Believe it or not, my places look super stylish and I am usually 100% occupied. 

Put some simple, planter boxes (about 2-2.5 feet high) out from the house under the balcony-so you can still sit behind them. 

They'll wear shoes with rocks inside, won't clean up dirt so they can grind it into the surface and set planters that leak onto the wood floor that you won't see until they leave.You should've put in something like LVP. 

Decorate with stylish touches.

I would want to make it renter proof and stylish. 

When I build a new home here, I am required to install rain harvesting tanks (or rain planters) based on the square footage of the roof.

@Eric CanningBackground: My wife and I are Airbnb superhosts with a few properties in the Poconos.We’ve had our share of troubling guests: - People who blast music at 2 AM and wake up the neighbors (our units are in an HOA so security is dispatched immediately)- People who don’t know how to operate a grill and nearly burn down a portion of deck railing- Late checkouts - Bacon grease on the walls, or crayons, or both- Clear evidence of weed and cigarettes being smoked inside the property (we have a strict, no-smoking rule)- Planters thrown from the deck two stories down, and lamps broken (same guest for both) - Holes in walls that obviously look like they came from a boot (drunken)I’m telling you this because we have opted not to review any of these guests negatively; rather, we don’t review them at all.

The kitchen isn’t super stylish, but it could rent this way for sure.

@Rudy Planter We came up with that date just to set an internal deadline/goal for ourselves and a realistic timeline for us to interview property managers, network with local businesses and research the area.

Your finishes look stylish and modern.
