Child and pet friendly accommodations

Recently we came across statistics that showed us the importance of the ‘child friendly’ option in selecting an accommodation in short stay rent. According to HomeAway, one of our most important partners, 73% of the parents let their choice of accommodation be influenced greatly by their kids. It makes sense. Family holidays are all about spending time together and doing activities all together. Unfortunately, a lot of houses are not specifically designed for (young) kids, which can lead to the loss of bookings.

Checklist for your property

At Rental Valley we see that an increasing number of families choose to rent out their own home to cover some of the costs of their vacation plans. Our expertise is in matching and tuning accommodations to the right crowd. Therefore, we have created a checklist to make your place ready to welcome families for a great holiday.

 

Our best tips:

  • Safety- of course, on top of the list (see our blog about safety measurements). 
  • Wifi – when you have kids this doesn’t need explaining 🙂
  • Lack of wifi – an interesting topic. We see more and more parents that want to get away from screens, technology and the world wide web. Wifi as optional can be a great selling point. 
  • Pet friendly – not a great fit for every one or house, but if there is an option to take along Bobby, surely the market expands. As a matter of fact, over 27% of the dogs that live in urban areas are part of the holiday crew. We can help you to adjust your place to pets. Installing a pet shutter and including food bowls, cat litter and other animal supplies are great tools to be able to charge fees and again to attract more guests.
  • Coffee machines and fancy kitchen appliances can favor your listing over others.  
  • A game console – can be of the utmost importance
  • (board) Games
  • Beach umbrellas and towels for houses with a swimming pool or near the beach.  parasols en handdoeken voor huizen met zwembaden of strandlocaties
  • Belongings that make your house comfortable and stylish, but also that show it is someone’s home. Create a place that is not just an impersonal showroom where glasses can be broken without meaning.
