Choosing amenities and essentials for your vacation rental home bathroom doesn’t have to be hard! No matter the size or number of bathrooms in your vacation home, we have made it simple to provide the must-have essentials to lead to positive reviews and repeat bookings. From 6 piece bath towel sets to band aids, we have it covered. Here’s a list of must-have bathroom essentials for your vacation rental.

1. Basic Toiletries

  • Toilet Paper: A good rule of thumb is to provide at least two rolls per bathroom and a few extra stored in an accessible location.
  • Hand Soap: Liquid hand soap is preferred over bar soap for hygiene reasons. Opt for a pleasant scent that’s not too overpowering.
  • Shampoo and Conditioner: Travel-sized bottles are a nice touch, and having full-sized options can provide you with easy refill options during turnover.
  • Body Wash or Bar Soap: Offer both if possible. Some guests prefer bar soap, while others like body wash.

2. Towels and Linens

  • Bath Towels: Provide two high-quality bath towels per guest. Having extra towels available is a thoughtful touch, especially for longer stays. We recommend Turkish bath towels for long term use and its incredible power to remain soft wash after wash.
  • Hand Towels and Washcloths: Place hand towels near each sink and washcloths in a convenient location. Again, go with Turkish cotton towels for the best bang for your buck.
  • Bathmat: A non-slip bathmat is nice to have for safety and comfort.

* An easy way to get started is with any of our 6 piece bath towel sets.




3. Personal Care Items

  • Hair Dryer: A compact, powerful hair dryer is a must. Wall-mounted models save space and are easy to find.
  • Toothbrush and Toothpaste: Keep a few disposable toothbrushes and toothpaste tubes on hand for guests who might forget theirs.
  • Razors and Shaving Cream: Disposable razors and a small can of shaving cream can be lifesavers for guests if you want to go above and beyond.

4. Safety Products

  • Sanitary Products: Stock a couple tampons and sanitary pads for emergency situations. These are easy to find under the sink. Your guests will appreciate the convenience.
  • First Aid Kit: Include basic first aid items like band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and pain relievers.
  • Plunger: A plunger is great to have available for guests and can keep you from an expensive plumber’s visit.

5. Comfort and Convenience

  • Mirror: A good-sized mirror is essential, and a magnifying mirror is a great bonus.
  • Hooks and Shelves: Ensure there are enough hooks for towels and robes, and shelves for toiletries. Hooks are great for guests to hang towels and robes so they can reuse them during their stay.
  • Night Light: A soft night light can be helpful for guests unfamiliar with the layout of your home.
  • Extra Amenities: Consider adding a few luxurious touches like bathrobes, slippers, and a small selection of bath salts or bubble bath.

By providing the essentials in your vacation rental home, you can ensure your guests have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Thoughtful touches in the bathroom can make a significant impact on their reviews and increase your chances of repeat visitors. Purchasing quality 6 piece bath towel sets can decrease your costs in the long run. Remember, a well-equipped bathroom reflects the care and attention you put into your rental, making guests feel welcome and valued.
