Whether you’re a seasoned host or just starting out, these top tips from CollegeWeekends will help you elevate your rental to new heights of comfort and luxury, ensuring a memorable stay and 5-star experience for your guests.
First, let’s talk about how to enhance the interior of your rental:
Fully Stocked Kitchen
Make cooking a pleasure for your guests by providing high-quality cookware, appliances, and essentials like spices and coffee. Adding a wine cooler or a Nespresso machine adds a touch of sophistication and indulgence to their culinary experience.
Entertainment Hub
Create a cozy living space with a large smart TV, streaming services, and a selection of movies or games. Consider adding a sound bar for an immersive experience that will keep your guests entertained during their downtime.
Relaxation Zone
Everyone needs a place to unwind, so create a cozy nook with comfortable seating, soft throws, and a selection of books or magazines. For guests who prioritize wellness, consider providing a yoga mat or massage chair for some extra relaxation.
Bedrooms & Linens
Comfortable beds, preferably a King Size mattress, with cozy pillows and high-quality bedding (sheets, pillows, comfortable) are keys to ensuring your guests enjoy a great sleep. You may want to include other personal touches such as nightstand lamps (with USB/USB-C connectivity), additional blankets and pillows as well as potentially robes for your guests. Providing high-quality and sufficient towels, washcloths, soaps, shampoos are also must haves to create a 5-star experience.
Smart Home Technology
Imagine your guests’ delight when they find their rental equipped with smart devices like voice-controlled assistants, smart thermostats, and keyless entry systems. Not only do these features add convenience, but they also add a touch of modern luxury to their stay.
Now, let’s move on to the outdoor amenities that will truly set your rental apart:
Outdoor Kitchen and Barbecue Area
Enhance the outdoor dining experience with a fully equipped kitchen and barbecue area. Provide seating, lighting, and cooking utensils for memorable alfresco meals under the open sky.
Cozy Fire Pit
There’s something magical about gathering around a fire pit on a cool evening. Encourage your guests to roast s’mores, share stories, and enjoy each other’s company in the warm glow of the fire.
Private Pool or Hot Tub
If you have the space, a private pool or hot tub is a standout feature that many guests seek in a vacation rental. Just be sure to keep it well-maintained and provide clear instructions for use.
