For Short-Term Rental Owners Looking to Improve Guest Experience
Your Backyard Could Be One of Your Property’s
Most Valuable
Features
Guests don’t just book a place to sleep. They book a stay they can enjoy, remember, and talk about.
For many short-term rentals, the outdoor space is often underused. But with the right improvements, a simple backyard can become one of the strongest reasons guests choose your property over another.
A well-designed pool, spa, outdoor kitchen, patio, sauna, putting green, or game area can help your listing stand out, improve the guest experience, and support stronger nightly rates over time.
A Better Outdoor Space Can Add Value in More Than One Way
You already own the property. You’ve already invested in the mortgage, furnishings, photos, cleaning, and guest experience.
The question is whether your outdoor space is helping your rental perform as well as it could.Thoughtful backyard upgrades can provide two meaningful benefits.
First, they can improve the long-term value and appeal of the property itself. Second, they can help create a more memorable guest experience, which may support higher rates, better reviews, and more repeat bookings.
A pool can make a property more attractive for family vacations. A hot tub can help extend appeal into cooler months. An outdoor kitchen can encourage longer stays for groups and families. A pickleball court, sauna, or putting green can give guests a specific reason to choose your listing over others.
The goal is simple: create an outdoor space that feels less like a basic backyard and more like part of the vacation.
Outdoor Features That Can Help Your Rental Stand Out
Each of these options can be designed around your property, your space, and the kind of guests you want to attract.
Custom Pools
A pool is often one of the most appealing features for vacation rental guests. It gives your listing a strong visual focal point and can make your property more attractive to families, groups, and guests planning longer stays.
A custom pool can be designed to suit your lot, your climate, and the overall style of the property, helping your rental feel more complete and more desirable.
Spas & Hot Tubs
A spa or hot tub can add year-round appeal, especially during cooler months or slower seasons.
For couples, small groups, and guests looking for a relaxing getaway, a private hot tub can be a meaningful feature. It adds comfort, atmosphere, and a reason for guests to choose your property even when pool season is quieter.
Patios & Hardscapes
A well-designed patio helps bring the entire outdoor space together.
It creates a clean, comfortable area for guests to gather, eat, relax, and enjoy the property. Hardscaping can also make other features — such as pools, fire pits, spas, and outdoor kitchens — feel more intentional and high-end
Saunas
A private sauna can appeal to guests who value wellness, relaxation, and a more premium stay.
It does not require a large footprint, but it can make your property feel more distinctive. For guests looking to unwind, recover, or enjoy something they may not have at home, a sauna can be a strong added feature.
Cold Plunges
A plunge pool can be a smart option for properties with limited space.
It offers the appeal of a pool without requiring the size or investment of a full in-ground pool. For smaller lots, urban rentals, or compact outdoor areas, a plunge pool can still create a strong visual and guest-experience upgrade.
Outdoor Kitchens
An outdoor kitchen can make your rental more appealing to families and groups who want to cook, gather, and spend more time at the property.
Features such as a built-in grill, counter space, seating, and a bar area can turn the backyard into a central part of the stay. This can help encourage longer bookings and create a more enjoyable guest experience.
Pickleball Courts
Pickleball has become a popular activity for groups, families, and friends traveling together.
Adding a private court can give your rental a unique point of difference, especially in markets where most properties offer similar amenities. It gives guests something fun to do on-site and can make your listing more memorable.
Golf Putting Greens
A custom putting green is a low-maintenance feature that adds visual appeal and entertainment value.
It works well in unused corners, smaller outdoor areas, or properties designed to attract guests who enjoy leisure, golf, or outdoor activities. It is simple, attractive, and can help make the backyard feel more complete.
The Right Backyard Can Make Your Property More Memorable
Not every rental needs every feature. The best approach is to choose the upgrades that fit your space, your market, and the type of guests you want to attract.
Done well, your backyard can become more than an extra area behind the house. It can become one of the main reasons guests book, stay longer, leave stronger reviews, and remember your property.
