Watchman Villas

When it comes to the interior design of a vacation rental property you own, you shouldn’t stress about it too much but at the same time you should be deliberate with your choices. There’s no way that you can implement the tastes of all your future guests as that would be impossible. However, there are a handful of tips that are easy to understand, simple in their implementation, and will most certainly help you beautify your property and, most importantly, book more reservations. Watchman Villas, our Zion vacation rental, has seen wonderful success in large part from the consideration of these suggestions. Durability The flooring that you select for your Zion vacation rental should be built to last. Choose stone or hardwood, for example, rather than carpet as the latter requires more time and effort to clean and maintain. Your Zion vacation rental will endure a lot of wear and tear and the surface that receives the most friction is obviously the floor. Where furniture is concerned...

Have you ever heard the term wanderlust? It’s a word that refers to an intense appetite for travel. Now, there is certainly nothing wrong with a burning desire to travel Zion. In fact, we think that’s a good thing! The more you travel Zion, the happier you are. But we’ve seen many people who travel Zion only for self-satisfaction and public attention, particularly in the age of social media. This attitude toward travel Zion is often void of real meaning and ignores the most beneficial aspects of taking trips. Consider this: if you’re traveling somewhere to sip umbrella drinks, party at a concert, and show off your new swimsuit, though there is nothing inherently wrong with that (and a trip like that can be loads of fun), but it sounds more like a vacation than travel. Travel is different from a vacation in that it involves really exploring an area foreign to you and away from your home. Getting off the beaten path, making an effort to integrate yourself into the culture, and making...

People are buying homes and condos for the express purpose of getting into the vacation rental industry to make some side income. Staying in a Zion Park lodge or traditional hotel in any location is an option that certainly isn’t going anywhere, but vacation rentals and other alternative lodging choices are becoming increasingly more desirable and convenient.

Have you ever gone on a vacation where everything went according to plan, every itinerary item was met with exactness, and you didn’t have to change plans at all? It’s unlikely. There are some things that you can do to eliminate a large majority of potential vacation hurdles in advance, even when staying at vacation rentals and hotels in Zion, as well as help your trip be as stress-free as possible. Consider the following suggestions. Understand Why People Often Get Stressed Out On Vacation We find that the reason the majority of people can’t relax when they take a trip and stay at hotels in Zion is that their vacations are so few and far between that they simply aren’t used to being away from the stresses of everyday life and it’s difficult to simply unplug. A great way to fix this problem is to do everything you can to take breaks (even if they last only one day on the weekend) and go somewhere. Let your mind and body experience as often as feasibly possibly taking breaks. Go ...

The percentage of frequent travelers who regularly or semi-regularly choose to stay in vacation rentals (including Airbnb options) is rising every year. To say the vacation rental industry is booming would be an understatement. The industry as a whole has been on the rise for some time now. Figures from 2017 estimated the vacation rental industry, including Zion National Park accommodation, at over $150 billion. One interesting fact is that of all nationalities, Europeans book vacation rentals the most (which could be attributed to staying in “holiday homes” which is common in European culture and has been for years). In fact, according to data, approximately 50% of all European travelers in 2015 stayed in private accommodations which include places such as homes that are owned privately, individual couches and rooms that are formally rented, offerings by travel management companies, and park lodges. Americans are the runners-up in frequency of vacation rental bookings. As far back...
