The Guide to Airbnb Vacation Rental Supplies, Toiletries, & Product

When setting up your vacation rental there are many products and supplies you’ll need to consider stocking and replenishing. There are standard items within your kitchen and bathroom that should be provided to all your Airbnb guests. These extend to toiletries, kitchen supplies, and cleaning items. Above and beyond these standard items are stocked items that will really stand out or even exceed your guests expectations!

This list encompasses all the standard, optional, and truly standout items Airbnb hosts can stock within their short term rentals. To learn what amenities you should have to furnish your vacation rental, please check out our Short Term Rental Amenities Checklist.
