Are you looking to make a bigger profit from your vacation home rentals in Wisconsin? In 2022, the state saw a 21% rise in tourism earnings compared to 2020.
This offers many opportunities for your rental business, but it also presents a challenge to you. You'll need to find ways to make your holiday vacation rental compete with similar properties.
One way to do this is with vacation rental amenities and upgrades. This guide will show you the best amenities and upgrades to consider.
Here's what you must have:
Comfort for Revenge Travelers
You might attract a few revenge travelers and can provide amenities just for them. Revenge travelers want as much comfort as possible. They'll want to avoid a place where they'll have to be responsible for everything.
For example, you can provide professional cleaning services for your vacation home. Your guests shouldn't have to worry about keeping your home clean beyond the basics of good etiquette!
Likewise, you can give them towels, bedsheets, blankets, and other furnishings. They should be able to relax without having to bring much to the vacation home.
You must provide them with toiletries as you would expect in a hotel. This includes shower gel, shampoo, shaving cream, etc.
Technology Amenities
The next set of amenities should be technology. You must offer fast Wi-Fi in your vacation home, as most guests will expect it. If you attract digital nomads, they'll want to know internet speeds beforehand.
Many guests will also want a home entertainment system. You can provide a SMART TV that has access to streaming services.
You can also offer a home music system, which is great for larger groups. You'll stand out if you offer tech accessories such as phone and laptop chargers. Gadgets such as portable speakers are also welcome.
Make sure you advertise your technology amenities, especially gadgets, on the property's listing. This is a great way to quickly grab your guest's attention. It ensures them that they can pack light for their trip.
Upgrading Your Vacation Home
One of the best ways to upgrade your vacation home is by repainting it. This gives it a fresh look and makes it more inviting.
You must check all lightbulbs before any guest arrives. Even if a few lights stop working or become dim, this can sour the atmosphere of the vacation home.
Be sure to check A/C filters before letting any guest in. If you need to upgrade your A/C unit or heater, don't delay it. Offer your guests modern furniture that's practical and comfortable.
If you hire a vacation property management service, they can assist you with dealing with guests and upgrading your property.
Offer These Vacation Rental Amenities and Upgrades
These vacation rental amenities and upgrades will help your property stand out among the competition.
Make sure you offer the basic comforts that one would expect in a hotel. You can win over your guests with a variety of technology amenities. You can also upgrade your home, but for that, you may need a property manager.
