Renovations are all the rage these days. From the endless number of tv shows highlighting home renovations to the posts on social media by interior designers and bloggers, the renovation ideas are endless! So, that begs the question, when should you renovate your vacation home?
The simple answer to the question is: as soon as you can! Renovations are best done during the offseason when guests are not disturbed. This way, your vacation home is in pristine condition for peak season.
We have found the days of kitschy beach decor and wicker second-hand furniture are behind us. Guests are looking for modern, updated and top of the line for their vacations. The two areas that really show a guest the vacation home is renovated are the kitchen and bathrooms.
Renovated kitchens are so important for guests when booking their vacation. Guests opt for a vacation rental so the family has the option to cook meals in the house and not eat every meal out. So, kitchens with sleek, modern appliances stand out. Especially if these kitchens have beautiful custom cabinets and countertops. Little touches like a chalkboard wall or a built-in drink fridge can make or break a guests decision to rent the property.
A renovated bathroom shows the guests that the homeowner cares about the property. Clean lines, tiled showers and tub surrounds, and walk-in showers really grab the guests attention. For properties with more than one bathroom, it is important to remember that families, possibly with young children, will be vacationing at the home. Families with young children often look for a vacation rental that has at least one tub in the property. This way, the kids can still take their evening bath.
