How to Make Your Vacation Rental Properties Safe and Secure


When it comes to property management, is there anything more important than security? Sure, modern amenities and guest experience are high on the list (and BeHome247 can help with both). Still, without a portfolio of safe and secure vacation rentals as a baseline, you’re opening your business up to risks that are relatively easy to mitigate. 

Here’s the good news: achieving vacation rental security is attainable and can even be a breeze—especially with the right tools. Let’s dive into our top tips to make your vacation rental properties truly safe and secure.

Conduct a Thorough Property Assessment

The first thing any property manager should do to improve a vacation rental’s safety and security is conduct a comprehensive property assessment to pinpoint potential vulnerabilities. Look for easy access points to minimize security breaches and check the strength and integrity of doors and windows. It’s not just about locking down; it’s about understanding each property’s unique layout and potential weak spots. It’s also about identifying hazards and risks and emphasizing areas that may threaten the well-being of its occupants.

Continue this examination by considering the surroundings at each property. Are there areas that provide unwanted cover for intruders? Could lighting be improved to enhance visibility? This detailed analysis ensures you can strategically implement effective security measures tailored to each property’s specific needs.

Schedule Regular Maintenance

Ensuring the safety and security of your vacation rental starts with a proactive maintenance strategy. Regular inspections are vital; they help catch minor issues before they escalate into more significant problems. Consistent upkeep not only preserves the integrity of your property but also plays a crucial role in safeguarding your guests.

And regular maintenance is not just about responding to immediate issues—it’s about preventative measures. This ongoing effort supports your property’s structural and operational aspects, ensuring everything functions as intended. It bolsters security measures and enhances guest satisfaction, making each stay safe and enjoyable. When guests feel secure, their trust in your services increases, enhancing your reputation as a reliable and attentive property manager.

Incorporate Smart Devices

Enhancing your properties with smart devices marks a significant step towards heightened security. Remote-controlled technologies such as smart locks, security cameras, and alarms offer a dual benefit of convenience and enhanced security. These innovations deter potential security threats and provide real-time monitoring capabilities, giving you and your guests added peace of mind.

Moreover, integrating smart devices streamlines property management processes, saving time and reducing operational costs. For instance, smart locks can eliminate the need for physical key exchanges, making check-in and check-out processes smoother and more secure. This integration improves the efficiency of managing your properties and enhances the overall guest experience by providing a seamless and safe stay.

Strengthen Access Control Measures

Ensuring that only authorized individuals can access your properties at designated times is crucial for maintaining security. That’s why BeHome247 integrates with leading lock manufacturers like Dormakaba, Yale, igloohome, Schlage, and KwikSet. These partnerships provide top-notch access control solutions designed to safeguard your premises effectively and allow for customized access permissions managed remotely, ensuring that only verified people can enter at specified times. This comprehensive approach to access control protects your properties and reassures your guests, contributing to a safe and worry-free stay.
