Google rich results this unlocks

VacationRental is a structural type. It does not produce a rich result on its own.

Its value comes from combining it with a primary type whose markup earns a rich result (Article, Product, Event, and so on). VacationRental becomes the trunk that the primary type branches off viamainEntityorbreadcrumb. Include it on every page as the backbone of your markup.

Common VacationRental mistakes

Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.

  1. 01

    Using Apartment for a VacationRental

    Wrong
    Apartment (Accommodation subtype) for a whole-unit rental listing
    Right
    VacationRental for short-term rentals as a business; Apartment for the residential unit itself

    VacationRental is a LodgingBusiness with checkin/checkout; Apartment is an Accommodation without business semantics. Travel aggregators read VacationRental.

  2. 02

    VacationRental without amenityFeature

    Wrong
    VacationRental with only room count
    Right
    Populate amenityFeature with kitchen, Wi-Fi, parking, hot tub, etc.

    Vacation rental searches are amenity-driven. Missing features loses a primary filter.
