We’re excited to announce that soon, guests visiting the Outer Banks Home Owners Association (OBHOA) website will be able to search specifically for beach houses with certified grade ratings. This new feature will allow guests to refine their search by home size, location, and grade level, ensuring that their next stay meets the highest standards of quality and hospitality.
Short-Term Value of Certification
While we develop this search capability, the current most effective way for property owners to leverage their certification is by prominently featuring the grade in the property descriptions on their property manager’s website. This visibility has already proven to enhance guest confidence and drive more bookings, as certified-grade properties stand out for their excellence in maintenance and guest satisfaction.
Direct Booking Links for Convenience
Guests who explore certified-grade properties on the OBHOA website will continue to find direct links to the property manager’s reservation page. This ensures that, when guests wish to learn more or proceed with booking, they can do so seamlessly. This integration remains key to providing an efficient and user-friendly experience, taking potential guests from curiosity to confirmation with just a few clicks.
A Game-Changer for Discerning Travelers
The influence of certification is profound, particularly for guests who prioritize quality. Knowing a property has been certified to meet rigorous standards reassures guests of its superior upkeep and amenities. For many, this peace of mind is a deciding factor when choosing a beach house. Certified-grade properties become a clear favorite for discerning travelers who seek exceptional stays that reflect their standards.
Strengthening the Preferred Guest Membership
The OBHOA’s Preferred Guest Membership program continues to grow, attracting those who want more than a typical rental experience. Members of this program are committed to selecting only the best properties available. As a result, your certified-grade beach house becomes a pivotal element in meeting the demands of this elite group, helping maintain the program’s success and boosting your bookings.
As we roll out the new search feature, we anticipate it will become an essential tool for guests seeking the best of the Outer Banks. Certified-grade properties will be front and center, catering to those who demand high-quality vacation experiences. This service not only enhances guests’ ability to find their perfect beach house but also positions certified properties as premier choices for maximum bookings and revenue.
Stay tuned as we continue to elevate the vacation experience in the Outer Banks, one certified-grade beach house at a time.
