You’ve probably heard the term “minimalism” tossed around a lot, especially when it comes to holiday rentals. While a clean, clutter-free space is a must, going too far can make your property feel cold and uninviting. At Shakell Property, we believe in a different approach—one where a few personal items can make all the difference in creating a warm, welcoming space for guests.
An overly minimalist property can feel sterile, more like a hotel room than a home away from home. Think about it: a holiday is a chance to escape, and people want a space where they can truly relax and feel comfortable. When a property is stripped of all personality, it’s hard for guests to connect with it.
Adding a few personal touches can transform a rental into a memorable holiday experience. We’re not talking about clutter—we’re talking about thoughtful items that give the place character. Think a bookshelf with a few interesting reads, a unique piece of local art on the wall, or a cosy throw blanket draped over the sofa. These small details make a big impact. They tell a story and make guests feel like they are staying in a loved and cared-for home.
Creating a welcoming atmosphere isn’t just about making guests happy; it’s about increasing your bookings and getting those glowing five-star reviews. Guests are
more likely to leave positive feedback and recommend a property that feels special and unique.
It can be a tricky balance to strike—the perfect mix of professional cleanliness and homey comfort. That’s where we come in. At Shakell Property, we take care of all the details, from professional photography that showcases your property’s best features to ensuring it’s meticulously cleaned and maintained between guests. We’ll help you present your holiday rental in a way that attracts guests and keeps them coming back.
