High-Speed Internet (Non-Negotiable)

Minimum 100 Mbps is now standard. Test your WiFi in every room and provide the password prominently. Consider mesh networks for larger properties.

Stock basics: coffee maker, toaster, blender, wine opener, cutting boards, quality knives, and enough dishes for your maximum occupancy plus two.

Climate Control

Central air conditioning and heating with programmable thermostats. Provide fans for extra comfort and space heaters for colder months.

Beach/Outdoor Equipment

Beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, beach toys, and outdoor games. In coastal markets, these amenities are essential for competitive listings.
