4 ways to update your Florida vacation home for renting

Updating your Florida vacation home to rent out can be a daunting task, not only do you have to take in account what needs to be done around the house as far as regular maintenance, you also have to consider what your renters may want to see when looking to book a rental. When renters go on vacation, they are looking for certain things in a home that will be both inviting and relaxing, here are a few tips to take your vacation home to the next level.



Paint

Updating the paint in your home is a task that shouldn't be ignored. Most renters will want to see a Florida vacation home that matches the theme and atmosphere. If it is a home right off of the beach, most renters will want to see a home that has a beach feel and that will include the paint on the walls. By changing the colors to a soft teal or blue, you are opening your home up to be more comfortable and inviting to renters.

Bedding

When you are getting ready to rent out your Florida vacation home, keep in mind that you should replace the bedding in the home with cheap reliable bedding that matches the theme of the home. You wouldn't want to leave your grandmother’s throw on the bed in case a renter wrecks it. By getting cheap bedding you will not be disappointed if something happens to it and it can be thrown in the wash after each renter’s stay.

Electronics

Updating the electronics in your home is crucial to getting it renting during busy season. Having the latest TV’s or DVD players will attract renters who are on vacation but they still want a piece of home. Renters also use it as a free way to keep their family entertained when they are not at the beach.


Flooring

Updating your flooring to a more durable reliable hardwood or laminate is a must. Some renters may be careless when it comes to how they take care of a rental home, so to protect you and your home’s value, you should choose something that can withstand the test of time.
