In the competitive world of vacation rentals, providing a memorable experience can help you get five-star reviews and repeat bookings. One of the most effective ways to elevate your vacation rental property is by offering unique amenities that guests will not only appreciate during their stay but will also talk about long after they’ve checked out. What are today’s travelers looking for? What simple things can help your property stand out from the pack? Here are some of the best vacation rental amenities that can make your property unforgettable.
A Fully Stocked Coffee and Tea Bar
Almost everyone starts their day with a cup of coffee or tea, and offering basic vacation rental amenities to make the morning more comfortable will make a great impression without costing you too much. A well-thought-out coffee and tea bar can set your property apart. Instead of a basic coffee maker and cup or two, create a cozy station with a variety of options like:
- High-quality coffee beans, K-cups, and/or a selection of teas
- A coffee maker or Keurig and an electric kettle
- Flavor add-ons like syrups, coffee creamer, and sweeteners
- Bonus touches like mugs and to-go cups
This adds a touch of luxury and shows that you care about providing a personalized experience. Guests who love their morning coffee ritual will remember and rave about this extra attention to detail.
Tech-Savvy Entertainment Options
While many guests are looking to disconnect and relax, others appreciate having modern conveniences available. Some easy modern entertainment options to offer as vacation rental amenities include:
- Streaming Services: Offer access to popular streaming platforms like Netflix, Hulu, or Disney+
- Game Consoles: For properties catering to families, bachelor parties, or younger travelers, consider adding a gaming console with a selection of games
- Bluetooth Speakers: Bluetooth speakers allow guests to play their own music inside or by the pool
These modern amenities might be a little investment, but they show that you understand the needs of today’s travelers and want to offer a premium experience.
Beautiful Outdoor Spaces
Many people visiting Sanibel Island are looking to spend time outside and on the beach. While you can’t bring the beach to your backyard, you can create a memorable outdoor experience. Some of the most in-demand outdoor vacation rental amenities include:
- Fire Pits: A fire pit with comfortable seating offers guests a perfect place to unwind and relax as a group at the end of the day
- Hot Tub: A hot tub is a luxe amenity that appeals to many travelers, especially active travelers who are spending the day walking around
- BBQ Grill: For rental properties that cater to families or groups, an outdoor dining area makes it easier for guests to cook and dine together and helps to create a home-away-from-home experience.
These outdoor amenities add a lot of value for vacationers, so you can also typically increase the amount that you’re charging for a stay depending on comparable properties. We can help you ensure that your rental rate reflects the work you’ve put into the inside and outside of your property.
