Open House 101: Arrange furniture to showcase your home’s best assets.
In this case, we can’t decide whether those are the shiny wood floors or the floor-to-ceiling windows looking out to the patio.
Regardless, owners of Arizona vacation rentals should take a cue from this property, a home worthy of its Open House Sunday status.
Spacewise, the Gilbert vacation rental makes good use of six bedrooms with ooh-la-la touches like tray ceilings, arched doorways and sexy curves, from the jacuzzi tub to the sweet wet bar. Mesa-style accents, including tile floors and knotty wood doors, also lend rustic luxury to this desert oasis.
If you look at other features, there’s a sense that the home’s designer thought of both families and playboys. The living area is huge–more than 6,000 square feet–and there’s a nursery (or small bedroom) for the kids. For “overflow” guests (grandma and grandpa or the neighbors), an 800-square foot home stands in the rear, complete with its own kitchen, living room and bedroom. A super wide driveway, gated for security, boasts enough room for an RV and six cars in a side garage.
On party day (which is everyday, right?), kick back in the home theater or by the billiards table before retiring to the lagoon-style pool.
With all this, that $3,000 weekly rate you paid will seem like the best money you spent all year.
