimately increase your bookings.

Let’s work together to make our properties safer and more welcoming for everyone.

As vacation rental home owners, we all know first-hand that the travel landscape has undergone significant changes since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Guests now prioritise flexibility and reassurance when making travel plans.

This shift in consumer behaviour has led to an increased demand for vacation rentals with relaxed cancellation policies.

The three types of cancellation policy

Three types of cancellation policy are commonly used. These are:

Offers guests a full refund if the reservation is cancelled at least 14 days before check-in.

Provides a full refund if the reservation is cancelled at least 30 days before check-in.

Allows for a refund if the reservation is cancelled at least 60 days before check-in

To maintain competitiveness and enhance guest satisfaction, we strongly recommend selecting the “Relaxed” cancellation policy for your property. This policy offers guests the flexibility they desire while providing you with a competitive edge in the market.

Let’s consider why it’s a good idea to offer a relaxed cancellation policy for your vacation home bookings.

Meeting changing guest expectations

In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in guest preferences towards flexibility when it comes to booking accommodations. With uncertainties such as travel restrictions, unforeseen emergencies, and changing personal circumstances, guests are increasingly seeking out properties with lenient cancellation policies. By offering a flexible cancellation policy, owners can cater to these changing expectations and attract more bookings from discerning guests.

Standing out in a crowded market

The vacation rental market is becoming increasingly saturated, with countless properties vying for the attention of potential guests. In such a competitive landscape, it’s essential for owners to differentiate their property from the rest. A flexible cancellation policy can be a powerful selling point that sets a property apart from competitors. Guests are more likely to choose a property that offers them peace of mind and flexibility in case their plans change, giving properties with flexible cancellation policies a distinct advantage.

Building trust and loyalty

A flexible cancellation policy not only attracts guests but also helps build trust and loyalty. Guests appreciate the transparency and reassurance that comes with knowing they can cancel or modify their reservation without penalty if needed. By prioritising guest satisfaction and demonstrating flexibility, owners can foster positive relationships with guests, leading to repeat bookings and positive reviews.

Ensure a consistent cancellation policy across platforms

We recommend that you offer a relaxed cancellation policy across all the platforms on which you market your vacation rental home.

This includes:

This way, you simplify policy enforcement, booking administration and the guest experience.

Why a flexible cancellation policy is important for vacation rental owners

Offering a flexible cancellation policy is essential for vacation rental owners looking to stay ahead of the competition.

You can:

Embracing flexibility is not just a competitive advantage—it’s a key ingredient for success in today’s dynamic marketplace.

What should owners do next?

To facilitate the process of selecting a cancellation policy, we will be emailing all owners a document to complete. This document will allow owners to choose their preferred cancellation policy from the options provided: relaxed, moderate, or strict. We believe that empowering owners to select their own cancellation policy ensures that it aligns with their preferences and business goals.

Our new coffee stations have proved a big hit with guests. We’ve added them to many of our homes over the last six months and have been monitoring the results. This is what we’ve discovered.

The coffee stations have been used in all properties by almost all of our guests. Some use more than others, of course, but overall the feedback has been very positive.

What is a coffee station?

The coffee stations include everything a guest might need to make their morning beverage.

This includes:

Why have we added the new coffee stations?

We’re always looking for ways in which we can enhance the guest experience.

We’d much rather that our homeowners can compete on experience and quality stay than to compete on price. We don’t think it’s in anyone’s interest to get into a race to the bottom. Not ours, not our homeowners and not the guests’.

No other property managers in the area offer this service right now. Stocked coffee stations are therefore a great way to set our properties apart.

How they are going to make a cup of coffee in the morning is a surprisingly important factor in guest choice. Our top three enquiries are: pool; distance from Disney, type of coffee maker!

As an aside: It’s worth noting that guests prefer a Keurig coffee maker, so if you don’t have one of these in your property already, please get in touch with our team. We can purchase and install a Keurig machine in the home on your behalf if you wish.

What do guests love about the coffee stations?

Guest feedback tells us that they love the coffee station concept. It is particularly appreciated when a welcome basket isn’t included with the booking.

The convenience of being able to make a coffee or herbal tea on arrival is really welcomed, especially after a long journey.

Guests also love the disposable coffee cups. This surprised us at first, since all the homes have fully equipped kitchens. However, it seems that many guests like to make a coffee and take it to the park in a disposable cup. This way, they don’t have to carry an empty refillable coffee cup around the park all day.

Overall, we’ve had a great response from guests. Now, we’d like to hear your thoughts!

What do you think about the new coffee stations?

We’d love to hear from owners who have had a coffee station installed in your home to hear your thoughts about how successful the new coffee stations have been.

Have guests responded to you about them? Has the feedback been positive or negative?

Would you like to see the coffee stations continue? Do you think they add useful value to the guest experience?

How would you like to see this amenity develop in the future?

Exceptional guest stays are created through unique and exciting experiences layered on top of getting all the essentials right.

One of the additional services many guests request is for outside catering services. We’re really delighted to recommend Spice House Catering for this type of guest request.

We are delighted to recommend Spice House

Why do we recommend Spice House? Because of the quality of the food and the exceptional service, of course.

We can testify to the great-tasting food and exceptional service because our team recently enjoyed Spice House Catering’s services for themselves. We hosted a staff event at one of the properties we manage. And, because we’re big believers in practicing what we preach, it was a no brainer to use Spice House to cater for the event.

About Spice House Catering

Born in Montego Bay Jamaica, Spice House chef Dameon grew up in a culture where foods are grown naturally and harvested nearby. Organic has always been a way of life, not a grocery store label. With an extensive background working in some of the finest luxury hotels and cruise ships for over 20 years, chef Dameon has developed a diverse culinary background.

He strives to bring that same level of attention to detail, culinary creativity and high-class service to every catering client. If our team’s reviews are anything to go by, he certainly succeeds!

Spice House cuisine

Spice House specialities include: Jamaican jerk chicken; escovitch snapper filet; rice and peas and pineapple upside-down cake.

The menu is diverse, with plenty of cuisines and influences evident in the catering menu. Choose from Italian favourites such as caprese salad and chocolate cannoli. Or opt for a Southern Menu featuring hickory smoke BBQ chicken, honey BBQ pork ribs, grilled salmon with a dill beurre blanc, sauteed collard greens and a red velvet cake for dessert.

There are traditional Mexican options from which to choose as well as all American favourites like cobb salad and key lime pie. Or you can opt to build your own buffet. This way, you can pick all your favourites from the wide range of delicious options.

We opted to build our own buffet and the team loved the results.
