How to Refresh Your Rental Property for Spring Travelers

March 20, 2025

As spring arrives, it’s the ideal time to revitalize your vacation rental. With travelers eager to escape to warm, refreshing destinations, making your property feel inviting and well-prepared can significantly impact your booking success. Here are some effective ways to refresh your rental for the season and provide guests with a memorable experience.

Deep Clean & Declutter

Following the wear and tear of winter, a comprehensive deep cleaning is crucial.

Give your rental a top-to-bottom cleaning, including windows, baseboards, and high-touch surfaces.

Declutter common areas to create a fresh, open feel. Store away winter decor and heavy blankets.

Air out the space by opening windows and using light, fresh scents.

Check and replace air filters for better air quality.

Refresh Bedrooms & Bathrooms

Guests appreciate fresh, crisp linens. Swap out heavy winter bedding for lighter, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen.

Update bedding with breathable, soft sheets and a light duvet.

Ensure good air circulation with ceiling fans or dehumidifiers to keep rooms feeling cool and comfortable.

Add new pillows or mattress topper to enhance comfort

Improve Outdoor Spaces

With warmer temperatures, outdoor spaces become a major selling point. Enhance your property’s exterior by:

Power washing decks, patios, and walkways.

Clean patio furniture and add cozy seating areas with colorful cushions.

Provide outdoor games for guests to enjoy.

Check outdoor lighting to ensure safety and ambiance.

Ensure Season Maintenace is Up-to-Date

A well-maintained rental is a guest’s dream. Before welcoming spring travelers, check:

HVAC systems to ensure proper cooling as temperatures rise.

Plumbing for any leaks or seasonal wear and tear.

Appliances, ensuring everything is working efficiently.

Kitchens to ensure all utensils, cookware, and glassware are in good condition and adequately stocked.

Outdoor amenities like grills, pools, or hot tubs for cleanliness and functionality.

Update Your Listing Photos and Description

With a refreshed rental, it’s time to showcase it! Update your online listing by:

Capturing high-quality photos of your updated space.

Highlighting seasonal features such as blooming gardens or beach-ready patios.

Mentioning springtime perks like nearby events or great weather for outdoor activities.
