Short-term rental investors have to provide certain essentials that long-term rental property owners do not typically provide (think towels). While we usually advise offering additional amenities to make your properties more appealing (the competition can be tough), we pulled a list of essentials for every rental property and a list of nice-to-have items.

- Bath Towels (at least 2 per guest)
