If you are planning on purchasing real estate in France with the intention of making a bit of extra income by renting it out while you are not using it, be aware that there are many other rental properties in France on the market and that you will have to make your France property stand out to renters in order to have the advantage. One of the ways that you can make your real estate in France memorable and have your guests recommending it to their friends is to improve their holiday rental experience with the use of special extras.

What Sort of Extras?

These little extras can be anything that improves your guests stay at your France property. For example, if you are often renting your home to families with children, why not include a few board games, children’s activity books, and child friendly DVDs to keep the youngsters occupied while parents relax or during the odd rainy day? You could also stock a small library of books for your visitors to read. It doesn’t cost you much to supply these items, but it can greatly improve your visitor’s experience.

A Welcome Pack

Your renters will likely arrive at your property in France after having flown for several hours and perhaps taken transport as well. They will be tired and jet-lagged, and it might be too late in the day for them to go to the shops. They will be immensely grateful for a nicely put-together welcome package that contains a few items of fresh, local food such as cheese, olives, bread and a bottle of wine. This can also be a way to showcase the local wines and produce of your particular region of France.

Outdoor Extras

As well as supplying food and entertainment within your holiday property in France, don’t forget to consider providing extras for outside fun as well. You can purchase a couple of second hand bicycles, have them tuned up, and offer them to your guests as a free mode of transportation which will make getting around much easier for them. You could also provide balls, skipping ropes, and other toys for children to enjoy. Don’t forget the pool accessories! A swimming pool becomes a lot more fun when there are a few floating mattresses or a beach-ball to play with.
 
It’s all About the Guests

Providing these extras for your rental home might seem unnecessary, but they make a huge impact on the experience of your guests. They will notice the difference, and will be more likely to recommend your fun and well-equipped holiday rental to their friends and family, and come back again year after year.
