Every vacation rental has some kind of local guide. Very few have one that guests actually rave about. The difference? Insider knowledge that feels exclusive and personal.
What Makes a Guide Great
- Personal voice: Recommendations feel like they're from a friend
- Specificity: "Order the fish tacos at Maria's" beats "lots of good restaurants nearby"
- Insider knowledge: Things a Google search wouldn't reveal
- Honesty: What to avoid matters as much as what to visit
