Preparing your property

Determine if your property is a suitable vacation rental – While there are many vacation rentals on the market today, it certainly helps if your property has unique features. It is important to determine whether or not your property is marketable and desirable. You should ask yourself the following questions: Is my property’s location desirable (i.e. on the water, great views, heated pool)? Is my property up-to-date enough and have the amenities that many travelers are looking for such as high-speed wireless internet, swimming pool, comfortable beds, etc?
Prepare the interior and exterior of your property – Once you’ve determined that your property is a suitable vacation rental, you need to make sure that both the interior and exterior of your property are of the quality that travelers expect. When people travel and rent vacation homes or condos, the general rule of thumb is to make sure that everything works, nothing is broken and that the property in its entirety is very neat and presentable.
Final Preparation – Prior to making a property available for rental, it is important owners properly prepare their property, including documenting any special property requirements, conducting an inventory, securing personal effects, and providing certain items necessary for beach vacations. Duncan Vacation Rentals property managers will provide detailed Preparation Lists for owners and can even conduct the preparation on behalf of the owner for an additional fee.
