Extra Amenities to Attract Families to Your Vacation Rental

Is your Breckenridge vacation rental family friendly? Have you thought about the amenities that a family with children will need? We have!

Families prefer vacation rental homes, instead of the traditional hotel room, for a variety of reasons. With a condo or townhome, they can put their children to bed and then stay up and enjoy adult company without having to worry about waking up kids. With a kitchen to make food and space to run around and play, families are more content and at ease and can enjoy their vacation more.

Appealing to families is a great way to add value to your vacation rental. Here are a few  simple upgrades to make your vacation rental in Breckenridge stand out from the crowd.

Family Friendly Kitchen

Kids and small children need booster seats and highchairs but these items are notoriously difficult, if not impossible to travel with. They are an inexpensive addition that may make all the difference for your renters.

Bunk Rooms

For family gatherings, the more kids you can get into a bedroom, the more space adults can enjoy. Making one or two bunk rooms that can accommodate 3-4 people can make a home a lot more enticing to a large family or a gathering of two or more families.

Pack ‘n  Play

Along those same lines, having a pack ‘n play available can be very helpful. They fold away, so they won’t eat up a lot of space in your rental, but it is so convenient not to have to bring one if you are traveling.

Game Room

A family with teenagers will be looking for entertainment. A game room equipped with a pool table, ping pong table, or air hockey will attract families with older kids. Having a well stocked cabinet of board games and larger group games can also be a perk that will be remembered. An entertainment center well stocked with family friendly movies can help spend time together and relax. 

A Place for Gear

Families generally have to travel with a lot of stuff. Whether it is skis, bikes, or other outdoor gear, have a designated place to stash items that shouldn’t be left in the car, but don’t need to be in the way. A garage, mud room, porch or entry way can be ideal for these items. Consider installing a ski rack or a bike rack. Easy gear storage will attract families seeking adventure.

Child Safety

Consider installing child safety locks on cabinets with dangerous materials. Cleaning products, trash cans, and other households items attract curious little hands. You can give parents peace of mind and help them relax knowing that their toddler can’t accidentally get into something dangerous when their back is turned.

Savoring Time

It doesn’t take much to make a vacation rental ideal for families. When families stay in your rental and have a fun time, they may choose to make your vacation rental a family tradition. Enjoy families returning year after year when you make your home an easy place for families to savor time together.
