1. Change Batteries 🔋
First things first, let's make sure all the batteries in your smoke detectors, remote controls, and other essential devices are fresh and ready to go. Nothing disrupts a guest's stay like a beeping smoke alarm in the middle of the night! Stay ahead of the game and swap out those batteries. I've also included some battery operated smoke detectors that might be useful if your home was built a while ago and there are not a sufficient number of smoke detectors in your home. https://amzn.to/3Tq1pl8
2. Check Air Filters 🍃
With fall comes the need for heaters and furnaces to kick in. Make sure your rental's air filters are clean to ensure optimal air quality for your guests. A simple change of the filter can make a big difference in providing a comfortable and healthy environment.
3. Brighten Up with New Light Bulbs 💡
As the days get shorter, good lighting becomes even more important. Take a walk through your rental and replace any dim or burnt-out light bulbs. A well-lit space not only enhances the ambiance but also makes your guests feel safe and comfortable during their stay.
4. Cozy Blankets and Throws 🧺
Add a touch of warmth and style to your space by introducing soft blankets and throws in autumnal colors. Whether draped over the sofa or folded neatly at the foot of the bed, these cozy additions will make your guests feel right at home and ready to snuggle up on chilly evenings. I am LOVING this throw blanket for fall:
5. Seasonal Decor 🍁
Embrace the fall season by incorporating some seasonal decor elements into your rental. Think pumpkins, autumn wreaths, or earthy-toned accents. These simple additions can instantly elevate the coziness factor and create a memorable experience for your guests. How cute is this pumpkin bowl?!
6. Outdoor Maintenance 🌿
Don't forget about the exterior of your rental! Take some time to tidy up the outdoor spaces, rake leaves, and maybe even set up a small seating area where guests can enjoy the crisp fall air. A well-maintained exterior adds to the overall appeal of your rental and shows that you care about every aspect of their stay.
We used the slower fall season to upgrade the exterior of a home in Rosemary Beach Florida and these chairs were absolutely perfect! They are heavy enough to withstand the wind and have maintained their color very well. Plus they aren't the traditional Adirondack chair shape which I love.
7. Stock Up on Fall Essentials 🍂
Lastly, make sure your rental is equipped with all the fall essentials your guests might enjoy, such as extra blankets, a book selection, and board games. These thoughtful touches can go a long way in creating a memorable and inviting experience for your guests. Curious what we suggest for games? These have been our popular selections (and they won't break the bank)!
