Hi all!

With the arrival of the new VacationRental data structured feature (this markup comes from 2015) announced by Google I have to tell that I miss something on it: the option of adding offers. Is something I miss in other types such as Hotel or any other LodgingBusiness. I know I can use a multiple entity for adding Product type but, don't you think offers property is suitable for some types that are related to monetary transactions?

Probably I'm missing something that I don't see yet.

Awaiting for your thoughts.

Greetings.

There's no need for an MTE, you can simply make use of makesOffer given that VacationRental is a subtype of LocalBusiness.

Maybe useful is our initial work from back in 2016 or so:

You see it? I was missing something. Thank you so much!

But the thing is that with makesOffer you miss the possibility of earning an alike Product Rich Snippet, because that Offer is not related to a Product type.

Thank you! In line with the use of MTE that I mentioned.
