One of the ways to distinguish yourself from competition is to appeal to a specific audience.
In this case, your best shot is families.
Families traveling with children have a hard time finding vacation homes that fit their unique needs.
Here’s what you need to do to turn your vacation home into a holiday haven for families:
- Child Safety
Make sure your rental is safe for kids of all ages. You would need to,
- cover electrical outlets
- secure heavy furniture to walls
- use safety gates for staircases
- remove or cushion sharp corners on furniture
- ensure windows have secure locks
- and invest in cabinet locks.
To make outdoor areas safe,
- the yard should be fenced
- pools should have a safety gate
- gardening tools or chemicals should be stored out of children’s reach
- play equipment should be well-maintained and suitable for young users.
- Comfort
Give your guests a feeling of home away from home by incorporating these:
- Appropriate sleep arrangements for kids (a crib, a toddler bed, safe beds according to kid’s ages.)
- Provide necessary baby items (high chairs, strollers, baby monitors, bottle warmers, etc.)
- Entertainment
Keeping the kids happy will keep the experience pleasant so,
- Stock your rental with a variety of toys and games like board games, puzzles, building blocks, art supplies, and outdoor toys like balls or frisbees.
- Have a bookshelf filled with popular children’s books.
- Have a good selection of family-friendly movies or streaming service access.
