Many people have discovered that owning their own little piece of paradise can also be a money-maker. Likely you aren’t at your beach house year-round, so why not rent it out while you’re away? You’ll recoup your costs in no time. There are lots of ways to make your house renter friendly.
Consider the Luggage
If your house is beachfront, it is likely on stilts. This means that people need to climb a flight of stairs to enter the home. This isn’t ideal if you are hauling a week’s worth of luggage, food and supplies with you. There is a solution- beach house cargo lifts. Load up a week’s worth of stuff on the lift and climb the stairs burden free, to be met at the top by your luggage. What a relief!
Stock the Kitchen
Nobody wants to worry about buying or packing all the little necessities of the kitchen, like salt or olive oil. A beachgoer wants to shirk off the responsibilities of daily life and relax. It will be much appreciated if your kitchen is stocked with cooking essentials, basic condiments and maybe even some coffee. This small yet thoughtful consideration will leave quite an impression on renters.
Keep a Guest Book
Find a place to feature a fun and unique guest book. It’s a treat for vacationers to feel like they are part of something bigger and to read about the adventures of other families. Make it easy to contribute by placing it on a desk and providing writing utensils for all ages: pens, markers and crayons. It will be more impactful if the whole family can participate. A guestbook can also provide important feedback for you.
Renting out your vacation home can be a wonderful experience for both you and your potential guests. To keep them coming back, keep their needs in mind. Now go create a dream get-away!
