5 Reasons Why You Need Professional Photography for Your Airbnb, VRBO, and Vacation Rental Property

If you own an Airbnb, VRBO, or vacation rental property in the Monterey Peninsula—whether in Pebble Beach, Carmel, Big Sur, Pacific Grove, or Seaside—you already know how competitive the market is. Guests are scrolling through dozens of listings at once, and first impressions are everything. That’s where professional photography makes all the difference.

Here are five key reasons why investing in professional vacation rental photography helps your property stand out and get booked faster:

Professional Photographer for Airbnb and Vacation Rental Properties in Pebble Beach Carmel Monterey and Pacific Grove

Have you been wanting a way to make your Airbnb or vacation rental property stand out? Having professional photos made is the best way to stand out from all the other local listings that use merely unedited cell phone photos.

Experience matters when photographing an Airbnb

I am an experienced Airbnb and vacation rental property photographer, which is different than shooting a house for residential sale. I shoot an Airbnb and vacation listing differently, specifically for appealing to Airbnb guests. I know what to look for as I have been staying at Airbnbs for over 10 years myself! I am available right here based in Pacific Grove and serving the Pebble Beach, Monterey, Carmel, and Big Sur areas.

Luxury Carmel California Airbnb Property with its own Putting Green!

First, thank you to Adelle of Murrer Construction for introducing me to Bill and Penny to photograph their amazing luxury Airbnb property in Carmel, California. It was Adelle’s team that did this amazing renovation to the house and exterior. Properties like this are a pleasure to photograph to highlight all the details that went into the design and then staging of each room. This Airbnb has four bedrooms and so much outdoor living space! Which kitchen is better, the one in the house or the one out on the patio?? Then if you want to get in some golf practice before you go to the course, there is a large putting green for a backyard! I sent the drone up to show the property from a bird’s eye view, as well as to show its proximity to Carmel Beach and Pebble Beach Golf Resort. When guests see the listing on Airbnb, they will know from up close and nearby what they get when they choose to rent this amazing Airbnb! Thank you again Adelle, Bill, and Penny!

Carmel Airbnb Photography for a cozy cottage on Torres St

Melissa did a fantastic job of preparing her Airbnb property in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California for its first photography day of two. I will return to get twilight shots and more exterior shots in the near future. This photo focussed on the main living space, the dining room, and the two bedrooms. I worked closely with Melissa to photograph just the spaces from the angles that were the most photo ready. It was a true team effort on this Airbnb photo shoot in Carmel. Thank you for choosing me as your Airbnb Photographer Melissa!
