Takeaways about the Pandemic's Impact on STRs

Elizabeth Weedon | 3/7/2022
Although we haven’t been able to put the pandemic in the rear-view mirror quite yet, it isn’t too early to take a look at some of the lasting impacts the pandemic has made on the Cape and Islands short-term rental industry. WeNeedaVacation owner Joan Talmadge and I sat down together recently and did just that. We have observed some trends and conditions that may have actually started before the outbreak of COVID but have become even more noticeable since. Some include trends in booking and vacationer expectations and some are simple changes in the way homeowners manage their rentals. Watch as we share our observations, based on both our personal experiences in managing our own rental homes and on what we hear from fellow rental homeowners.
About Elizabeth Weedon

About Elizabeth Weedon: I have worked for WeNeedaVacation.com since 2008, and I've been a loyal homeowner listed on the site since early 1998. An enthusiastic member of the Homeowner Support Team, I provide fellow Cape and Islands vacation rental homeowners with advice about online marketing and rental management techniques to ensure them a successful rental experience each season. In addition to phone and email support to our homeowners, I also create and edit much of the content on our website, as well as our Homeowner Blog and monthly newsletters. I am also the Press & PR Coordinator for the company, responsible for drafting our press releases and responding to press inquiries and interviews. I grew up summering on the Vineyard, where I have managed my family's rental home since the mid-1980's, and I'm passionately devoted to the Island. My husband and I live in Wellesley where we have raised our 2 grown kids and our Black Lab, Maisie.
