The Ultimate Host Boise Airbnb Essentials, Supplies, and Checklist
Kitchen
One of the best parts of vacation rentals over hotels is a fully equipped kitchen. Guests can enjoy what they want, cook how they want, save on eating meals out, and eat healthier, especially if they have any kind of dietary restrictions.
Bathrooms
It may be obvious to everyone that your vacation rental should have toilet paper on it. However, if you really wanna make a splash with guests and get those 5-star reviews, the bathroom can be a golden opportunity.
Dining Room
The furniture and decor of your dining space needs to stand the test of time as the wear and tear your home goes through weekly by guests can be rough. No one takes care of your stuff as you would. Shoot for design and user-friendly items while keeping a mind on how everything will stand up to the use.
Toiletries
Create new guest expectations with how you set up your bathroom toiletries. Don't worry about what brands, smells, and colors you opt for. By simply providing extras and variety, you're sure to impress.
Outside & Patio
Make your home feel like home for guests and not just basic accommodations. Design and decorate your patio, deck, or outdoor space to ensure guests feel invited and envision relaxation.
Bedrooms
One of the most important rooms in your vacation rental is the bedrooms. Turning a guest bedroom into a retreat away from the day, giving them a great night's sleep can make or break a guest's stay. Not to mention, your professional listing photos of the master bedroom can seal the deal when a guest is looking to book your home.
Living Room & Office
Your vacation rental's living room is the nucleus of the home. Your guests will occupy this room majority of the time, so having a thought-out space that ties together the entire home is important and can set the mood of a guest's entire stay.
Sheets, Towels & Linens
Don't underestimate the significance of the quality of a good night's sleep. Waking up from a relaxed night of sleeping can have a considerably huge impact on a guest's mood and how they take things in. If something is not perfect about your home, guests' tolerance and opinion of their stay can be highly affected by their rest level.
Consumable Guest Amenities
When guests are surfing through listing photos and descriptions, the consumable amenities your rental home features can really set you apart from the competition. Help ensure your home makes it to the booking page rather than the next button.
Home Security
Your home and guests' safety and security should be a high priority. By equipping your home with safety systems and features, you can help prevent accidents and incidents before they happen. Having the right security elements will reduce risk and help provide a safe and smooth stay experience for you and your guests.
Kitchens
When hosting your home as a vacation rental, it's essential to have a kitchen that can handle anything your guests want to cook.
