Including baby items in STRs

[Kelly Whitaker]

My husband and I are looking to get our first STR soon. We've been thinking about different items we want to offer our guests, including baby items like highchairs, portable cribs, etc. (Our target guests are families with young children travelling together.) Multiple young families could mean multiple babies needing a place to sleep, so...

Has anyone offered TWO of each baby item? Would this.....

A- increase our bookings

B- increase our chance of having 1 of the 2 items stolen

Help settle the debate! Thanks!

 It depends on your house size I suppose. I own some really large houses and in those houses I do indeed stock baby supplies because we tend to host a lot of multi generational families and we are often getting requests: “my niece just had twins, do you have two cribs and two high chairs?” So we do! it seems to get us bookings that we might not otherwise get
