When planning the flooring and finishes for a short-term rental, you have some decisions that you approach differently from an everyday home or even a long-term rental.
Short-term rentals uniquely mean that you see a lot of turnover if things go well from an income perspective. This turnover might include guests with and without children, larger and smaller groups, and you might also allow dogs, which will factor heavily in your design decisions.
Your flooring isn’t necessarily an amenity that will make or break the experience from the perspective of your renters, but it’s important for a few reasons.
The first is your costs. To maximize the profitability of your short-term rental, you need to ensure that you’re choosing enduring and long-lasting materials. You don’t want to chip away at your revenue by replacing flooring every few years if you can help it.

When investing in flooring for a short-term rental, the considerations are slightly different from what you might think about in your own home. You have to consider the guests you’re ideally targeting and how they’re most likely to use the space. Yes, durability is part of this, but there’s more to the equation, too, including your nightly rates, comfort, and aesthetics in photos and person.
