Creating an Outdoor Oasis for Your Guests: A Guide for Hosts

Would you want to sip coffee on a cozy patio? Roast marshmallows with your kids by a fire pit? Or maybe relax by a private pool after a long day of exploring ? Think about what travelers want when they’re away from home and bring that to life in your backyard.

Creating designated zones can make even a small backyard feel like a luxury resort. Consider:

• Dining area: A patio table with an umbrella and some string lights is perfect for outdoor meals.
• Lounge space: Think outdoor couches or chairs with throw pillows and blankets.
• Fire pit area: Safe, stylish, and always a crowd-pleaser.
• Grilling station: A quality grill and utensils can make your property stand out for guests who love to cook.

As a local property management company, JayzStays encourages hosts to reflect the personality of the city. Use native plants, showcase local art outdoors, or name your patio something fun like “The Oasis” in your listing description.

Make sure your outdoor space is usable in different seasons:

• Provide blankets or an outdoor heater in cooler months
• Offer shade, fans, or even a misting system during the hot summer days
• Keep everything clean, tidy, and well-lit for safety and ambiance.

Your outdoor space won’t boost bookings unless people see it. That’s why JayzStays works with professional photographers to capture each property’s best angles—especially the outdoor highlights. Eye-catching photos on Airbnb, Vrbo, or Booking.com can significantly boost your rental’s visibility.

At JayzStays, we specialize in full-service property management in the area, and we know how to turn your rental into a five-star stay—inside and out. From design consulting and outdoor upgrades to professional cleaning, maintenance, and guest communication, we’ve got your hosting needs covered.
