When you decide to buy a vacation home property or decide to turn yours into one, there are many things that we must take into account. By creating a comfortable and attractive environment by equipping yourself in the best way will give you the results you are looking for.
4 tips that the Kigo company shows us on its online platform:
Before following these tips, the main premise is that you must know who your ideal client is, once you define that, your approach to design will be much more defined and everything will be easier.
1.- Design the decoration with intelligence
Once you have in mind who your ideal client is, you should imagine how you would like the accommodation to be where you will spend a few days off. You should also take into account all the good and bad things that may occur. What objects are more likely to get stained or to wear out and break? What parts of your own home do you find it most difficult to keep clean and tidy? Use your own home as a guide to intelligently decorate your rental accommodation.
Solid colored bedspreads are best avoided because the stains will show up much more. Instead, opt for a multi-colored or patterned comforter, which will last much longer. Dress the windows with solid colored elements, so that you can easily combine them with other more striking objects and with more personality without overloading the room. Clutter (or even the sense of clutter generated by intricate or ornate décor) can lead to feelings of disorganization, irritation, or stress. Clients value an organized and modern space that makes them feel like they can really relax and get away completely.
2.- Comfort should be an essential element
Consider purchasing a sofa bed, which allows guests the flexibility to invite friends or family over during their trip. But yes, make sure that it is suitable for daily use and that it will not destroy your customers’ backs. If you want to include the sofa bed in the total number of people that can stay in your property, it is worth looking for a good one. Make sure you buy a model that is comfortable for anyone to sleep in for nights in a row. It’s an easy way to get more positive feedback.
If your accommodation is in a place with a particularly hot or cold climate, make sure you have a good air conditioning or heating system and several fans or heaters so that your guests are always at ease. Extra blankets always add a nice touch. And, of course, if possible, make available to your guests the wireless internet connection in the accommodation. Today it is no longer an option, it is a necessity. Even if your rental accommodation is in a remote place lost in the mountains, where your clients want to completely “disconnect”, it is still recommended that there be at least some Wi-Fi point available.
3.- Customize your accommodation
An individual style with personality, which gives people the feeling of being in their own special place and not in the commercial atmosphere of a hotel. There are probably many reasons why you chose to buy that particular accommodation, so feel free to share them with your potential customers. If you have a collection of shells or a chandelier that you love, look for them in a special place. But make sure that those things that you love so much are in accordance with the general decoration of your accommodation so that it is coherent.
It includes maps of the surroundings, a little gesture that customers from outside will greatly appreciate. Tourists will appreciate any tourist guide or article on ‘the best of the area’. Also think about giving away discount coupons for your favorite ice cream parlor or your favorite restaurant, so that your customers can enjoy a good time in places you know well. Buy some of your favorite books and games and leave them in the lodgings for those rainy days when your tenants are forced to stay at home. This way they will feel that they are making the most of their vacation time even under these conditions. It’s the little things that enhance guest experience, welcoming and like a true home away from home.
4.- Protect the property
When you decorate a vacation property, you invest a lot of time and above all money, so you must make sure that all your appliances and goods that have been purchased, have a guarantee or are given the proper use. It would not be profitable at all if they are constantly damaged. For this it is good that when you have guests you leave instructions on how to use the devices and the responsibilities in case of damage.
In many cases, the deposit or guarantee is usually requested from the guest, this will give you an endorsement to you as a host, if you want to know how it works click here and read a little about the deposits and guarantees that we offer in Chekin.
Another important aspect too, that is to say in advance if pets are allowed or not. Although admitting pets opens up a much larger potential customer market for you, some dogs can be very destructive. If you decide to allow dogs, keep grassy areas outside to a minimum if possible so that the dog has fewer places to dig and wreak havoc.
Remember that a well furnished and decorated accommodation, with amenities will always be a key element for tourists fleeing monotony.
