Spring Travel Tip #2: Ensure guest safety outdoors.
Spring marks the beginning of travel season, and as an Airbnb or Vrbo owner, it’s essential to prioritize guest safety outdoors and indoors. Never neglect to maintain your property. This means providing a clean, safe outdoor space to reduce the risk of on-site injuries.
Ensure a safe outdoor environment:
- Fix known hazards like broken or damaged steps or decks
- Ensure hand railings are in place and secure on all stairways
- Properly illuminate walking paths to deter both injury or attempted theft
- Clear obstructions from all walking paths
- Fence in any pool or jacuzzi and provide clear safety instructions to reduce the risk of slipping on the pool deck, head/spine injuries from diving, or accidental drowning
- Replace any broken patio furniture
- Provide instructions for securing umbrellas in the event of inclement weather
- Check your lawn for hidden divots or dangers and mark appropriately
Slips and falls are the most common form of guest injury, so it’s important to prioritize safety.
