Each year, thousands of seasonal travelers make the great migration to warmer climates during the winter months. These south-flocking travelers (typically retirees) are referred to as “snowbirds,” and often hail from Canada. According to the Canadian Snowbird Association, 87% of its 100,000 members are or are planning to travel to the US this year. So, how can short-term rental owners reach more of these folks? We’ll cover how you can prepare your vacation rental for snowbirds, optimize your listing, and ultimately increase your bookings and revenue.
Popular snowbird destinations
If you’re wondering where snowbirds are heading, simply follow the warmer temperatures. Arizona, California, and Florida are popular destinations for seasonal visitors. At AvantStay, San Diego, Scottsdale, and Coachella Valley were some of the most booked destinations for the winter months this year. If you’re looking to purchase your first or next vacation rental home, consider buying in one of these top destinations for snowbirds:
Snowbirds will typically be traveling a long distance to enjoy your vacation rental (and staying for an extended period) so make it feel like their home away from home. Make sure your space is stocked and ready to welcome guests. From quality linens to a fully stocked kitchen and luxury bath products, don’t skimp on the vacation rental essentials. But don’t stress—we created a complete inventory checklist to help you become the host with the most.
Now, here comes the fun part. One of the easiest ways to make your home stand out is by providing top-of-the-line amenities. There are some amenities that snowbirds view as a need rather than a nice-to-have. These can make or break a good review, so invest in the following if you can:
Fast WiFi
Smart locks for contactless check-in
Smart TVs with streaming options
Workout equipment
Pet-friendly stays
Parking
Take it one step further and provide experiential elements and amenities for all kinds of activities. Use your location for inspiration. Is your home on the water? Have kayaks, paddle boards, and other water toys ready for snowbirds to enjoy. Outdoor fire pit? Don’t forget the roasting sticks and supplies for s’mores. If budget and space aren’t an issue, consider installing a putting green or pickleball court to make your rental shine.
Also, supply equipment like beach chairs and umbrellas, towels, pool floats, tennis rackets, and pickleball paddles. These details won’t go unnoticed and can lead to more bookings and higher ratings.
Optimize your vacation rental listing
Reach more snowbirds with a well-optimized listing. This is your first touchpoint with potential guests and entices them to book a stay. Start with your title, description, and keywords. Your title should describe your vacation rental and leave travelers compelled to click your listing.
Next, use your description to paint a picture of the guest experience at your home, including all the details that make your property stand out from the competition (especially the intangible perks like location!). Be sure to list your rental’s proximity to popular snowbird activities and attractions like beaches, golf courses, museums, tennis courts, dining, and more.
Also, don’t just list amenities—describe how guests can make their own memories at your home. Do you have a cozy patio perfect for enjoying morning coffee? Or a private pool and hot tub for relaxing after a day on the golf course? Use these in your listing to encourage snowbirds to hit that “Book Now” button.
When creating your title and description, incorporate search engine optimization (SEO) strategies to further boost your reach. Research search terms (“keywords”) that are popular in your market and add those to your listing. Some examples could be “private beachfront cottage in Destin” or “dog-friendly Palm Springs vacation rental.”
Another key component of your vacation rental listing is the imagery. Capture snowbirds’ attention with eye-catching photos. Hire a professional photographer to take high-resolution photos of your vacation rental that accurately reflect the space, amenities, views, and what guests can expect when they walk into your home.
Tweak your marketing strategy for snowbirds
Promoting your vacation rental on multiple online travel agencies (OTAs) gets your home in front of more snowbirds and means more potential bookings. Airbnb, Vrbo, Expedia, and Booking.com are popular OTAs for vacation rental homes. Also, promote your rental on niche sites specifically for seasonal travelers, like American Snowbird.
Make sure you understand each site’s criteria and functionality for listing your property and create a strategy for managing your listing across each. You’ll have to stay on top of guidelines, optimizing your listing, guest inquiries, reservations, and reviews for each platform to enhance your home’s performance.
Start a vacation rental blog
Show off your local expertise with a vacation rental blog. A blog is an easy way to increase your visibility on search engines. With a thoughtful SEO strategy and the use of relevant keywords, you can drive more traffic to your website and increase bookings.
