How to Prepare Your Airbnb and Guests for A Power Outage

How to prepare for a power outage at your Airbnb. You need to prepare your vacation rental AND your guests for the what-if when the storms come. Both rain and snow and power supply shortages can be a real thing at vacation rentals throughout North America and the Caribbean. As a host, we know you can’t control the weather, but you need to be prepared with a few emergency supplies.

Comfort IS key.

If your guests aren’t comfortable during their stay, it doesn’t matter how beautiful or unique your stay is, the reviews are not going to be at their best.

The Bedding is the #1 key to guest comfort right after temperature control

I am a big eco-nerd, but in a practical way, i can’t afford a Tesla - yet ;)

If I can find THE BEST pillows, sheets and duvets for my own use and they are organic and non toxic, well that’s pretty awesome. I recently connected with an organic bedding company to try out some of their products sponsored and can’t wait to see how I sleep.

Check out Sleep & Beyond and let me know if you have tried their hot item - the merino wool pillows, or their luxury organic cotton sheets. I want to know what you think!

Email me info@vacationrentalhosting101.com or DM me on Instagram with your thumbs up or thumbs down for their products you have tried and I will post on our instagram stories Vacation Rental Hosting 101 on Instagram
