Welcome Guide - Tiki House

Here is a good example.  Even though it is in my Welcome Book, guest almost always ask me on their first night how to turn on the pool lights.  In my “Pool Lights” Story, there is a description AND a picture of the switch.  Guest easily get the link in a text and can bring it up on their phone as they search.  There is no limit to what you can share with guests in a Story.

Pool Lights

 Guide isn't the only Guide with informational Stories.  Anytime I get a question from a guest or potential guest, I evaluate whether that can be a Story or not.  Thanks to my guests, I have written Stories on 

Drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death in children ages 1 to 4. There is no way to drown proof a pool, ocean, or child, contrary to what you may have heard. The strongest swimmers can drown when presented with unexpected...

Water Safety ~ Pay Attention

These Stories have led to more Guides to organize these Stories as well.  Our 

 Guide has links in Stories to NOAA's “

Travel Insurance -Before It's Too Late.”

Storm Watchers Only!

 Guide focuses on beach safety and beach interest articles with Stories on 

 and "Using the Weather for Perfect Photos at the Beach."   

We love Pensacola Beach in all weather! Sometimes the best time to hit the beach is when the weather is less than conventionally ideal. Rain, fog, storms or just clouds can be beautiful. We get so many sunny, clear days that it is special when the...

Using the Weather for Perfect Photos at the Beach

The main reason for writing Stories and putting them in Guides available to the public goes beyond helping my guests.  It gives me an opportunity to advertise that we are a great place for families that provide so many amenities for them.  It also gets our home out there in the digital world for others to find and hopefully some day book a week. 

A researcher recently found my Story on “What Color is the Vacation of Your Dreams?”  I saw an article on the effects of color on mood and it made me think.  This is a great reason to visit Tiki House!  People love our interior as much as they love our views!  The researcher would never have visited a vacation rental home site to do her research, but there she was!  She may never rent my home, but perhaps the next time she is in the market for a rental vacation home, she may come back to Houfy and rent YOURS!

Why I Write Stories on Houfy?

Once I listed on Houfy, things changed immediately for me.  The Welcome Book PDF with hyperlinks and the on-property Welcome Book are still there.  But when the questions come, I no longer have to send a long-winded reply with links and pictures.  I send a quick link to my Story or Guide that answers the question(s).

Tiki House is more than a vacation rental. It is our vacation home!  We purchased the home in 2015 because it is located in a quiet residential area right on the beach and the Gulf of Mexico. This beautiful area is full of beautiful homes, quiet beaches with the Emerald Coast's signature white sand. It is still close enough to walk, ride a bike on the trails, or take the free trolley during the summer to restaurants, bars, and shops. Or you could head east to the visit some of the most beautiful and preserved beaches that are part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore. But we chose Tiki House specifically for its charm, character and amenities.  It has the largest private pool on the beach (according to our pool pro) and the perfect views from its many decks.  We want to make a stay at Tiki House as wonderful and memorable an experience for you as it is for us. Dedicated to making Tiki House THE vacation home of your dreams. We love Tiki House and know you will too!
