How Do You Deck Out Your Short Term Rental?

[Mindy Jensen]

I'm staying at an AirBnB in San Diego. I chose it for the location, just a few blocks from the beach.

It's newly renovated and looks nice. Fresh paint, very clean, comfy beds and couch.

But there are no decorations. There are zero pictures on the walls, one fake potted plant in the living room, and 6 placemats on the table. It feels bare.

How do you decorate your AirBnB? Have you had any feedback about your decorations specifically? We stay in them frequently, and they always seem to be decorated for the area, ie Mountain homes are log furniture, old skis on the wall, pictures of bears. Beach houses have pictures of waves, sand and seashells everywhere.

This sounds like a complaint and I really don't mind that there isn't any decorations. We're not spending a lot of time in the home, we're here for the beach. I'm doing research for my own AirBnB rentals.

While we're here, let's talk about entertainment. Do you provide cable/Netflix/Disney or are they on their own?
