"User-Friendly" Vacation Rentals

The phrase user-friendly can and should be a consideration for vacation rental homes. When your guests arrive at your rental, many for the first time, they are unfamiliar with something as basic as light switch controls. A label on light switches and fan controls is a much appreciated convenience and one other little extra that shows that you, the owner, truly are working to make their stay carefree and pleasant.

Other ways to make your home user-friendly are to provide an Owners Guidebook to your home which includes manuals for electronic devices and appliances. Posting the house address and telephone numbers along with emergency numbers near the telephone are essential. A clear step by step list for operating spas and pool equipment is also very important.

Take a walk room by room through your house and look critically at anything that may be confusing for a renter to operate or locate. It may seem like a small thing but in the end its all the small things that add up to making your home the first choice for their next vacation.

In the end, your guests will remember how easy your home was to settle into without fussing with searching for switches, finding the TV Channel lineup, and looking for directions operate the washing machine.
