What products work well

Top-performing guest offerings include:

  • Rental Gear: Bicycles, beach umbrellas, paddleboards, baby strollers.
  • Stay Services: Early check-in (2 hours early), late check-out, mid-stay cleaning.

How to price products

  • Cost Plus Margin: Factor in retail price + delivery/stocking labor.
  • Premium Convenience: Guests happily pay a premium for pre-stocked items that save them a trip to the store after a long flight.
  • Tiered Packages: Offer Standard and Deluxe options for packages.

Get better product images

  • Bright Natural Light: Take photos in daylight near windows.
  • Clean Backgrounds: Use marble, wood, or neutral countertop surfaces.
