South Walton homeowners, no matter your budget, there are simple upgrades that add value to your 30A short-term rental property. Your goal should be to create an inviting and cozy experience for guests. When it comes to maintaining your real estate investment and attracting a steady stream of renters, there are a few things to look for in keeping your property fresh and inviting.

1. Update you Color Schemes

A new coat of paint can modernize your vacation rental and make it appear well-maintained, clean, and luxurious. Neutral paint colors are great because they can appeal to a wide range of guests. If you want to add some pops of color, you can do so with blankets, pillows, area rugs, artwork, and more. Updating your rental’s color scheme is a great way to modernize and upgrade your 30A vacation rental property without breaking the bank.

2. Modern Amenities

This concept can apply to many areas of a home, including indoor and outdoor living areas, bathrooms, and kitchens. We recommend having high-speed wireless internet, a television with streaming channels, smart speaker and other forms of entertainment. It is also crucial that the kitchen be fully equipped with quality appliances, utensils and plenty of wine openers.  Even small things like high-quality bathroom towels or bed linens will make a lasting impression on your guests.  Outside, make sure you have a high-end grill as most everyone enjoys a good barbeque while on vacation at the beach.  Also, Golf Carts are a great way to for guests to get to the beach, pool and explore all the fun things to do on 30A.  Therefore, including a complimentary golf cart with the vacation rental is always a great way to increase your bookings.

3. Curb Appeal

First impressions are vital. You want to wow your guests from the moment they see your property in person. If the first thing your guest sees is poor landscaping, that could shape how they judge the house for the duration of their stay and lead to poor reviews. Decluttering the entryway, pulling weeds, replacing dead plants, and giving the front door and window trims a fresh coat of paint are all great ways to improve the curb appeal of your 30A rental.