Snowbirds appreciate recommendations and tips from a local. Pair your expertise with keyword research to write useful content for potential guests. Some examples of blog topics for snowbirds include:
Allocate some of your marketing budget to social media ads. Facebook and Pinterest make it easy to narrow your target audience. You can choose to show your ads to your ideal guest by using filters like location, age, interests, and more. This allows you to get the most out of your advertising budget while optimizing for bookings.
Welcome more snowbirds with AvantStay
Successfully running a vacation rental, especially if you don’t live in the area, is a heavy lift. From keeping your home stocked and clean to strategic marketing and distribution, there are a lot of moving parts. If you want to reach more snowbirds (and travelers all year round), partner with a professional vacation rental manager.
AvantStay offers end-to-end management programs to give you peace of mind. From financials to design to maintenance, we take care of your home as if it were our own. Our proprietary tech suite powers bookings, operationalizes in-field management, and activates an elevated guest experience. Plus, upgrades and experiences booked through our app can help snowbirds schedule tee times, organize at-home massages, request mid-stay cleans, and more! Say hello to more five-star ratings.

Big Bear has something to offer every season. The best time to visit Big Bear really depends on the kind of relaxing getaway you’re craving or needing. Here’s what to expect and how to prepare for the best possible trip.
❄️ Winter (December to March)
Visiting Big Bear during winter, from December to March, is perfect for snow lovers. It is a snowy wonderland where the ski and snowboard season is in full swing during this time, and the cozy cabin vibes are unmatched.
Our tip is to book early—this is Big Bear’s busiest time and houses rent out fast! Plus pack tire chains (they’re required by law during storms).
🌸 Spring (April to May)
Spring at Big Bear brings fresh mountain air, quieter trails, fewer crowds, and crisp mornings. It’s ideal for a peaceful solo mountain escape or a couples retreat. If you are looking for a calming and serene visit, try going during this time.
This is the best time to find deals on lodging before summer rates return. Our other tip is to bring layers of clothes as mornings and evenings here are still a bit chilly.
☀️ Summer (June to August)
When you visit Big Bear during summer, expect to have fun around the lake. It is lake season, think kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, and biking with warm evenings around the BBQ. The town buzzes with events, live music, and family-friendly energy.
Our tip is to pack sunscreen, reusable water bottles, and a cooler for lakeside lunches. Book lakefront homes early—they’re the first to go.
🍂 Fall (September to November)
The fall season in Big Bear is underrated and beautiful. It is a hidden gem where you’ll get to see colorful foliage, experience cool hiking weather, and enjoy better booking deals before ski season kicks in.
Our tip is to not forget hiking boots and a camera, as trails like Castle Rock and Pine Knot are gorgeous this time of year. It’s also a great time for lower rates & last-minute getaways.
✨ Our Best Tip
If you want both snow play and shorter lift lines, aim for early December or mid-March. For lake fun without peak season prices, June or September are your sweet spots.

Looking for the best things to do in Malibu? Below are the most iconic things to see and how to experience Malibu like a local.
1. Zuma Beach
One of Malibu’s most spacious beaches with lifeguards, bathrooms, and food stands—Zuma Beach is perfect for families. Arrive before 10 am on weekends to grab parking and beat the crowds.
2. Surfrider Beach
Right next to the Malibu Pier, Surfider Beach is a hot spot for surfers and photographers. Not a surfer? Grab a smoothie at Malibu Farm Cafe and stroll the pier for great views.
3. Solstice Canyon Trail
Solstice Canyon Trail is a peaceful hike featuring ruins, a small waterfall, and ocean views. Bring water and wear sturdy shoes—the trail gets rocky near the end.
4. Malibu Pier
Sunset is the best time for photos and fewer crowds. Snap oceanfront photos, then dine over the water at Malibu Farm Restaurant at Malibu Pier.
5. Malibu Country Mart
A stylish open-air mall with boutiques, wellness studios, and celebrity sightings. Malibu Country Mart is where you can try Sunlife Organics for smoothies and poke around the art galleries nearby.
6. Malibu Seafood
Malibu Seafood is an iconic, no-frills seafood shack across from the beach. Go early, though, as it’s walk-up only and lines get long!
