“Block Island is a tiny, ferry-dependent summer market. Supply is limited, July and August are full, and guests plan their stays around ferry schedules. Most of the island closes in winter. I price summer high and weekly, and make sure arrival rules match the ferries.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
The moves Alaa makes first when a hotel or host in Block Island books a session, and the errors he corrects most often. Every one is set up inside your own pricing tool, so it keeps working after the call.
Price July and August on weekly stays, with July 4th highest.
Match check-in days to ferry schedules.
Price by distance to the ferry and beaches.
Use long weekends in June and September.
Close or offer low winter rates.

Most of the island closes, so I use this period to open next summer's weeks with confident rates and offer only a few long-stay options.
Weekend couples and early families arrive, so I price long weekends and, in the years Block Island Race Week runs, lift that week above its neighbours.
Supply is tiny and demand is high, so I hold weekly rates firm, keep July Fourth highest and refuse early discounts even when August weeks are still open.
Warm water and the bird migration attract couples, so I shorten stays to three or four nights and keep weekends firm while weekdays soften.
Ferries thin and businesses close, so I either close the home or offer simple long-stay rates for island workers.
One person does the thinking on your account. Choose the kind of help your property in Block Island needs; everything is remote, 1-on-1 and scheduled in your time zone.
For Block Island owners, I review your summer weeks, your shoulder rules and how well your arrival days fit the ferry. Then we set a plan that protects July and August, earns properly in June and September, and avoids discounts that limited supply does not need.
I set up your Airbnb and Vrbo strategy with you so summer weeks sell at the right level, long weekends work in the shoulder and arrival days match the boats, with clear notes on cars, luggage and the walk or taxi from the harbour.
For island inns and small hotels, my five-star background helps me manage a short season with limited rooms: pricing summer weekends firmly, setting minimum stays on the busiest dates and building simple packages for shoulder-season couples who come for the beaches and birding.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. Strong work!
Airbnb host
Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.
Property manager
Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!
Airbnb host
Guests plan around ferry times. Alaa sets check-in days and stays to match.
June and September work for long weekends. Winter is very quiet.
Many do not. Walking, bikes and taxis work well, especially near Old Harbor. I note in the listing how far the home is from the ferry and shops, and I price homes that work without a car slightly higher because they save guests the cost and stress of a car reservation.
Returning families often book months ahead, sometimes as soon as the season ends. I open the following summer early with rates set week by week and only change them if demand is clearly behind, rather than discounting simply because a week is still open.
