Vacation Rental Restyling

When choosing a vacation home, renters base their decision on the way your home looks and specifically photographs. To capture their attention and make your home stand out it is critical to have your rooms feel inviting, spacious and well lit. Comfortable and ample furnishings that speak to the current trends speak volumes and appeal to renters shopping around in this competitive rental market. While looking online, a renter can see if you have a regular or flat screen tv, whether the bedding is dated or looks thick and luxurious.

Working in the vacation rental industry as both a home owner and property manager, I have seen the tremendous benefits of having a "complete" rental home. Unfortunately, I have also fielded my share of complaints and issued refunds when a home falls below par. A vacation rental property has specific needs that a second home or even your primary home might not. Knowing what products and furnishings you need to be successful saves headaches from cranky tenants and upset property managers. Just because a house has been sold "furnished", doesn't always equate to having everything you might need. A complete inventory of kitchen items, seating and lighting needs, sufficient linens, trash removal, landscaping, electrical appliances and other added benefits are employed. From basic starter properties on limited budgets to luxury homes with very specific requirements, let us review, restyle and supply your home for the competitive rental market. The quickest way to having a successful rental property is through repeat tenants. Repeat tenants ensure income year after year, are more flexible, give great word of mouth references when they boast to their friends about their vacation, and most importantly, treat your home respectfully (read: save on wear and tear!) A vacation rental that is as comfortable as home but brimming with enough amenities to feel pampered will ensure repeat guests every time.

Whether your budget is small or large, spending the money to properly furnish your home in the beginning results in a steady stream of happy paying repeat guests year round!