7. Nobu Malibu
High-end sushi with panoramic views of the Pacific is what you can expect at Nobu Malibu. Reservations are booked weeks in advance, so plan ahead.
8. Rosenthal Wine Bar & Patio
Experience wine tasting just steps from the ocean, often with live music on weekends. Check their event calendar—some nights at Rosenthal Wine Bar & Patio feature food trucks and DJs.
9. Malibu Creek State Park
Great for hiking, rock climbing, or exploring historic filming locations. Malibu Creek State Park will make you pack sunscreen and layers, as shade is very limited on the hiking trails.
10. El Matador Beach
A hidden cove with dramatic cliffs and sea caves, but El Matador Beach is best explored at low tide. Wear sturdy shoes—it’s a steep walk down.
✨ Pro Tip: Malibu stretches 27 miles along the coast, so renting a car (or having Uber/Lyft handy) is the easiest way to hop between beaches, hikes, and restaurants. Cell service can be spotty in the canyons, so download maps in advance!

How to Plan the Perfect Wine Tasting Day in Sonoma
So you’ve booked your dreamy Sonoma Airbnb—now comes the fun part: planning your wine tasting adventure! Even if it’s your first trip or you’ve done the swirl-sniff-sip routine before, Sonoma’s wine scene is a little different from other places (we’re looking at you, Napa!).
Here’s a mini guide on what you need to know to make the most of the Sonoma County Wineries you’ll visit:
✅ 1. Make Reservations
While some larger wineries allow walk-ins, many boutique or family-run spots are by appointment only, especially in post-2020 times. So, don’t get caught off guard—always check the winery’s website or Google listing first. Booking ahead ensures a spot and often gives you access to more personalized tastings, such as private terraces, barrel tastings, or guided vineyard strolls.
⏰ 2. Space Out Your Tastings
We get it—it’s tempting to squeeze in all the wineries. But trust us, 3–4 tastings a day is plenty. Each tasting typically includes 4–6 pours, and you’ll want time to enjoy the atmosphere, explore the grounds, or just chill with a charcuterie board. Leave at least 1.5 to 2 hours per stop. This isn’t a race—it’s wine country.
💸 3. Expect Tasting Fees
Most wineries charge a tasting fee (usually $20–$50 or more), but many waive the fee if you buy a bottle or join their wine club. So, know the perks first! If you’re visiting with a group, ask about shared tastings—some wineries allow you to split one between two people.
🍇 4. Pick a Region and Stick to It
Sonoma is huge, with over 18 wine-growing regions (called AVAs) like Russian River Valley, Dry Creek, and Sonoma Valley. Driving between regions can eat up valuable wine time, so choose one area per day and plan your route accordingly. Many of the homes in this list are already near great wineries, so use that as your anchor.
🚗 5. Don’t Drink and Drive
Even with small tastings, it adds up. If you plan to visit multiple wineries, hire a driver, book a tour, or use a rideshare (just be mindful that some rural areas may have limited coverage). Want to splurge? Private drivers or guided wine tours make it easy to sit back and focus on the good stuff—wine, views, and vibes.
🧺 6. Pack for Comfort and Picnics
Wear comfy shoes, especially if the winery has vineyard walks or outdoor seating. Pack sunscreen, layers, as Sonoma mornings can be chilly, and a water bottle. Some wineries allow you to bring your own snacks or even picnic on their lawn—just be sure to check their policy first.
🛒 7. Buying Wine? Bring a Cooler!
If you’re buying wine, especially whites or sparkling, bring a cooler to keep bottles safe and fresh while you continue tasting. Not flying home? Many wineries offer shipping services, too.
❤️ 8. Be Curious & Ask Questions
You don’t need to be a wine expert—Sonoma is known for being laid-back and welcoming. Ask questions, try something new, and let your tasting host guide the way. They love to share their passion, and you just might leave with a new favorite varietal.
Sip Syrah on a sunny patio or enjoy a cellar tasting with new friends. Sonoma offers something for every wine lover

3. Summer by the Lake
Paddle, kayak, or swim your way through the warmer months at spots like Arrowhead Lake and Lake Harmony. Book a boat tour at Lake Wallenpaupack, or plan a beach day at one of the region’s many public swimming areas. Don’t forget your sunscreen and s’mores supplies.
