If you have an Airbnb, then you know that the market has become very competitive. It seems like new Airbnbs are popping up on every corner, and rightly so. It is a wonderful way to travel. As more properties enter the marketplace fighting for guests and 5-star reviews, it is important to make your Airbnb stand out as something extra special. Impress your guests with thoughtful amenities that will make their stay cozy and complete!

Luxury toiletries.

Toiletries are the number one thing travelers expect during a hotel stay. Even though Airbnbs do not fit into the traditional hotel or bed and breakfast model, you should still think about what your guests are used to receiving during a typical overnight stay. We guarantee your guests will be blown away to find a beautiful bathroom tray filled with a few select luxury bathroom amenities. Shampoo, conditioner, hand and body moisturizer, guest soap and makeup wipes will leave a lasting impression. Accent Amenities Starter Kits are perfect for smaller properties and Airbnbs. Want to step up your game even more? Leave a pretty bottle of mineral bath crystals and a pair of slippers next to the bathtub.

Coffee and tea.

This is another amenity that most hoteliers offer and it is a thoughtful touch to any Airbnb. Leave a small bag of locally roasted coffee and a selection of caffeinated and decaffeinated teas on the kitchen counter. An electric kettle and French press are the only appliances you really need. Your coffee- and tea-loving guests will be thrilled that they don’t need to spend extra money at a coffee shop and the appreciation will last much longer than their morning cup of joe.

Blender and smoothie recipes.

Smoothies and nutrition shakes are all the rage right now and many travelers have a hard time living without them. Invest in a small, powerful blender for your kitchen countertop and leave a few of your favorite recipes. You’ll get even more bonus points if you focus on local and in-season fruits and vegetables.

Outdoor equipment.

While traveling, it’s so nice to have access to outdoor gear especially if you are visiting a beautiful part of the country. Leave your guests access to a pair of cruiser bikes, canoes, kayaks, surfboard, cross-country skis or whatever gear you can find that encourages them to explore the area. Check Craig’s List, local swaps and garage sales for great deals on used gear.

A welcome bottle of wine or growler of craft beer.

Nothing says welcome like a bottle of wine. Left on the kitchen table with a short welcome note, your guests will feel like a VIP the moment they walk through the door. Find your favorite mid-range wine and purchase it buy the case to save money. If you are located in a craft-beer loving region, fill a growler with a local brew and leave it in the fridge. It’s a thoughtful way to introduce them to one of the tastes of your town!
