Tell us a bit about why Thanet is desirable as a short-term rental hotspot...
Thanet stands as an exceptionally desirable short-term rental hotspot for several reasons. The allure of its sandy beaches, such as the iconic Viking Bay in Broadstairs and the sweeping Margate Sands, draws visitors seeking a seaside escape. Beyond the beaches, Thanet is steeped in history, with landmarks like the historic Shell Grotto in Margate, Ramsgate Royal Harbour and the mediaeval architecture of Canterbury Cathedral nearby.
Moreover, Thanet serves as a cultural hub, hosting various events and festivals throughout the year, including the renowned Margate Bookie and Broadstairs Folk Week. The thriving arts scene, embodied by the Turner Contemporary in Margate, adds a modern and creative touch to the area. What sets Thanet apart as an exciting prospect for short-term rentals is the seamless blend of high demand and accessibility. The district's popularity as a weekend getaway and holiday destination ensures a consistent influx of potential guests throughout the year. Moreover, the ease of travel, facilitated by efficient high-speed train services connecting Thanet to London, enhances its appeal to a broader audience.
With industry trends showing that fully managed properties in Thanet can potentially earn more than 15% higher daily rate and 20% higher occupancy, it’s a great option for hosts who want to up their revenue without the hassle!
