Ways to standout

Hello everyone! 

My wife and I are considering making our LTR into an STR. I know with as many STR that are going up, I know one of the biggest things to do is to make sure your property stands out in the crowd. To help us brainstorm some ideas, what are some unique aspects or amenities you have seen or done yourself? We're open to any and all ideas, we're in the stage of no bad ideas!

For a bit of context, our rental is in a large college town and is very athletics centric, so right off the bat (pun intended) I like having a sports heavy theme. But to be honest, that's as far as I have gotten. 

Thank you!

Here are a few suggestions!

-Sports Memorabilia: you can decorate the property with sports jerseys, framed autographs, or posters of local college teams or famous athletes.

-Game Room: set up a dedicated game room with a pool table, foosball table, or even a basketball hoop for some indoor fun.

-Sports Equipment: footballs, basketballs, or frisbees that guests can use during their stay.

-Sports Channels and Subscriptions: guests can watch live games and sporting events.

-Outdoor Activities: If you have a backyard or outdoor space, consider adding a small basketball court, volleyball net, or even a putting green for guests to enjoy.

    Best of luck with your STR venture, and I hope your sports-themed rental becomes a hit!! :)
