Fast Remodels To Make Your Vacation Rental Summer-Ready

Is Your Vacation Rental Summer-Ready?

If you own a vacation rental in Myrtle Beach, you already know how competitive the summer season can be. With travelers scrolling through Airbnb, Vrbo, and booking sites looking for the perfect place to spend their trip, first impressions, updated interiors, and unique amenities matter more than ever.

But you don’t need a full gut job to make your rental stand out. Strategic, fast-turnaround remodels can increase your property’s appeal, boost your reviews, and even allow you to raise your nightly rates! At ReBuilders, we specialize in interior renovations that transform vacation properties into high-performing rentals, without taking them offline for the entire season.

If you’re looking for ideas for quick updates before the summer kicks off, here are some impactful remodels to consider before peak season hits.

Small Kitchen Remodels

Vacationers want convenience and a fun place to take vacation pictures—even if they’re only cooking breakfast. A cramped, outdated kitchen is a booking killer, but a light cosmetic remodel can work wonders. While a full gut may be what you have in mind, there are tons of tiny changes you can make that can completely transform the way your kitchen comes across in listings. A few ideas include:

  • Swap old laminate countertops for modern quartz or butcher block.

  • Install open shelving or spice racks for an airy look.

  • Replacing dated cabinets with clean finishes and in-style colors like earth tones or off-whites.

  • Add a tile backsplash that’s easy to clean and easy to love.

Bonus points for incorporating a coffee bar nook—a trending amenity that guests love to post about. These can be easily built into extra wall space or incorporated bar cart!

Bathroom Updates (Without the Full Reno)

After a day at the beach, guests need a clean, refreshing bathroom to rinse off and relax. Have you ever come home from the beach and not showered? However, you don’t need to rip it to the studs to make it memorable.

Quick-win bathroom remodel ideas:

  • Replace old fiberglass tubs with sleek walk-in showers.

  • Upgrade to matte black or brushed brass fixtures for a modern touch.

  • Install waterproof luxury vinyl tile flooring for durability and style.

  • Add wall hooks and built-in shelves to improve function get laundry off the floor.

Even a new vanity and mirror combo can give the space a boutique hotel feel. Don’t forget that floor-length mirror!

Bunks and Bonus Beds

If your vacation rental has a hallway, alcove, or flex space that isn’t being used, consider turning it into a custom bunk nook. Families are always looking for extra sleeping space, and built-in bunks make your listing more versatile. While an additional bedroom would be great, it doesn’t have to be such a project. Even converting an extra office into additional bedding can make a huge difference for your online listing. Would you rather have an Airbnb that sleeps four or one that sleeps five?

Add reading lights and storage drawers underneath to make it both functional and fun. Switching out wall ports to include USB options is always a plus, especially for those guests who always forget their charging blocks (we know you’ve been there). You’ll instantly appeal to families with kids or groups traveling together, and your occupancy potential goes up.

Sunroom Conversions That Feel Like a Bonus Living Room

Sunrooms are wildly underutilized in many vacation homes. With the right upgrades, they can become the most Instagrammable space in your rental. Not only does it give guests a reason to get outside without having to deal with the Myrtle Beach heat, it also can become a great option to spend meals outside, watch TV in your downtime, and a perfect mudroom for those post-beach days. Our go-to enhancements include:

  • Add cooling systems or ceiling fans for summer comfort.

  • Install fresh flooring and weather-resistant furniture. Don’t be afraid to include several outdoor rugs as well for those cold floors.

  • Create a reading or game lounge with built-in benches or daybeds (with more extra sleeping space!)

A remodeled sunroom is a huge selling point—perfect for lazy mornings, card games, or sunset wine.
