Once the owners have bought into the idea of creating a vacation rental, Baker wastes no time in getting the property ready for guests. She helps with the redecoration of the property, providing tips on how to create unique spaces that guests will love. She also advises on the necessary amenities guests will expect, as well as providing advice on how to make the property more functional, such as giving storage solutions to make the property feel less cluttered.
Throughout the process, Baker reinforces the importance of making the property look and feel like a vacation destination, rather than just someone's home. She recommends incorporating artwork, beachy decor, and other touches that will create a memorable experience for guests.
Once the property is ready, Baker and the owners discuss pricing, taking into account the current vacation rental market, the location of the property, and the amenities offered.
