5 Things To Know Before Listing Your Luxury Home As A Vacation Rental

Ever thought about listing your luxurious property as a vacation rental home? 

At B | PANACHE, we specialize in managing some of the most exclusive and sought after vacation listings in Los Angeles. To help turn these properties into five-star resorts, we help advise our clients on what they should know before listing their home as a short term rental. Here are a few things to keep in mind!

Modern Amenities 

Today’s travelers appreciate access to traditional hotel amenities like gleaming swimming pools, home gyms, as well as on-demand housekeeping, laundry, and culinary services when looking for a luxury vacation rental home. To attract these travelers, consider offering access to these facilities and services as a part of your listing. 

Home Staging 

What separates high-end vacation homes from all the rest are some of the things you don’t see! Similar to home staging for a real estate listing, decluttering your home and removing personal items helps prospective guests visualize themselves in your space. Simply storing away family photos, clothing, and mementos will help your home feel more like a high-end boutique hotel. 

Luxurious Bed Linens

A must-have for a good night’s rest are quality bed linens, for each bedroom in your vacation rental property. For a uniform look that mimics luxurious boutique hotels, opt for all white sheets, pillowcases, and duvets. This simple but important change in the bedding will help each room feel crisp, clean, and ready for relaxation. 

Target Key Travelers 

Key segments of families and business travelers make up for a large number of luxury vacation rentals, so why not be sure to cater to those needs? Simple things you can do to attract business professionals is upgrading your wifi system throughout the property, and setting up a dedicated office space. For families, consider offering childproofing services and child-friendly amenities to keep families comfortable during their stay.

Home Audits & Regular Inspections

Just as the most luxurious boutique hotels are always kept in tip-top shape year-round, performing home audits and regular inspections will ensure things are always operating smoothly for valued guests at your vacation property. At B | PANACHE we are the eyes and ears of your estate, identifying any potential problems before they arise, so your home is ready to be enjoyed 24/7.
