Owners often ask us about adding welcome baskets and guest books to their vacation rental homes to enrich their guests’ experience. While there is not one right answer, below are things to consider before making the decision to start either or both practices.

 

Welcome Baskets

A vacation rental basket is an array of gifts that welcome your guests to your home. The gifts may be necessities such as bottled water and toothpaste or snacks such as popcorn and cheese crackers. Welcome items are usually nonperishable and can stay on the counter until they are enjoyed. Branded materials such as pens or coasters with your house name or the property manager’s logo are other possibilities.

Some owners who put out welcome baskets state they receive favorable feedback from guests in online reviews. Recommended items for baskets or trays include:

• A bottle of wine
• Snacks and treats
• Microwaveable popcorn
• Local coffee
• Postcards
• Pens
• Bug spray
• Sunscreen
• Small tablets
• Maps

Owners also voice concerns with using welcome baskets:

• The cost to keep baskets stocked can add up with short stays.
• Accounting for individual preferences and needs is difficult.
• Concerns about the logistics – will the cleaning crew restock and make the basket look the way you prefer?
• Items that are inappropriate for some guests such as food with nuts for those with nut allergies or wine for recovering alcoholics.
• Baskets may work better for hosts who maintain their own properties between guests.

All of the homes Arizona Vacation Home Rentals own and manage have fully stocked kitchens and enough soap, toilet paper, paper towels, dish and laundry detergent to get guests through the first few days of their stay. Owners may choose not to have welcome baskets since so many other items are supplied.

 

 

Guest Books

In this context we are referring to guest books that are journal-like and for guests to sign and add personal facts, feedback or recommendations. This is not about books with directions for caring for the home, use of products in the home or local information.

Many owners like having an ongoing history of their home’s guests (or at least the ones that sign the book). They say guests who write in guest books are the ones who usually write online reviews of their experiences in the vacation home.

Other owners share reasons why they do not use guest books:

• Online reviews have replaced guest books and give future guests the opportunity to learn  about the property in advance of booking.
• Guest books add nothing to a guest’s stay or experience. Owners should focus on more important aspects of hosting.
• Guest books may be more appropriate for local hosts who maintain their own properties instead of hiring a cleaning crew or property manager.
• Some guests may think they only need to write in the guest book and skip writing an online review.

• The information in the book may be outdated for new guests.
• Guests (such as teens) sometimes leave inappropriate comments.
• Keeping the book clean can be a challenge: over time they look dingy or dirty.

 

Conclusion

We hope the points addressed in this blog answer questions or concerns owners have about using baskets or guest books. Keep in mind that Arizona Vacation Home Rentals values online reviews and we encourage most guests to write them. There is no mention of either welcome baskets or guest books in any of our communication with guests.

Arizona Vacation Home Rentals (AVHR) is aware of owner’s concerns about squatters occupying their short term rental properties. Vigilance and prevention are key and AVHR actively works to avoid squatter problems at all of the properties we manage.

A squatter, by definition in Arizona, is someone who occupies a property without permission. Squatting is a form of trespassing. Squatters are not the same as “holdover tenants” who are living illegally in a property because their lease has expired.

Adverse or hostile possession by squatters is recognized in Arizona but it is a more complex process than in many states. For starters, unless there are no existing structures, squatters must continuously and openly occupy the property for 10 years or longer. Also, the burden of proof of property ownership falls upon the squatter: they must show documentation of paying taxes and maintaining or making improvements. In most cases they must hire an attorney to assume adverse possession.

 

 AVHR takes numerous measures to prevent squatter problems:

• A background check may be done by us or other OTAs before reservations are confirmed.

  • Guest must have a government issued ID and complete profile

• • Guest must have satisfactory credit scores and pass online criminal background checks

  • Guest must have satisfactory reviews from prior hosts

• In addition to online vetting, we personally talk to each guest explaining our expectations and the details in the rental agreement.

  • Guest who appears to withhold information or communicates poorly is refused

• • Guest who raises red flags because of comments, questions or attitude is denied

  • Guest requesting rentals for 30+ days are assessed in even more detail before renting is permitted

• Our in depth rental agreement is detailed, legally binding and must be signed before information regarding access to a property is shared with guest.

• We often require a security deposit in advance of occupancy.

• We do in-person checks on all of our homes, occupied or vacant, on a regular basis.

• We ensure properties are well maintained and appear occupied, even when vacant.

• Between guests, we check doors and windows to make sure they are secure and locks and bolts work.

• The outside property is evaluated to ensure gates, fences and walls are secure and discourage trespassers.

• Our outdoor security cameras and NoiseAware alert us to potential problems.

• When guests are occupying a home, suspicious and unacceptable behavior is addressed immediately with a home visit.

• Guests who are committing rental violations such as smoking, illegal drugs or exceeding total number of allowed guests (parties) are usually told to leave immediately.

• If necessary, local law enforcement is involved to ensure a quiet exit when guests are told to vacate the premise for rental agreement violations (this is rare).

Notes of Interest

• Although Airbnb posts on their official site that they help owners who have squatter problems, recent news articles report otherwise. Owners with squatter problems have contacted Airbnb for assistance and been denied any support.

• In Arizona, if someone occupies your house without being on the lease and refuses to leave or the lease is expired, you may need to treat them as a tenant and follow the states judicial eviction laws. Unfortunately, this can be time consuming and expensive as this typically involves submitting a formal eviction notice for non-payment of rent or a lease violation followed by engaging in court proceedings.

By studying guest browsing data and feedback we can determine the amenities guests desire most in short term rentals. We know pools are the #1 amenity in the greater Phoenix area. Most of our homes have private pools or access to a community pool. The few without have limited outdoor space or are governed by HOA rules that prevent adding a backyard pool.

 

The good news is that in addition to pools, there are many other amenities you can add to boost your bookings. The ideas below will show up under your home’s Amenities on the popular booking platforms.

 

Top guest choices for your backyard:

• Hot tub

• Fire pit

• Putting green with golf clubs

• Corn hole game

• Smart music speaker/sound system

• Bar with mini fridge

 

Favorite recreational amenities:

• Bicycles (mountain bikes if you’re near trails)

• Kayaks

• Fishing gear

 

Appealing indoor activities:

• Pool table

• Pingpong table

• Foosball

• Air hockey

• Video games

• Board games

• Books

• Smart music speaker/sound system

• Exercise equipment

 

In-home conveniences:

• King beds

• Ceiling fans

• Portable fans

• Dedicated work space

• Desk with chair

• TVs in ALL bedrooms

• Safe

 

Family friendly amenities:

• Highchair

• Travel crib or Pack ‘N Play

• Children’s dishes and utensils

• Kitchen table booster seat

• Children’s books

• Children’s toys and games

 

 

We ask our owners to check with the Arizona Vacation Home Rentals management team before adding larger amenities that use floor or outdoor space such as a pool table, desk or putting green. Homes overcrowded with furniture or large games will not be popular with guests.

 

We are happy to help you make choices that improve the overall appeal of your vacation property. Also we can recommend features that will hold up over time and in our climate. AVHR asks that current owners who add amenities inform us so we can add the new amenities to your home’s listing.
