At $395, the Beach Bundle is built for properties up to 2 bedrooms (studios, condos or small houses) and includes 25–45 HDR interior and exterior photos, 2 drone photos, 1 drone video clip, and either a walkthrough video or one social media reel.

The Island Bundle is built for larger homes and villas and includes 45–75 HDR photos, 4 drone photos, 3 drone video clips, and either a walkthrough video or one reel. The standard rate of $795 for the Island Bundle is for 3 and 4 bedroom properties. If your property is larger than 4 bedrooms a surcharge will apply and can be purchased at the time of booking as an Add-On. If your property is a 3 bedroom condo (such as at Anchorage in St. Thomas) please reach out for a discount code.

Yes — both bundles include aerial photos and at least one drone video clip, captured by an FAA Part 107 licensed pilot. Aerial coverage is condition-dependent, meaning we won't fly in unsafe weather or restricted airspace. If we can't fly on your scheduled shoot day, we'll reschedule the aerial portion at no charge.

If your property is located in the “0” zone on this map, we will need at least a 4 day notice prior to the shoot to make an appointment with the St. Thomas airport. Please inquire with any questions or concerns.

Before we arrive, the property should be guest-ready: beds made, surfaces clear, dishes put away, blinds open, lights on, fans off and personal items stored. We can send a full prep checklist after you book, upon request. We also provide on-site staging assistance, furniture-straightening and de-cluttering recommendations during the shoot — it's included in every package.

No — it is not necessary to be present for the entire shoot, or even at arrival. As long as we have access to the property (a lockbox code, smart lock, key handoff with a property manager or neighbor, or similar), our photographer can complete the shoot independently. If you'd like to be there for any part of it — to unlock specific areas, walk us through special features, or just say hello — you're welcome to, but it's never required.

Shoot length depends on your bundle. The Beach Bundle (up to 2 bedrooms) takes approximately 2 hours on-site. The Island Bundle (3–4 bedrooms) takes approximately 3–4 hours. Properties with 5+ bedrooms typically run about 4 hours. We'll confirm an estimated time window when you book so you can plan your day around it.

Final edited photos and videos from our Bundles are delivered within 24-48 hours of your shoot. You'll receive via email a private gallery link where you can download originals in a web-optimized format. Note: Promo videos can take 5-7 days for delivery.

We'll work with you to either reschedule the full shoot or split it — completing the interiors as planned and returning for exteriors and drone footage on a better-weather day at our discretion. Living in the USVI, we understand how unpredictable the forecast can be days away, so we don't charge to reschedule for weather out of our can't control.

We are based on St. Thomas, but we shoot across all four U.S. Virgin Islands — St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix. For that, St. Thomas shoots have no travel charge. but the other islands shoots incur a travel fee to cover ferry or inter-island travel costs and time, which we'll go over before you book.

LifestyleAI transforms your existing property photos into story-driven scenes with faux guests— imagine your patio with a family enjoying a sunset dinner, or your living room mid-morning with coffee on the table. It helps guests picture themselves at the property before they book. The service is $20 per photo with no minimum and is only available for photos originally taken by MBVI -a much more affordable alternative compared to hiring and shooting with models.

Note: AI-enhanced images are intended for digital use only and aren't recommended for large-format printing.

It's a one-time service that includes optimal arrangement of your listing photos, optimized listing title and descriptions, photo captions, and an amenity audit. It's discounted when bundled with a media package and is also available as a stand-alone service. We also offer a Rate Research & Analysis add-on that pairs with it to make sure your nightly rates aren't leaving money on the table.

Yes. 360° virtual tours are a popular add-on for both vacation rentals and real estate listings — they let guests walk through the property from any device before booking. Optional companion add-ons include 2D floor plans and 3D dollhouse models. You can add a tour à la carte or bundle it with photography for a discount.

A walkthrough video is a continuous-recording tour that shows the property in real spatial sequence with light background music — great for buyers and bookers who want to "feel" the layout with the option to skip to a certain space.

A highlight video is a shorter, edited piece that strings together the property's best moments — key rooms, standout features, and a few exterior beats — set to music. It's ideal for Airbnb's main listing video slot, your website hero, and Instagram Reels or TikTok.

A promo video is the full cinematic treatment, combining interior, exterior, and aerial footage with music, pacing, and optional text overlays — built to sell the lifestyle, not just the layout. Promo videos with on-property models are available as a premium add-on as well.

Yes! Our stock media gallery offers professional photos and vertical video clips of iconic Virgin Islands locations — from scenic beaches and aerials to marine and on-the-water content — ready to license for your own marketing use. Choose a Basic License for website, Airbnb/VRBO, email, and organic social use, or a Marketing License if you also want to run paid ads or print materials (with credit). Photos are sold individually or in Scenic and Marine Collections, and vertical reel clips are available by location or in discounted 3- or 5-location bundles. All licenses are for your own business use only — resale, sublicensing, and exclusivity rights aren't included.

Yes — we're a full media and marketing company. Beyond photography and video, we build custom websites for vacation rentals (with one year of minor maintenance included), provide SEO and Google Ads management, design logos, and create flyers and brochures for print or digital. These services are discounted when bundled with a media package.

Yes — when you book a shoot with us, you get a license to use the delivered photos and video across your listing platforms (Airbnb, VRBO, MLS, etc.), your own website, your social media accounts, and your printed marketing materials. However, the media cannot be sold or transferred to another party to use without them purchasing a license prior to use. Per our Website Terms of Use, MEDIABOOST.VI retains copyright on all content, and use beyond what's covered in your license agreement requires written consent. If you're unsure whether a specific use is covered, just ask.

No. Your license is for your own use to market your specific property and business. Sharing, reselling, or sublicensing the photos to home owners, property managers, real estate agents, or stock sites requires a separate written license agreement. This protects both your investment and the original content.

Yes. drone pilots of MBVI are FAA Part 107 certified. Hiring an unlicensed pilot for commercial use and using illegal drone media puts you at risk, not just the pilot, even after the flight is over.
