I also share my experiences hosting in Provincetown, Massachusetts, and offer practical tips for enhancing the value of your property—whether it's upgrading amenities, marketing hidden gems in your area, or catering to your guests' specific needs. Tune in to learn how to unlock the full potential of your short-term rental through the power of location!
