As the vacation rental market has been expanding dramatically within the last few years, a great number of VR new websites has come to existence. However; one sees not much difference among most of these websites. Does any of them fill a gap in the vacation rental market? Is any of them giving hosts a real opportunity to gain more control over their listings? Set their standards in convenience with their circumstances? Not really. It is not crucially to add a new VR website to the already crowded market as much as it is to fill a gap in it and listen to the needs of those who practically comprise it- the hosts.

It was a matter of time before the founder of CuddlyNest realized the fact that hosts are struggling with some of the restraints they were obliged to follow, simply because they have no other choice.  The whole idea of the vacation rental market is to provide hospitality to guests exploring new horizons, making them feel like they are at home when they are thousands of miles away from it. But, who thought about the hosts?

When people decide to list their homes, they are making a drastic change to their lives, adjusting to it, and taking much of their time, effort, and money to provide the best service to others. They are giving others comfort, joy, and pleasure but are sometimes giving these out at the expense of their peace of mind.

Why are hosts struggling? Well, to start with, unicorn companies impose their terms that do not – in many cases- take any consideration of the hosts’ benefits. Hosts need to pay big chunks of money to list their homes, not to mention if they want to list hundreds of homes and need to pay to list them all.

CuddlyNest start up brought up a great opportunity that cannot be matched. Hosts pay no subscription fees, no matter how many listings they have. Period. The idea is to save hosts some money that could be better spent on renovations, adding amenities to the properties or just kept in the bank! CuddlyNest will never impose subscription fees out of the fact that hosts should not be exploited to get their listings-hopefully- viewed and rented. They can fully synchronize their calendars from other unicorn VR websites. All it takes is a click, and the calendar is ready! This means no proactive management of the listing is necessary on CuddlyNest.

To give hosts even a great promotional booster when using CuddlyNest, they can provide links to their vacation rental websites for no charge. This is a great opportunity that no other website than CuddlyNest offers. This way, hosts get far more clicks and inquiries on their websites. If they have no websites, they get inquiries on their Cuddlynest inbox and can choose to transact and pay on Cuddlynest platform or transact outside it.

Atop of all these privileges, CuddlyNest has a professional services department that fully lists properties on behalf of hosts who do not have time to relist their VR properties but want to advertise them on other popular VR sites starting with Cuddlynest. Hosts using major VR brands can get more visibility and exposure, and increase their chances of filling their rental calendar by using Cuddlynest.

Other great promotional opportunities include social media and featured homes viewing. No other VR website in the market can beat this!

Another fact hosts need to accept when using vacation rental websites is that they need to conform to one method of payment: website booking with a surprising fee that usually leaves guests unhappy at checkout. Guests need to add this amount of fee to the overall booking cost, which they could spend touring around the city and enjoying their vacation. This fee usually varies between 18% -25%. This is a lot of money added especially for stays of more than a few days.  So, how does CuddlyNest eventually guarantee to have happy hosts and no run-away guests? Right from the time a host lists the property, they set up the payment method, which could be completed through CuddlyNest or off-site.

• Choosing to get paid via CuddlyNest means hosts can absorb, share, or get the guest pay the small booking fee of 9% booking- compared to a minimum of % 18 on other websites.
• Choosing to get paid off-site means that the host’s contact information will not be blanketed. Hosts and guests can communicate and arrange whichever payment method both parties agree on. In this case, CuddlyNest will not charge any booking fees from any party.

If the property is not available on CuddlyNest, guests who like to avoid paying booking fees can simply request the host to synch her property from other unicorn sites – where booking fees are mandatory- to CuddlyNest.

But what about other options like business-friendly listings and instant booking? Does a host have to give up these choices when using CuddlyNest? Absolutely not, hosts can still enjoy listing their business- friendly properties, list all their amenities and provide a great work environment and comfort for business travelers. Guests who want to book a listing in a hotel-like experience- no waiting to communicate with the host- can also find their perfect retreat and get it reserved in a click of a link.
