This was a Guest Hook description, for this property we wanted to highlight the unique updates made to the listing + the awesome location.
After a year-long restoration project, we are thrilled to present Vivenda Vida Boa. Translating to The Good Life House in Portuguese, every inch of this property has been lovingly and thoughtfully restored to present an experience of upscale casual elegance.
Opting for a clean and uncluttered energy, you’ll find this property equipped for the most discerning guests. A fully stocked, gourmet kitchen awaits with features including both a Nespresso and a French press for the coffee connoisseurs in your group.
The living space displays the works of local artisans to complement a contemporary decor with a hint of mid-century style. Colors are serene and neutral and comfort is the standard. Wall-to-wall windows flood the space with natural light.
With three bedrooms and 2 full baths, there’s space to comfortably accommodate 6 people. The primary bedroom is on the second level and features a king bed, an ensuite bath and remote workstation along with the main living area and a powder room.
On the first level, the second bedroom offers a king and the third a queen. These two bedrooms share the large hall bath. Memory-foam Casper mattresses are featured on each of the three beds.
In an effort to accommodate our most sensitive guests, we have opted to create an allergen-free environment. This means there are no feathers, down, or carpeting in our home and a Blueair purifier in the primary bedroom.
The outdoor amenities are just as spectacular, with a large deck offering both a lounge and dining area. There’s even a space for your yoga practice. The sunny backyard features a Solo Stove, perfect for an evening of stargazing and a glass of wine.
Conveniently located to many of the area’s natural amenities, you’re literally steps from the ocean, and just a short walk to town or the state park, with its many recreation opportunities. Golf is one block away.
The town of Manzanita is an artist’s paradise, dotted with art galleries, boutiques, spas, and restaurants. Craft beer, cocktails, and farm-to-table cuisine are the norm.
Manzanita’s 7-mile long beach serves as the backdrop for the Neahkahnie Mountain and the Coast Range. Nature lovers flock here, in equal parts landlubbers and seapeople. You’ll find all manner of explorers, from hikers to surfers, and everything in-between.
Located right on the Oregon Coast Highway, Manzanita has long been considered one of the tiny treasures of the region. With a year-round population hovering somewhere around the 600 mark, Manzanita is located between Seaside and Tillamook, and yet a world apart with its quiet and charming vibe.
But with such a unique accommodation comes equally unique challenges. Like seasickness and not-your-average toilets. This host tackles any question a potential guest might have with grace and humor. Our favorite snippet is when he explains whether guests will feel rocking on the boat by saying:
“There is still a small amount of wave action and you’ll feel a slight rock from time-to-time, mostly from boats passing by who don’t respect the no wake zone (feel free to yell at them & shake your fist while doing so).”
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
This was a Guest Hook description, we wanted to update this after the homeowner moved away from a big-box national property manager and started to manage it on their own.
Start your next adventure and step into The Elk Mountain Lodge, our picturesque 3-bedroom cabin in the rolling landscape of Red Lodge, where you’ll be greeted with incredible views through floor-to-ceiling windows. Our carefully designed mountain retreat is the quintessential outdoor getaway, central to many of the adventures found under Montana’s expansive skies. Perfect for family fun, couples’ ski retreats, visits to Yellowstone (less than two hours out), and other activities for up to 8 guests!
Located on 2 acres of the gorgeous hillside, you’ll have plenty of space for sprawling out and enjoying the fresh mountain air in privacy. Get ready to take in clear night skies full of brilliant constellations from the back-patio hot tub— whether it’s a cold winter night or a fresh summer evening.
The Elk Mountain Lodge is fully equipped to be your home-away-from-home. The kitchen is furnished with stainless steel appliances, tile countertops, and of course, all you need for coffee each morning! Enjoy your meals together around the dining room table, or take it to the back patio for an epic barbecue.
After hiking through Yellowstone or skiing down a mountain, decamp to the family room for a movie night. This comfy space includes a flatscreen TV with streaming access and live TV via Youtube TV and WiFi. (A note about WiFi: because our area has only satellite internet, you’ll need to be aware of multiple devices. After all, we are in rural Montana!).
Or pour some hot cocoa and gather around the Great Room’s gas fireplace, looking out the windows at the expansive landscape. It’s especially idyllic when snow is falling softly! Montana is where rolling plains meet the Rocky Mountains, and we tried to capture that in our decor, using classic rustic details and Western flourishes to complement the panoramic views from each window.
Bedrooms include a master with a king bed and two queen bedrooms (for a total of three). Sleep two more on the queen sleeper sofa in the den, which has its own door for extra privacy. With two full bathrooms and one half-bath, there is plenty of space for everyone to keep up with daily routines before hitting the slopes or taking a trip into Red Lodge.
While Elk Mountain Lodge feels just the right amount of secluded, you’re still only 3 miles away from town. Red Lodge Mountain is only 4.6 miles out and is home to many outdoor adventures like fishing, whitewater rafting, and horseback riding. While you’re here, be sure to check out some fantastic hiking trails, including Silver Run, Lake Fork, Glacier Lake Trailhead, Beartooth All American Road, and more.
If you’re visiting during the summer, the golfing is fantastic, with Red Lodge Mountain Golf Course just a short drive away. Red Lodge also has plenty of options for dining, bar-hopping, and quaint coffee shops—it really is the quintessential mountain town. And Elk Mountain Lodge is the ideal home base for exploring the vast beauty of this special place! We hope to see you soon.
You know what you’re getting the moment this charming escape in the woods pops up in your search results, because the title tells you right away: “Whiskey Hollow, Cozy A-Frame Cabin in the Redwoods”. To-the-point, but at the same time ultra-descriptive, this title makes a great first impression and sets the scene for your stay.
The listing of this great Airbnb is just as informative. The description tells you how you can spend your getaway (“Snuggle up in the comfy queen bed in the loft, luxuriate in the oversized bathtub with candles, and cozy up in front of the wood fireplace”) and focuses on what an Airbnb guest would want to know about the property (“Felton offers two nearby markets: Wild Roots and Safeway”; “During the summer, we have a window air conditioning unit.”)
The extra details (“During your visit, please feel free to enjoy the television, board games, books, popcorn, coffee and tea”; “If you are bringing the little ones, let us know–we will set out the bins of Legos and trains!”) go a long way to convince guests this is the right place for them.
Even the photo captions provide rich and specific details (“Cozy living room with fireplace and a gorgeous view of the redwoods.”; “Roomy and fully outfitted kitchen with a brand-new gas range and dishwasher.”)

