Upgrade Your Appliances & Electronics
Guests have high expectations when it comes to appliances and electronics. They want the same quality that they have at home or better. Black Friday is the perfect time to evaluate and decide if it is time for an upgrade. Additionally, vacation rental homes see more wear and tear. You can expect to replace items more often than in a primary residence. We recommend choosing mid-grade options in terms of quality/price.