4. Fall Color Tour
Poconos is famous for its leaf-peeping magic, and October is peak season for vivid foliage, especially on scenic drives through Route 209 or hikes at Shuman Point and Tobyhanna State Park. Pack your camera and your coziest sweater—this is autumn done right!

Know the Signs When Your Mind and Body Need a Pause
It’s very easy to feel overwhelmed today. Between work stress, endless screen time, and the pressure to keep up, many people find themselves burned out, distracted, or running on empty. Sometimes, your body and mind send clear signals that it’s time to slow down. But with busy schedules and constant distractions, those signs are easy to ignore.
Mental health and self-care are more important than ever. And paying attention to how you feel, both physically and emotionally, is the first step in your journey to mental stability and healing.
Here are some common signs that you might need to take a break and consider a digital detox:
You feel tired all the time, even after a full night’s sleep.
Small tasks feel overwhelming or unusually difficult.
You’re feeling stressed, anxious, or emotionally drained.
You’re easily irritated, on edge, or more reactive than usual.
You’ve lost motivation or interest in things you usually enjoy.
Your body feels tense, achy, or worn down.
You’re in doom-scrolling mode and always checking your phone.
You’re having trouble sleeping, focusing, or staying present.
You feel disconnected from yourself, others, or what matters most.
You just feel “off”—like something’s missing or out of sync
If any of these sound familiar, it’s your body and mind asking for attention. And one of the best ways to reset? A simple change of scenery. An active trip—especially one that’s quiet, tech-light, and close to nature—can help you recharge.
Whether it’s a solo retreat to clear your head or a weekend away with people who make you feel grounded, time off isn’t selfish—it’s smart. When you take care of yourself, everything else gets better, too.
Find Your Rhythm Again
Taking time away in nature can help bring you back to balance. Whether you’re sitting outside in the quiet, journaling in the morning light, or simply stepping away from your phone, these small moments of peace are the starting points for supporting your mental fitness, building emotional resilience, taking care of yourself, and reducing overall stress.
Coping with life isn’t just about escaping. It’s about choosing to slow down and reconnect with nature, your people, and your own well-being. Because when you feel rested, you think clearer, breathe easier, and return stronger.It’s not easy to break away from the lifestyle that you’re used to, but starting small are big steps to feel like yourself again.

Tips for Planning a Big Group Vacation in the Smoky Mountains
Planning a big trip with family, friends, or teammates sounds exciting—but getting everyone on the same page can feel like a challenge! Here are a few of our simple tips to make your upcoming gatherings easy.
Pick a House Built for Groups
Not all cabins are the same. Look for places with open living spaces, plenty of bedrooms, and big gathering areas (like the homes above!). It makes hanging out together way more fun and natural. The group-friendly homes featured in this blog are a great place to start your search!
Plan a Mix of Activities
Some people want to hike, and some just want to chill. Plan one or two group adventures—like visiting Dollywood or hiking Cades Cove—but also leave time for relaxing at the cabin, game nights, and lazy mornings with coffee. If you have limited ideas for your Smokies itinerary, get some more in this curated guide we made—Top 35 things to do in the Smoky Mountains year-round.
Split Up Meals and Chores
If you’re staying for a few days, make it easy: each family or group can take a night to cook dinner or plan breakfast. Big kitchens, BBQ areas, and lots of table space (like you’ll find in these homes) make it simple.
Pick a Central Location
Staying near Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg means you’re close to parks, shops, restaurants, and activities. Everyone can pick what they want to do without spending hours driving around. Plus, you’ll never want to miss visiting the nearby national parks!
Book Early for Big Groups
Big homes go fast—even if it’s in spring, summer, and fall, and especially in winter. Booking a home as early as today means you get the best spots with the best views (and sometimes even better rates!). To add, your group can still plan and save ahead for this trip.
✨ Choosing the right house for your group matters because when you have the right house, the right plan, and the right group, your Smoky Mountains trip will surely be a memory that lasts a lifetime. And these homes were picked to make it easy for you!