Outdoor activities (other than the beach, of course!) range from low-key pursuits like golf and kayaking, to adrenaline-pumping adventures like ziplining over the dunes, Wildlife-lovers will be in heaven here, with birdwatching at the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge, dolphin-watching cruises, and The Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo. Visitors love Gulf State Park for its beaches, trails, and pier. And that’s just the beginning!
“The Pearl” is located at 2625 West Beach Blvd Gulf Shores AL 36542
First and foremost, the voice here is so welcoming and engaging. It’s written in first-person POV, which we always advise. The opening description from this Superhost pulls you right in and makes you feel like you’re already there (“The Historic Canal Suites will have you surrounded by the most iconic Amsterdam sights when you’re out and about in the neighborhood, and steeped in rich Dutch culture when you’re relaxing in your suite built for luxury.”)
Meanwhile, this great Airbnb listing also clearly and concisely explains the home’s selling points right up front: “feature wall of windows complete with a windowsill built for sitting and sipping coffee” and “spacious bathroom that includes a walk-in rainshower with dual shower heads”. And it also puts big draws right there in the headline: “Luxurious Suite with Canal View in Heart of City.”
The listing description not only welcomes guests to the home, but welcomes them to Amsterdam and its culture. (“The building housing the suites is an authentic piece of Dutch history, built in 1637. Each suite is inspired by one of the great Dutch masters of the 17th century.”)

Welcome to “Heavenly Sunset,” a beachfront vacation rental that lives up to its name. This rental is one-half of a gorgeous Gulf-front property in Orange Beach, and it sits in the perfect spot to take in the sapphire waves, white sands, and golden sun of the Gulf. Not to mention the property’s excellent central location near everything you’d want to do in Orange Beach, Gulf Shores and Perdido Key, FL. It’s truly Heaven on Earth!

Or, rent both Heavenly Sunset AND its identical neighbor, Heavenly Sunrise, to sleep 30 people.

Sunset alone has 2,600 sq. ft. of space, plus three private, covered balconies. One balcony at the back of the house overlooks the pool, and two at the front face an expansive view of the Gulf and beach.
A huge, sparkling swimming pool, with lounge chairs and a shaded pergola, is shared between Sunrise and Sunset.

Name your favorite vacation activity, and you’ll likely find it here!
“Heavenly Sunset” is located at 23314 Perdido Beach Blvd. Orange Beach AL 36561
We love this one for its clear sense of its intended guest persona: the experience-loving urban explorer. This is the kind of guest who appreciates well-chosen listing details like “directly opposite the State Library lawn, where students lounge in the sun, buskers entertain & many historic celebrations & demonstrations have occurred.” The description is simple, short and to the point.
This listing even directly calls out who it’s best for, a tactic we definitely recommend: “Particularly suitable for music lovers, with a guitar and a record player for guests to enjoy.”
Lastly, this host also speaks to her target guests’ sense of adventure by offering insider expertise and tours of the “hidden pockets of Melbourne” for her guests—though she’s also clear that this is “upon request,” so that more introverted guests will know their vacation won’t be interrupted by a well-meaning host. Smart!
