Then I tried Home Depot’s home decors LVP on a higher end rental and the vacuum scratched and peeled a few parts and have also seen minor chips I’m guessing from objects falling.

I see a lack of decor even if you decide not to go themed.

We also furnish our rentals and thus we also furnish and decorate them in our style, but we think the point still matters.

I'm not counting things like upgrades, renos, decorations; just fees that are considered after the sale

We decorated with antlers and cactus.

I recommend Gene Grats with Grats Decor His wife is a designer and he's a contractor and they have done some great work.

So to negate my risks, I got my short term license made sure it all legal, got a little extra insurance policy, any of furniture and decorations I bought I'm sure I can sell if need, and I'm currently looking at different software packages/ platforms that I can host the property on the various channels (VRBO, Booking.com, Expedia, etc) to get a more exposure.

Are you planning to decorate yourself and self manage? 

Things such as HOAs, maintenance, furnishings, decor changes, broken items, and utilities are a few that I see people “forget” to put in and then they lose a little money.  

This can include rearranging furniture, adding decorative touches, and making the space feel welcoming and inviting.Highlight unique features: Make sure to highlight any unique features or amenities that your home has to offer.
