Here’s How To Prepare Your Vacation Rental For The Holiday Season

Hacks & Tips 3 MINS READ

The holidays are creeping up quickly. It’s a special time of the year to celebrate with family and friends. Not to mention, it’s one of the kindest times of the year with everyone in such a giving and helpful mood.

If you’re an owner of a vacation rental, now is your chance to embrace your holiday spirit and work your festive charm on your rental. Even if you love Christmas, you may not be the decorating kind of person – that’s okay! These 4 tips will explain exactly what to do.

Christmas Decorations Are a Must

Sounds easy enough, right? Once Thanksgiving is over, you can start hanging up Christmas decorations. You don’t need to go overboard – even just the minimum amount of decorations will set a festive atmosphere for your guests. If you don’t want to put up a large Christmas tree, you can opt for a small one.

Another idea is to decorate a part of the house with white Christmas lights – you can also do this if you have a front porch or stairs on your rental. Consider adding a decorative wreath to your front door to set the first impression of the home. Try placing a few red and green Christmas ornaments in a medium-sized glass bowl on the coffee table to make your guests feel warm and cozy as they sit on the couch. If you want to add a bit more and have a fireplace mantel, add a couple of stockings above it. With this little effort you are adding to the home, your guests will treasure it and they will be able to jump into the spirit of Christmas, even while away from home.

Be Generous With a Small Gift

This gift should remain small, but thoughtful. A great idea is a basket with some hot cocoa, tea, or even apple cider mix. You could also bake some Christmas cookies and leave them on a decorative plate. In case you have some coffee lovers, you could leave a couple of Christmas mugs.

Offer a Christmas Package Deal

If you’re feeling extra generous, you could offer a Christmas package deal for guests who book your rental either the week of Christmas, Christmas Eve or on Christmas Day. If you are going to offer this, make sure to mention it in your description and even throw in some festive images to catch their eye.

What you could offer in the deal:

  • Breakfast delivery on Christmas morning
  • Wine or Champagne basket
  • Gift certificate for Christmas dinner at a local restaurant
  • Offer Christmas dinner delivery
  • If they have children, offer one present each on Christmas Eve.

Send Out a Festive Christmas Newsletter

The moment you plan out the final details of what you want to offer and plan for your vacation rental this Holiday season, it’s beneficial to send out a newsletter to keep your network in the loop. Rather than traditional Christmas cards, a Christmas newsletter will offer a detailed outline of the Christmas incentives you’re offering.

If you opt for the newsletter, be sure to add:

  • A personalized Christmas greeting
  • Photos of your Christmas decor in your home.
  • Include all special offers

Information about your Christmas deal and everything that is included.
