Things to Look For in a Short Term Vacation Property
Proximity to the Beaches
Buy as close to the beach as your budget can afford! The #1 attraction for visitors to Hilton Head Island is the beach. The first question all guests ask is, “How close is it to the beach?”
Swimming Pool
The second question all guests ask is, “Does it have a pool?” Pools are an important part of generating a strong rental income.
Rental History
Most buyers want to see what sort of income a property will generate. It’s best to have a past rental history on the property. If not, a quality vacation rental management company can put together a rental projection for you.
Bedrooms & Bedroom Configuration
The number of bedrooms and their configuration are key elements in the rental market.
Amenities
What else is there to do besides go to the beach? Guests want to spend as little time in the car as possible. Proximity to dining, shopping, and entertainment are important factors.
Interior Upgrades
Guests will return if the property is upgraded and nice. Updated bathrooms, kitchens, LVP flooring, smooth ceilings, and newer appliances are a must if you want your income to grow!
Views Out The Back Door
Views add emotional value to a short-term rental and impact guests’ desire to return.
