Highlight your vacation rental by transforming it into a relaxation retreat.

Highlight Your Vacation Rental Property

Here are some tips to transform your vacation rental property into a relaxation haven:

Create a Calm Environment

The first thing guests will notice upon arrival is the overall atmosphere of your property. Make sure it's a place where they can feel calm and relaxed.

• Use soft lighting. Bright lighting can be jarring and make relaxation difficult. Instead, use soft lighting, such as lamps or dim candles.

• Choose relaxing colors. Bright colors can be stimulating and hinder relaxation. Instead, select calming colors such as blues, greens, and neutrals.

• Provide comfortable furniture. No one wants to relax in a stiff or uncomfortable chair. Be sure to provide comfortable furniture, such as sofas, recliners, and poufs.

• Add plants. Plants can add a touch of nature and help create a relaxing atmosphere.

• Play relaxing music. Soft music can help create a relax environment. You can play music through a speaker.

• Diffuse essential oils. Essential oils can have a calming effect on the body and mind. You can diffuse essential oils with a diffuser or a spray bottle.

• Create a relaxation nook. Designate a specific area in your property as a relaxation nook. This could be a small table or a shelf in the bedroom or living room. Add some comfortable chairs, a diffuser, some essential oils, and a few relaxing books or magazines.

• Keep the space clean and tidy. A cluttered space can be stressful and hinder relaxation. Be sure to keep the space clean and orderly before guests arrive.

• Make sure the space is well-ventilated. Fresh air can help create a relaxing atmosphere. Open the windows or turn on a fan to circulate the air.

• Maintain a comfortable temperature. Too hot or too cold can make relaxation difficult. Ensure the temperature is comfortable for your guests.

Provide Amenities

Guests should be able to find everything they need to relax and unwind in your property.

• Towels and linens: Guests should be able to find clean towels and linens in each room. You might also consider providing extra towels for the pool or beach.

• Toiletries: Guests should be able to find basic toiletries, such as soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, and toothbrushes. You might also consider providing other toiletries, like shaving cream, razors, and hair dryers.

• Snacks: Your guests may appreciate having some snacks on hand, especially if they arrive late or plan to engage in some outdoor activities. You could provide a fruit basket or a mini-fridge fully stocked.

Choose high-quality amenities. Guests will appreciate the use of high-quality products and services, such as soft towels, plush linens, and luxury toiletries.

Offer SPA-like Services

If you truly want your property to stand out, consider offering SPA-like services to your guests. This could include:

• Massages: Massages are a great way to relax and de-stress.

• Facials: Facials are an excellent way to cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin.

• Body treatments: Body treatments, like wraps and scrubs, can help detoxify and rejuvenate the body.

In any case, you can hire a professional to come to your property to provide these services or offer guests kits to do it themselves.

Customize the Experience

The more personalized the experience, the more likely guests are to feel relaxed and appreciated.

• Get to know your guests. Before they arrive, take some time to learn about their interests and preferences. You can do this by asking them questions during the booking process or requesting that they fill out a form.

• Incorporate their interests into their stay. Once you know what your guests are interested in, you can incorporate those elements into their stay. For example, if they're interested in diving activities, you can provide them with maps and directions to diving spots. Or, if they are food lovers, you can give them recommendations for local restaurants.

• Leave a welcome basket. When guests arrive, leave them a welcome basket filled with snacks, drinks, and other amenities. This is a great way to show them that you are thinking of them and want them to feel welcome.

• Be responsive to their needs. If guests have any needs or requests, be sure to respond. This will show them that you care about their comfort and are committed to making their stay enjoyable.

• Add that "extra touch". Little things can make a big difference when it comes to personalizing the guest experience. For example, you could leave fresh flowers in the room or offer to pick up guests at the airport.

Benefits of Making Your Guests Feel Relaxed

There are many benefits to making your guests feel relaxed. Here are a few:

• Greater satisfaction: Guests who feel relaxed are more likely to be satisfied with their stay. This can lead to positive reviews, which can help you attract more guests in the future.

• Increase in repeat customers: Guests who enjoy a relaxing and pleasant stay are more likely to rebook your property in the future.

• Word-of-mouth referrals: Guests who have a positive experience are more likely to tell their friends and family about your property. This can help you reach a wider audience and attract more guests.

• Economic benefits: By making your guests feel relaxed, you can enhance their satisfaction, encourage them to return in the future, and lead to word-of-mouth referrals. This can result in economic benefits, such as increased revenue and higher property value.
