There is no shortage of Aspen vacation rental options, so homeowners seek any advantage to stand out. Many homeowners choose to enhance their rental by renovating or adding features and amenities, and improvements can bring more bookings and revenue. But which upgrades deliver the most significant return? This week, our blog team looks closer at Aspen/ Snowmass vacation rental upgrades that deliver the most significant returns to owners.
Updates for the Most ROI to Homeowners
Decor
The interior appearance of the rental is of utmost importance, and the current demand is for modern, contemporary décor. Guests are looking for the freshest and brightest lodging for their mountain getaway, regardless if it is summer or winter. After a long day of mountain activities, the number one request the Frias reservations department receives from its guests is a comfortable space to return to so they can relax and prepare for the next day.
Aspen Snowmass homeowners work with the property managers at Frias Properties to coordinate improvements and renovations in their Aspen or Snowmass vacation rental. The property manager can assist owners with everything from selecting furniture and appliances to choosing a universally appealing paint color. As we all know, styles can change over the years and are in the eye of the beholder. Our property managers can help owners distinguish between personal taste and timeless style.
Appliances
Frias Properties guests love staying close to the gondola, skiing off the mountain to enjoy lunch in their condo, and returning to the slopes. All Aspen condo rentals should include most of the comforts of home, including the ability to prepare meals and entertain guests. Each rental should have dishes, silverware, pots, pans, and all the accouterments of any primary residence. However, upgraded appliances transform kitchens from simply functional to the primary gathering place in a vacation rental, and that amenity is can turn a condo into a top-requested vacation rental. Our property managers recommend stainless steel appliances, a high-end range/stove, and a premium brand refrigerator for owners to enjoy a return on their kitchen investment.
Landscaping
From the most miniature condominiums to the largest private homes, landscaping is the key to generating bookings and revenue. Plants, flowers, and other landscaping features can bring out the beauty of a condominium or private home, especially during Aspen's peak summer months. The property management team at Frias assists owners with landscaping duties, including everything from watering plants and trimming trees to ice and snow removal. Homeowners can request the services from the property management team once they are on management.
Air Conditioning
Although it is rarely used in Aspen, air conditioning is an amenity that many travelers expect. Local homeowners may balk at the request since Aspen's summer climate is so temperate, but guests from Florida, Texas, New York, and California are accustomed to living with A/C. Listing this amenity with a Aspen vacation rental is a surefire way to generate more bookings.
