Best blue tooth speakers that you can secure for STR?

[Chris K.]

I’m looking to add some blue tooth speakers for indoor space and outdoor pool patio for short term rental home.

I need to be able to secure them so guests aren’t tempted to take them and move/ destroy. Any suggestions ?

I have been thinking of adding a Amazon Echo. Works as a BT speaker but then can play any kind of music once you setup a special Amazon account for it.

I did buy one, but haven't set it up yet. I was concerned some people might freak out with all the Echo listening in on you stuff.

Essentially Bluetooth speakers are meant to be portable for the most part. Anything that is more permanent are really quite expensive.

It is a risk that they could grow legs. We have a clause in our rental agreement that says you take something from the house, you pay a minimum $100 no matter what it is.  Someone took the $5 waffle maker, said they really liked it so they figured they would grab it when I asked them about it. I charged them $100 for it. They were pissed.
