If you are a homeowner or hosting a vacation rental - some of the eastiest things you can do to ensure an amazing guest experience (and repeat visitors) are found below. Having the right amenities in your vacation rental can make all the difference! Here are the top five must-have amenities that will elevate your beachside stay and ensure your guests have an unforgettable time.
1. Beach Gear and Toys
Have beach gear readily available… Guests look for a vacation rentals that provide essentials like beach chairs, umbrellas, and coolers. Bonus points if you also offer beach toys like boogie boards, sandcastle kits, and snorkeling gear. This way, guests can spend less time preparing and more time enjoying the sun and surf!
2. Outdoor Living Space
A beach vacation isn’t complete without a great outdoor space. If you have the space we have found that guests love a rental with a spacious patio or balcony where you can soak up the sun, enjoy a meal with a view, or simply unwind with a good book. Features like a BBQ grill, outdoor dining table, and comfortable lounge chairs make it easy to enjoy those warm evenings and coastal breezes.
3. Fully Equipped Kitchen
Having a well-stocked kitchen is a game-changer - many vacationers will look for a vacation rental with modern appliances, ample cookware, and enough utensils to whip up their favorite meals. A coffee maker and blender are also essential for starting your mornings right and blending up refreshing drinks.
4. Entertainment Options
When they aren’t hitting the beach, you’ll want some entertainment back at the rental. Smart TVs with streaming services, a selection of board games and books, beach cruiser bikes, and pickleball paddles are great places to start. Some rentals even have game rooms with pool tables or ping-pong tables, which are perfect for family fun or evening gatherings with friends.
5. Comfortable Bedrooms and Bathrooms
A good night’s sleep is crucial after a day in the sun, so make sure your rental offers comfortable beds with quality linens. We recommend having as many king beds as possible and a bunk room is always very popular for families. Extras like plush towels, beach-friendly shower heads, and plenty of storage space for your vacation gear can add that extra touch of convenience and relaxation.
