AI review of this page — 4 things to look at— each shows where it is on the page

1. 1

   Cookie consent modal: 'Accept all' / 'Only necessary' buttons overlaying 'Popular homes in Big Bear Lake' listings

   The full-screen cookie modal completely blocks the primary browsable content (listing cards) on first load. Replace with a slim bottom banner so users can immediately see and interact with listings, reducing abandonment from frustrated users who can't see what they came for.

2. 2

   'Start your search' search bar — no date, guest, or destination pre-fill

   The search bar shows only a generic placeholder with no suggested destination, dates, or guest count. Adding a pre-filled or contextual prompt (e.g., 'Where to? Add dates for exact pricing') or a set of quick-tap destination chips directly below would reduce friction and increase search initiation, which is the primary conversion action.

3. 3

   'Log in' icon in the bottom nav bar (tile 2)

   Unauthenticated users see 'Log in' as a cold tab with no incentive copy. Adding a subtle badge or tooltip like 'Log in to save wishlists' ties the action to a visible user benefit (the heart/wishlist icons visible on every listing card), increasing sign-up/login rate and enabling personalisation.

4. 4

   Section header 'Explore experiences nearby' with 'Cultural tours', 'Outdoors', 'Art workshops' category tiles

   Experience categories show no price anchor or 'From $X' teaser, unlike the listing cards above them. Adding a starting price beneath each category label (as done for individual listings) would set expectations and increase tap-through to the Experiences vertical, especially important since it carries a 'NEW' badge in the top nav.
