Vacation home renters want all the comforts of home…and more! If you're the owner of a vacation rental, it pays to invest in furnishing your rental with not only the basics, but with luxury touches not found in the average home. Most vacation rentals include the usual major kitchen appliances, but what about the many extras like a set of bar tools, a coffee grinder, a blender or waffle maker? Bedrooms and baths offer great opportunities to stand out from the masses. Picture a bed draped with romantic netting, high-count linens and piled high with cushy pillows. Stock the bathroom with large fluffy towels, decorator touches and a welcome set of upscale bath amenities. Don't forget the outdoors! A gas grill on the patio and an outdoor dining area around a pool or hot tub always draw praise from your guests. And, don't forget to look for ways to make your vacation home more kid-friendly and kid-proof, and more accessible to physically-challenged guests.
Study decorating and outdoor landscaping magazines for ideas that would make you say “WOW” in a vacation home. Ask your guests for suggestions or improvements that would add value to future stays.
