Plan for next upgrade to our STR

[Kristie Dimak]

We bought a home on the Oregon Coast that was an active STR. It hadn't had any updates in a long time, we are going through and picking them off one by one. We've swapped out the old 40 gallon hot water tank (for a house that sleeps 10!) for a tankless system that will give everyone a hot shower, run the dishwasher, and washing machine all at the same time. We've just torn out the old stained carpet and put high end laminate throughout. The roof was just replaced. Next up will be either kitchen updating, bathroom updating, or adding a shower to the 3rd bathroom (it's a half bath only). Thoughts on which to do first? The house was built in the 70's, so the master and guest bathrooms are in need of updates, although they are clean and function fine. The kitchen is a little funky and dated but again, functions fine. My sense is that adding a 3rd shower might be the best bang for our buck, but pics of a pretty new kitchen could also pull in some renters. I'd love to hear from some of you who have way more experience at this than we do!
