Simple ideas to improve your vacation property.

• Vacation Rentals

Here is a quick note on a few things that I think get overlooked on privately owned vacation properties.

Always customize your property with your tastes. It is a known fact that guests take better care of units that have a personal touch. If you have items that will end up at the neighborhood yard sale, then box them up and bring them to your property for your guests to use in your vacation property.

Bring those books you will never read again, and those DVD’s that you probably will sell in the dollar box. Place them in your vacation home for your guests to use, who cares if they get taken. Your return on them will be when your clients rebook for the next year because they love your place!

If you really want to impress your clients, dust off that old gaming system that the kids never use anymore and place it in your property. Xbox and Playstation 2’s are great for rainy vacation days and make your property perfect for family vacations.

We advertise several of our vacation properties as BYOG, bring your own games, but if you want to supply some games, you can buy hundreds of Playstation 2 games now for under $10.00 in discount bins in most game stores. Even XBOX 360 games are getting very reasonable.

Hope this helps you. If you have some additional ideas, please post your thoughts on our discussion board.
