Vacation Rental Outfitting

The details of comfort can go overlooked without proper attention – let me outfit your property so your clients feel like royalty! After cheffing in many local vacation homes and rentals, I have seen the very best and the very not-so-best of vacation accommodations. I am in the unique position of hearing the comments, both pro and con, from guests that many owners do not get to hear. I know the little details that guests appreciate and that make them want to come back! Let me help you bring your vacation rental into that realm where guests say “I can’t believe they thought of that!” Some of my vacation home outfitting services include:

  • Attention to detail, photos and instructions
  • Training for your staff
  • Unique and innovative ideas to take your clients to the next level
  • Inventory and Replenish
  • Gestures – Meet and greet, wine and cheese delivery, morning wake up coffee/granola, fresh baked cookies, bagels, etc.
