How to Create and Publish a Listing on Vidle Housing

The more complete and accurate your listing is, the easier it is for travelers to understand your property and decide whether it's the right fit for their stay. Follow the steps below to create and publish your listing.

Go to the Vidle Housing website and click Sign In. Once logged in, select My Listings from the left-hand navigation menu.

From here, you can view and manage all of your active and draft listings.

In the top-right corner of the My Listings page, click Create a Listing. You'll then be directed to the listing setup page, where you can begin adding your property information.

Start by providing the basic details and descriptions for your property.

Select the option that best describes what travelers will be booking:

Select your property type:

Your Internal Name is for your reference only and is not shown publicly to travelers.

Examples include:

Using a clear internal name can make it easier to identify and manage your properties, especially if you have multiple listings.

Your External Name is the public display name travelers will see when viewing your property.

Choose a name that clearly represents your property and helps travelers easily identify the listing.

Create a clear and appealing title that highlights the property's best features.

For example:

Cozy One-Bedroom Townhome in the Heart of the City

Consider highlighting features travelers commonly search for, such as proximity to hospitals, furnished accommodations, pet-friendly options, parking, or in-unit laundry.

Provide a detailed overview of your property and what travelers can expect during their stay. Consider including information about:

Your description should be accurate and should not include personal contact information or instructions to communicate or book outside of Vidle Housing.

Use this section to explain the layout of the property and provide additional details about the space.

You may want to include:

Explain any helpful information about accessing the property or surrounding area.

This may include general directions, nearby major roads, landmarks, public transportation, parking information, or building access details.

For security, do not include sensitive check-in information such as door codes, lockbox combinations, or specific key locations in the public listing description.

Enter the correct number of:

Make sure this information accurately reflects the property travelers will receive. Accurate sleeping arrangements and occupancy information help travelers determine whether the property fits their needs.

Upload up to 25 high-quality photos that accurately represent your property.

For the best results, include photos of:

Use clear, well-lit, recent photos and avoid uploading duplicate, blurry, heavily edited, or misleading images.

Your first photo is especially important because it may be the first image travelers see when browsing available properties.

You can also add a video walkthrough of your property to help travelers better picture the space and understand the property's layout before booking.

A video walkthrough can be especially helpful for showing:

For the best experience, make sure your video is clear, current, and accurately represents the property being offered.

All photos and videos must accurately represent the property. Listings containing media copied from unrelated properties or that do not accurately represent the listing may be reviewed or removed for safety and fraud prevention.

Set your pricing for a 30-day stay, along with any applicable fees, such as:

Vidle Housing specializes in mid-term stays with a minimum stay of 30 days, so make sure your pricing accurately reflects the monthly rate you're willing to accept.

Vidle Housing offers a Pricing Calculator to help you determine a suggested monthly rate for your property.

Many traveling healthcare professionals receive a housing stipend as part of their assignment compensation. The Pricing Calculator provides a suggested rate to help you consider pricing that may be competitive for travelers searching in your area.

The suggested rate is a recommendation only. You remain in control of your listing price and can choose the monthly rate that works best for your property.

If your listing is synced through a PMS or another platform, pricing may be imported automatically. For example, a nightly rate may be multiplied by 30 to calculate an estimated monthly price.

If this does not accurately reflect your desired monthly rate, you can set your own price on Vidle Housing and use Sync Settings to lock pricing so future syncs do not overwrite it.

Keeping your pricing accurate is important. Pricing discrepancies can lead to traveler frustration, declined reservations, and missed booking opportunities.

Vidle Housing does not currently support security deposits directly through the platform.

If you require additional payments, you may submit Money Requests through the reservation for up to $150 at a time and up to $1,000 total per reservation.

Per the Vidle Housing Terms & Conditions, any additional payment requirements, lease agreements, or fees must be clearly disclosed in your House Rules or Additional Rules section prior to booking.

Requests for payment outside of the Vidle Housing platform are strictly prohibited.

Select all amenities and features that accurately apply to your property.

Common amenities travelers may look for include:

Traveling healthcare professionals often stay for several weeks or months at a time, so practical amenities that make a property comfortable for an extended stay can be especially valuable.

Only select amenities that are actually available to guests.

Enter the property's complete and accurate address, including:

The exact property address is not publicly displayed to travelers before a reservation is confirmed. However, accurate location information is necessary to help travelers find relevant listings during their search and understand the property's general location.

Important: Always enter the property's actual address. Incorrect or mismatched addresses may result in the listing being reviewed or removed.

Provide important information about your property's occupancy rules, guest expectations, and check-in and check-out process.

Enter the maximum number of guests allowed to stay at the property.

You'll be able to select the house rules that apply to your property, including:

If a box is checked, that activity or option is allowed at the property. If a box is not checked, it means it is not allowed.

Make sure your selections accurately reflect your property's rules so travelers clearly understand what is and isn't permitted before booking.

Use the Additional Rules section to include any other requirements travelers should know before booking, such as:

Any additional payment requirements, lease agreements, or fees must be disclosed here before a reservation is booked.

You must select both a check-in time and a check-out time before you can continue with your listing setup.

Choose times that accurately reflect when your property will be ready for arrival and when travelers are expected to leave at the end of their stay.

Provide detailed instructions travelers will need to successfully access the property.

Check-in information may include:

Check-in instructions are provided to the traveler before arrival, so it's important to keep this information complete and current.

For confirmed reservations, hosts should review their check-in instructions before the traveler's arrival to make sure all access details are accurate.

Before publishing, carefully review your entire listing and confirm that:

Once all required information has been completed, click Publish to make your listing available to travelers searching on Vidle Housing.

If the Publish button is gray and you are unable to click it, this means required information is still missing from your listing.
