Soft sheets . Looking for the best bed sheets for your vacation rental ? Take a cue from hotels . They dress their beds with high-thread-count and 100 percent cotton sheets that make guests want to stay in bed all day . The key is using crisp , all-white sheets , which are also easier to wash and replace . Have an extra sheet set ( per bed ) tucked away in case of any spills or accidents .
Duvet or comforter . Top the bed with a warm duvet or comforter to treat guests to a luxurious night ’ s sleep . Or mimic the pristine beds in luxury hotels by using triple sheeting . We suggest keeping a spare clean duvet or comforter in your closet or tucked into a dresser for those extra chilly nights .
Two pillows ( per person ). Guests are particular about their pillows . So much that luxury hotels have even gone as far as offering pillow menus to their guests to customize their sleep experience . While you don ’ t have to go that extra mile , consider offering both firm and soft pillows to give your vacation rental guests choices . Layer your pillows for the most luxurious effect . Start with large square Euro pillows , followed by your sleeping pillows , then add decorative throw pillows to pull your look together .
Air conditioning or electric fan . When guests arrive during the hot season it ’ ll greatly improve their comfort to be able to cool down the area where they lay down to rest . In case your property has no air conditioning installed you should at least have one fan per bedroom to provide them with a cooling breeze at night .
An updated flatscreen television .
An iron and clothing storage . An iron and an ironing board are must-haves for wrinkly clothes coming out of suitcases . Provide a simple suitcase stand in the closet so guests don ’ t have to bend to the ground to sort through their suitcase . Leave plenty of empty hangers in the closet . A chest of drawers is an added benefit for many guests unpacking their belongings .
