Map
Displaying prime locations prominently in hosted websites attracts more guests and commands higher rates.
Users can adjust their property location by navigating to Properties > their specific Property > Listing Content > Location > click on the pencil edit icon > Location Map, where you can configure the following.
- Click the Calculate latitude and longitude from address button.
- Drag the Exact Location map pin to your preferred spot.
- Uncheck the Show exact location publicly box, and the Approximate Location pin will appear, which you can then drag to the correct spot.
This map display option is only available on OwnerRez hosted websites. Property locations displayed on listing channels (e.g., Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, etc.) remain the same.
On & Off-site Activities
Hosts can configure a "Proximity" selection for on- and off-site activities, allowing them to specify whether each activity is On-Site or Off-Site. Configure them by navigating to Properties > your specific Property > Listing Content > Location > Sports & Adventure Activities, and check the activity checkbox.
Then click on the right-side checkbox to select on or off-site.
Unless configured otherwise, existing amenities default to Off-Site.
