Depending on what you're looking for your Vacation Home Rental to be and what kind of guests you're hoping to attract, you'll have to modify this list to some extent. If you are looking to attract guests to stay for long periods of time, 3+ nights, then you'll need to provide a bit more than you would for guests who are only looking to stay one night. Here, we'll cover the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, linen, and cleaning supplies.
