When setting up a new short-term rental, one of the key areas that deserves special attention is the kitchen. Nothing makes a guest feel more like they're staying at an Airbnb than a bare bones kitchen. A fully stocked kitchen can significantly enhance the guest experience, providing them with the tools and amenities they need to feel fully at ease and taken care of during their stay. Here are a few tools that we always recommend outfitting before you go live:
|
An Enviable Coffee Station
We put the Keurig Duo in every house we manage. It's just perfect for big groups - they can make a pot of coffee in the morning and if someone needs just a cup to get through the afternoon slump, they can do that too! |
|
Durable, Oven Safe Pots & Pans This is one area where we'd recommend splurging for quality. Guests will put them in the oven and they will put them in the dishwasher, so investing in quality pieces that are built for wear and tear makes all the difference. We love the Ninja Foodi pots and pans! |
|
|
A Reliable Blender You'd be surprised how many guests request having a blender - whether they're making margaritas or smoothies - we don't ask questions, but love the Ninja for either! |
|
Mixing Bowls Nothing is worse than trying to make a meal for a big group and not having bowls! We love these classic stainless steel nesting bowls for durability and space saving. |

A Wide Variety of Kitchen Utensils
We love a kitchen gadget, but no you don't need a bench scraper or a lemon juicer. However, having a wide range of utensils for your guest to cook with is key to making them feel like they're in their own home. We love this extensive utensil set because it comes in several colors and can match your kitchen! |
|
Glassware & Place Settings for a Crowd
This is definitely an investment, but guests will remember (and comment on) your dishware, or lack thereof. A rule of thumb is always having enough glassware and place settings for your maximum guest count. Choose something sturdy but classic and bonus points if you have a few extra. |

Outfitting a new short-term rental with a fully stocked kitchen is an investment that pays off in guest satisfaction, convenience, and positive reviews. By prioritizing this space, you create a welcoming space that exceeds expectations. Remember, a well-equipped kitchen is not just a practical necessity but an opportunity to create lasting memories and build a stellar reputation as a host.
