Discover Your Ideal Seaside Retreat Find the Perfect Beach Rental
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION You probably already know what beach to visit, but choosing a specific unit can be challenging. Is a rental with a grand view of the beach and the ocean worth the cost, or is one without the view (but less expensive) still acceptable? You’ll also need to examine the surrounding area to ensure it has everything you need. If you don’t want to drive much once you settle in, choose a rental within walking distance of the beach, shops, and restaurants. EXTRAS You should consider a couple of other things when booking a beach rental. If you plan to bring your pets, ensure the rental you book is pet-friendly. It’s also worth investigating if the beach itself is dog-friendly, as bringing your furry friend to the beach can make the vacation even more enjoyable. Many rentals also provide beach toys, body boards, and
One of the most important decisions anyone will make regarding their vacation is where they stay. This is especially true for summer vacations at the beach. Everyone has a different idea of their ideal vacation, and where you stay can make or break the trip.
more so you don’t have to spend money buying or renting them at shops. Read through the rental description, and don’t hesitate to ask the owner any questions.
Here are a few things to consider before booking a beach rental for your vacation.
SIZE MATTERS How many people are coming on your trip? Is it just you and your significant other, or are children coming? You want to pick a rental to fit your family’s needs. If your traveling party is small, a condo or apartment overlooking the beach will likely work. If your family is large or you’re worried about the kids being too loud, consider a single-family beach house instead.
Upgrade the Dining Experience
HOW OUTDOOR SEATING CAN BOOST REVENUE
During the pandemic, outdoor dining helped keep many restaurants afloat. It has even changed the fabric of cities. In Seattle, Nate Riordan notes, “Those seats are never coming off the sidewalks; they make neighborhoods more interesting.” They’ve also been helping businesses thrive long after our return to “normal.” Outdoor dining is a potential source of added revenue, but many franchisees overlook its possibilities. Most quick-serve restaurants have an outdoor seating option, but they usually place a few tables outside and call it a day. There’s much more to creating an inviting outdoor dining area, and how much you boost your profits is in the execution. But the existence of an outdoor dining area won’t make your customers want to use it. The seating options outside your establishment should be at least as comfortable and appealing as the ones indoors. You might even consider making them a bit nicer. After all, new customers and people driving by will see your patio before they see your dining room. The outdoor dining experience you create sets the tone and expectations for your entire restaurant.
Choose comfortable and durable seating options that will last and attract customers to your outdoor space. Furniture that looks cheap or easily breaks will have the opposite of the intended effect. Don’t forget to pay attention to the details. Have you ever tried sitting at a piping hot table on a sunny summer day? It’s extremely uninviting, so use umbrellas and other forms of shade to make the space usable for as many days of the year as possible. Consider making your outdoor dining enticing in other ways. For a start, don’t crowd tables. Customers should be able to move freely, and the extra room will make the area more attractive to large groups or parents with children. You might also consider ways to make the outdoor space feel like a destination. A unique plant, piece of art, or other creative focal point will inspire selfie-seekers to stop by and help you promote the restaurant on social media. Investing in outdoor dining has the potential to boost profits in many ways. An attractive patio will generate interest from new customers and encourage existing ones to stop by more often (and bring their friends). If you’ve been neglecting this area of your business, it’s time to give it another look.
