Thank you to our friends as the Good Host Shop for the information on the importance of vacation rental supplies. Read on for special offers on supplies!

As a rental host, having the supplies you need when you need it is an important piece to the rental income puzzle. You can’t waste your time sourcing supplies or waste your money overpaying for them. But you do need to set up your rental to make guests happy, so you get great reviews and optimize your booking rate. This is why a group of Airbnb Super Hosts with years of experience in the rental business started the Good Host Shop, offering rental supplies like sheets, towels, mattresses, and more. It’s a place for hosts to find a reliable source of supplies made with rentals in mind that strike a balance between price and quality. In other words, a place that helps you set up your rental like a boss. Oh, and there is free shipping all the time, every time (because paying for shipping sucks).

Why is having a reliable source of supplies so important?

Knowing where you can stock up on exactly what you need for your rental will save you time and money. If you have to scour the Amazon jungles or dig through warehouse clearance bins every time you need new sheets or towels you are wasting your time. And time is money. Plus, more often than not, you won’t find the same product you purchased last time so now you have to worry about sheets and towel sets getting mixed up in the wash (another waste of your time). At the Good Host Shop, our products are always in stock so you can reliably find the supplies you need at the same quality prices every time. Guests don’t ruin supplies only when you can find them. They do it on their own timeline, which is why hosts need a consistent source to stock up on supplies.

Why is balancing the price and quality of supplies so vital to your rental business?

It’s important to find the right balance between quality and price. If either of these is out of balance, you will ruin your rental business. Unless you are listing a chateau in France or a penthouse in New York City, over-spending on supplies like sheets, mattresses, and towels don’t offer you enough of a return on your investment. And, remember, everything in a rental is going to need to be replaced at some point. The last thing you want to do is spend all your profits on these replacements. At the same time, you don’t want to supply your guests with inferior supplies like itchy sheets, flat pillows, or an uncomfortable spring coil mattress. If you go too cheap on these supplies, your guests will leave bad reviews. This means fewer bookings and money in your pocket. At the Good Host Shop, we offer products that won’t break the bank while still giving your guests a great experience. We specifically selected our products with quality and price in mind. This way, you don’t have to worry and can focus instead on making more rental income. 

Why is it important to get supplies made with rental in mind?

Most supplies like linens, mattresses, and bed frames are made for at-home use, which means they cannot stand up to the repeated abuse of your guests. You need sheets and towels that can be used and washed again and again and still look nice and fluffy. And bed frames that can support different types of guests (and activities) while offering long-lasting, rock-solid support. As a host, you need to get the most use out of your supplies so you can maximize your profits. And that means only buying supplies you know can take a beating and keep on ticking. At the Good Host Shop, we selected products that can withstand the challenges of rental guests. We only offer a streamline selection of host-approved rental supplies that are the best of the best so you can grab what you need quickly and easily.

To sweeten the pot a little more, we also offer a $100 Guarantee. If you get a bad guest review mentioning one of our products, we’ll give you $100. That’s because we are positive you and your guests will be doing a little happy dance for our rental supplies.
