Summer Readiness Checklist for Your Vacation Rental Property
- Update Your Listing– Highlight summer-friendly amenities like pools, air conditioning, or beach proximity.
- Stock Up on Essentials – Extra towels, cooling fans, and outdoor furniture can enhance the guest experience.
- Adjust Pricing & Availability– Make sure your rates are competitive while maximizing revenue.
- Schedule Professional Cleanings– High turnover rates in summer require consistent, high-quality cleaning services.
