Southwest Florida is a great place to visit- it’s no wonder so many of your friends and family want to make the trip to see you! Of course, that also puts a lot of pressure on you and your house. Staying with you makes financial sense for them and makes it easier to spend as much time together as possible, a major benefit for everyone. The question becomes, is your house ready? If you don’t think so, here are a few steps to take in order to get ready:
#1 Make Sure They Have Access to a Fantastic Guest Bathroom. Whether you have one extra guest or four, you will need to give them their own bathroom to get ready for the day and clean off afterwards. The last thing you want is a line for your shower! For many homes, that means a newly-remodeled bathroom is needed. Of course, you’ll want the remodeling team at Beattie Development to be the ones to do it! Some homes may even need us to create a new bathroom, which we can also do. When we say you can have a new bathroom, we mean entirely new. If your home doesn’t have the amount of bathrooms you need when family and friends stay over, you aren’t stuck sharing. It’s easier and more affordable than you may think!
#2 Help Them Feel at Home. You want them to know they are welcome in your home and that means making everything comfortable and relaxing for them. Stocking the bedside table with current magazines or books that are a quick read is one easy way to go about doing this. Your guests will appreciate the chance to wind down after a long day of fun-in-the-sun activities. You can also make sure they don’t miss any planned activities or an early morning flight by placing a small clock in their room. Just a few simple additions to the room will go a long way toward making them feel at ease.
#3 Ensure the Kitchen is Stocked and Efficient. Getting your kitchen ready means much more than just buying snacks. A few extra mouths to feed means the focus is going to be on your kitchen during their visit. Can your current kitchen handle it? If not, it’s a good idea to make some changes before your guests arrive. You may be surprised just how big of a difference some new appliances, extra countertop space, and an island make in your ability to make a big meal for everyone. When you contact Beattie Development to discuss your kitchen remodel options, don’t forget to ask about our special offer through Cambria Quartz to obtain 12 months same as cash financing!
#4 Add Some Decorative Accent Pieces to the Room. You don’t want their room to feel bland and bare like a hotel room. They’re staying with you, not strangers! Be sure to let your personal sense of style flow throughout their room, maybe even add some framed photographs to the wall. Get them into the Southwest Florida mood by adding fun decorative pieces to the room that fit with a beachy theme, and maybe even some live and local plants.
