Newman-Dailey Vacation Properties Are Guest FavoritesWhen it comes to choosing vacation accommodations, the age of “just winging it” has ended. With more and more vacationers researching and booking their travel plans online, there are few details of the property left out of the decision-making process.
What started out with a number of good (an often better-than-reality) photographs and descriptions of vacation homes soon turned into virtual tours and videos. But what about those details that eluded the camera’s eye? What about the experience of the guest?
Here begins the age of the guest review, or now becoming known as the “guestimonial”. Now the human element is involved, using the tips and comments made by past guests as well as overall ratings of the property on various levels, such as cleanliness, experience and location.
Now the success of many hotels and vacation rental management companies revolves around the reviews of past guests – which are great for the vacationer planning his next stay! Savvy online entrepreneurs are capitalizing on this trend and bringing reviews into one central location. One such company is FlipKey, a division of TripAdvisor, who provide a standardized guest review system for vacation rental properties.
Newman-Dailey Resort Properties, a rental management company in Destin, Florida, is leading the way in guestimonial excellence. They’ve recently partnered with FlipKey to provide honest opinions and feedback from their past guests to users of their Destin vacation website. Here are a few such reviews as found on their website and TripAdvisor:
Coastal Pleasure ~ 5-Star Review
It was an absolutely awesome experience. The house was immaculate, had lots of room, décor was restful and it felt so relaxing to just be there. The location was also fabulous. We had several family members with us and we all agreed that it was one of the best vacations we have ever had. Thanks for a great time! -- Reviewed by Chilling from Pineville, Louisiana.
Under the Tuscan Sun ~ 5-Star Review
This property was the best rental home we have ever had. It was large, comfortable and spotless. The televisions, sound systems and pool were all perfect. With an easy walk to the private beach and the beautiful home, we had a great vacation and will definitely rent this home again! -- Reviewed by Chuck from Atlanta, Georgia.
