By keeping your vacation rental property in excellent condition and filled with attractive
amenities that make it easy for guests to enjoy their time away from home, you can increase
your bookings and get better reviews. Whether you have an outdated property that is in need
of a facelift or a property that you are looking to spruce up a little bit, here are some easy
upgrades to increase the value of your vacation rental.
Versatile Sleeping Spaces
When it comes to renting any vacation property, you never know what configuration your
guests will want to sleep in. Vacation rental properties are incredibly popular, so they might be
rented by friend groups, large families, or multiple couples for a group trip. As a result,
investing in versatile sleeping spaces is a great way to increase the value of your vacation
rental. Instead of just focusing on traditional beds, include other types of sleeping options, like
trundle beds or bunk beds that can accommodate additional guests.
Spruce Up the Bathroom
Many people come to vacation rental properties with background experience in booking a
room in a hotel. As a result, their expectations can be a little bit elevated. An easy way to
increase the value of your vacation rental is sprucing up the bathroom and offering basic
amenities, like complimentary robes and sample-size toiletries.
Get Smart
Smart home technology is everywhere now, and it’s an easy way to offer more amenities for
your guests and increase the value of your vacation rental. For example, automated front doors
that have a code that is reset at the end of each stay make it easy for large groups to come and
go as they please — and you don’t need to worry about keeping track of a key.
Free Wi-Fi
Free Wi-Fi is an expectation nowadays, so if you do not currently offer it, adding free Wi-Fi to
your property is a great way to increase the value of your vacation rental. Wi-Fi makes it easy
for your guests to spend time at the property, stream their favorite movies and shows, and get
work done if they need to.
Vacation Extras
Finally, particularly if you want to start specializing in longer-term rentals, investing in a variety
of vacation amenities is a great idea. For example, make sure that the kitchen is full of anything
that the average guest might need to cook dinner multiple nights a week, like pots and pans
and cutlery. Consider filling a closet with some family activities, like cornhole sets or frisbees. By
putting a little bit of effort into making your property a nicer place to stay, you can expect to
attract a nicer level Of customers.