Our Tennis Traveler’s Guide: Know Before You Hit the Court
Did you know that a full match can burn up to 600 calories an hour? But even casual rallies offer great exercise and a whole lot of fun—no pro-level skills are required to play this sport.
Tennis is one of the most social and low-impact sports you can enjoy on vacation, making it a perfect activity for groups of all skill levels.
Many of our AvantStay homes also feature multi-use courts that double for pickleball or basketball, so everyone in your group can get in on the action, no matter their sport of choice.
What to Pack for a Tennis Getaway:
Tennis Racket & Balls – While some homes may have equipment, we recommend bringing your own rackets and balls for comfort and consistency.
Non-Marking Tennis Shoes – These tennis shoes are usually required on most courts to protect the surface (and your ankles).
Athletic Apparel – Make sure to pack breathable fabrics, hats, and sweatbands go a long way in warmer destinations.
Sunscreen & Water Bottle – Do not forget sun and dehydration protection, especially if you’re headed to Coachella Valley, Palm Springs, or Arizona.
A Small Towel or Wristbands – We all know the feeling of slimy hands. And with wristbands, it really helps for wiping off sweat between sets.

On land, stroll Fort Mason, which was built in the late 19th century and is one of the largest masonry forts in the United States.
The Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory invites families to stroll amongst dozens of species of butterflies and tropical birds in the botanical gardens. And after a day of family fun, water sports, and unique historical sites, stroll Duval Street, which is home to a variety of restaurants and boutiques with coastal flair.
Enjoy a quiet, quaint spring break on South Carolina’s Hilton Head Island! Renowned for its beautiful beaches, golf courses, and charming coastal towns, Hilton Head makes for an ideal family spring break destination.
With spring weather ranging in the low 70s and high 40s, spring break offers warm weather and plenty of opportunities for family fun.
Book one of our Hilton Head vacation homes for rest and relaxation during your spring break vacation. We offer both private pools and spacious properties with room for the whole family. We recommend stunning vacation homes like Bradley Circle Buyout, which consists of 3 units: 30 Bradley Circle, 24 Bradley Circle, and 20 Bradley Circle. All situated at a beachfront location.
Once you decide to explore outside of your vacation home, hop on a bicycle to pedal around on the more than 60 miles of bike paths the island offers. Other family-friendly Hilton Head activities we recommend include dolphin-watching excursions and water sports like SUP boarding, kayaking, jet skiing, parasailing, and more.
Hilton Head is also a renowned destination for golfers, so we recommend booking a tee time for your family or opting for mini golf to include the younger kids in your group.
Hawaii is a spring break destination unlike any other. We feature vacation homes on both Maui and Oahu, offering two different experiences on the Hawaiian archipelago.
Hawaii is known for having pleasant, warm weather year-round, and springtime is no different. Enjoy temperatures that range in the low to high 70s and plenty of activities for younger kids. Cross Hawaii off your bucket list by planning a spring break vacation for the entire family!
Oahu
Oahu is the most populated island of Hawaii and is a paradise for family fun and adventure. During your stay in one of our oceanfront rentals, head out to explore the white sand beaches, snorkel, or explore a family-friendly attraction like Kualoa Ranch, where you can take a horseback, ATV, or zipline tour!
Or if you are looking for an active way to find gorgeous views, select one of Oahu’s hiking trails in a state park to follow and enjoy the journey! Oahu is also home to other kid-friendly activities, including the Polynesian Cultural Center, the Honolulu Zoo, and treating yourself to delicious shaved ice.
To experience all this and more, book an Oahu vacation rental for your next spring break!
Maui
Maui is a quieter island than Oahu, but it offers no less excitement when it comes to stunning beaches and fun things to do! Maui’s most iconic beaches include Ka’anapali Beach, Wailea Beach, Napili Beach, and Honokalani Beach with its picturesque black sands.
Maui’s peak whale-watching season falls between January and May, which means that your spring break trip may overlap with an opportunity to see the blue whales. For a road trip of adventure, drive the Road to Hana, which offers breathtaking views, winding single-lane turns, and a handful of waterfalls. And if you want to trade your flip-flops for hiking boots, we recommend adventuring in the Iao Valley!
