Coaching the next generation of winning vacation rental hosts

What do a legendary football coach and a five-star vacation rental have in common? More than you might think! In this episode of Powering Travel, host Tim Rosolio sits down with two guests to talk vacation rental hosting tips and what separates a good host from a great one. First up is Helen Melluish, VP of Integrated Marketing at Vrbo, who unpacks how the concept of a coach — someone encouraging and focused on discipline and quality — inspired Vrbo's new Marketplace campaign to help hosts raise their standards. Then Tim welcomes Kyle Whittingham, one of the most respected head coaches in college football, to bring that coaching mentality to life. Kyle explains how attention to detail makes a stay memorable, what it means to be "all in," and why consistency is the key to 5-star hosting. Together, Kyle and Helen make the case that great hosting isn't just about a beautiful property. It's about habits, discipline, and the kind of consistency that keeps guests coming back.
