Why update your vacation rental?

Guest expectations are higher than ever, and keeping occupancy strong means staying ahead with upgrades—especially in kitchens and bathrooms, which offer the best ROI. Thoughtful improvements make your property more comfortable, appealing, and memorable, attracting more renters, encouraging repeat stays, and inspiring guest recommendations.

The following are among the most common suggestions and requests from guests:

FLAT SCREEN TVS

Add flat screen tvs in every room. You can mount them on the wall to create more space for your guests. The cable box can also go onto a mounted glass shelf which gives the area a clean and orderly look. Our maintenance team can help give your tv a very sleek look by hiding the wires inside of the walls.

Fresh Paint

Color is always an inexpensive way to update and brighten your property. Accent colors photograph well, and make your property stand out among the competition. Deep, rich colors also photograph well, and make the property appear more desirable on listings and in advertisements.

new & modern furniture

Please resist the temptation to use second hand furniture. Consider spending on a quality sofa sleeper that will be comfortable to the guest, and hold up over time. This will increase your sleeping capacity and will appeal to families with children, or large groups. Be sure furniture is functional and durable.

stocked kitchen

Yes, guests do cook while they are here and it is one of the reasons why a vacation rental is so much more appealing than a hotel room. Make sure you have everything you would need to make a meal and more to make sure guests cook happy during their stay.

fresh bedding & comfortable mattresses

Consider replacing your bedding every two to three years. Replace your outdated or worn comforters, bed skirts, and decorative pillows with fresh, relaxing or brightly colored accents. Guests want a comfortable mattress for their stay and if it's not, they won't be back.

all the extras

While you may not win a reservation based on your lamps with usb plugs, wine fridge, bluetooth speaker setup, gaming system or dimmable lights, you may win the guest for a RETURN visit with all of the little 'extras' you put into your property!

Guests appreciate vacation rentals stocked with amenities like hair dryers, crock pots, blenders, pancake griddles, irons, and TV/stereo aux cords, and even small upgrades can boost bookings. A professional interior designer can help create a cohesive, appealing style that reflects your taste while maximizing rental potential, as guests often choose properties based on decor and comfort. SummitCove markets each property individually and can recommend trusted local designers in Keystone who handle everything from concept to setup, ensuring your home stands out in photos, appeals to more guests, and delivers the best possible revenue.
