Guest-ready homes earn more and review better.
A well-stocked vacation rental is one of the most important contributors to guest satisfaction and 5-star reviews. At Book NOLA, we don’t just manage your home, we help you prepare it for peak performance.
Our guide to stocking your property ensures every guest has the essentials they expect — plus the local touches that turn a good stay into a memorable one.
Whether you’re furnishing a brand-new short-term rental or upgrading an existing one, we’ve developed a proven checklist based on thousands of guest stays and direct feedback. The goal: boost satisfaction, minimize maintenance issues, and increase repeat bookings.
Essentials We Recommend:
Kitchenware
Full sets of dishes, cookware, utensils, and small appliances like a coffee maker and toaster. Bonus points for extras like wine openers, blenders, or air fryers.
Bathroom Supplies
Plentiful towels, hand soap, hair dryers, and black makeup towels (yes, guests notice!).
Bedrooms
Quality mattresses, blackout curtains, extra linens, and thoughtful touches like luggage racks or bedside chargers.
Living Spaces
Comfortable seating, smart TVs, fast Wi-Fi, and entertainment like board games or streaming accounts.
Safety Items
Fire extinguishers, smoke/CO detectors, first aid kits, and clearly labeled emergency contacts.
Local Flair
New Orleans guidebooks, jazz playlists, Mardi Gras beads, or locally made snacks like Zapp’s Chips, our specialty.
We Make It Easy
Need help sourcing these items?
Book NOLA can provide direct purchasing guidance, connect you with local vendors, or even stock your home on your behalf during onboarding.
We also offer an optional upgrade kit to enhance your property’s appeal for luxury travelers or long-term guests.
A stocked home is a booked home. And a booked home is a profitable one.
