Recommended Products I Use to Outfit My Short-term Rental

When we made the decision to turn our old home into a vacation rental, I scoured the internet for recommendations on what kind of pillows, sheets and furniture to buy.

I wanted high quality, yet affordable options.

And I wanted to hear from someone who’s done it, who’s tested what works.

I found bits and pieces of information, I ordered products to test them out first, and I learned the hard way not to ask in a Facebook group what kind of mattress to use. A vicious debate ensued…

With that said, here’s a running list of the products I use in my vacation rental that I will continue to use and would recommend to others! 

 
 
 
 

Bedroom

Pillows

Pillow covers

Pillow cases

Mattress covers

Tried a few out, these don’t make all the noise the others make!

Mattress

I started out with these mattresses but I’m slowly phasing out for Casper brand mattresses.

I put these over the tub / shower for guests to put down themselves. Easier to wash than bathroom rugs.

I’m Emily and in 2018 I left my corporate engineering job to jump into entrepreneurship with both feet. It was a winding road with lots of pivots that allowed me to realize my ultimate goal: to build freedom in my life through empowered investing and aligned partnerships. 

I want to help you find that same freedom.

Whether it’s buying your first home and analyzing the investment component of your purchase, or it’s saving up to buy your first investment property, I want to cheer you on, share my experience, and encourage more people, like you, to build freedom in their lives through empowered investing.

If you’d like support in any of these areas, send me a note and we’ll continue the conversation!
