Travelers are searching for a vacation rental that provides all the conveniences of home so they can focus on what matters most: their vacation. To make your listing more attractive, add these items to your amenities and make sure they're available when your guest arrives.
The kitchen itself is considered an essential amenity. Guests rent your vacation rental home to live like a local and feel as if they’re in their own home. So try to provide everything they might need for a home-cooked meal, perhaps a microwave for popcorn, and, of course, the all-important dishwasher.
For the pantry, the rule of thumb is: even if the renters will only use a small portion during their stay, then you should probably provide it. If you’re not able to provide some of the suggested items in the checklist, be sure to let your guests know ahead of time.
When stocking the bathroom, try to think of the things you use and make sure there’s enough of each item for each guest that will be staying in your property. Keep in mind that guests may have allergies or sensitivities to scents in the air fresheners and toiletries you choose.
Your living room, like your kitchen, is something most hotels don’t offer. For guests to enjoy this unique amenity, make sure there’s enough space for everyone staying, ensure a functioning entertainment center, and stock your living room with a few rainy-day activities.
There are plenty of “nice-to-have” items that can elevate your guests’ experience, but try to always provide the basic items below.
