Outdoor Cooking Space
Firing up the grill and enjoying a meal with the whole family is a tradition for many people who might be interested in spending time at your rental. The idea of an "outdoor cooking space" is intentionally vague because you can take it in many different directions. A small grill/outdoor dining area is pretty much essential. If you really want to stand out, a full outdoor kitchen is expensive but appealing. Either way, you'll want to ensure guests have a convenient way to cook outdoors. -
Outdoor Furniture
Just like with cooking spaces, outdoor furniture can mean many different things depending on your goals and taste. It might be as simple as having durable, attractive patio furniture that guests can use while cooking and dining outside. You might also choose to take things to the next level by creating an outdoor "living room" space with plenty of comfortable seating perfect for enjoying an evening outdoors. The types of furniture you choose will depend on the space you're furnishing, with options available to suit every taste and budget. -
Patio and/or Fire Pit
Naturally, you'll want to create outdoor spaces where people can gather and put all your outdoor furniture to work. A patio is a natural fit for an outdoor seating space, with plenty of room to customize the space. A fire pit is another great option and is sure to be a place where guests make memories. You can even choose to have both, so there's an outdoor space for every mood. -
Outdoor Lighting
It can be easy to overlook, but outdoor lighting is essential for your guests to make the most of the outdoor spaces you create. It's important for safety, especially if the home has a pool, and it can also really add to the atmosphere of the house. Consider solar-powered lights for maximum flexibility and convenience. -
Good WiFi and Convenient Entertainment
Your guests won't be spending every moment away, and they'll still be looking for the usual comforts when they head back to your vacation rental. Make sure the WiFi works well and that cable or streaming services are easy to access. -
Beach Gear
If your short-term rental is near the water, you'll want to consider adding some beach basics. Putting together some beach gear essentials for guests is a great way to show them you want them to enjoy their time here. These can include chairs, umbrellas, coolers, toys for the kids, and other fun items.
