For Property Owners & Hosts

Everything Your Rental Needs Before the First Guest.

Starting from scratch? This is the list. We split property setup into three categories so you can get guest-ready without buying everything at once — while still meeting the standards guests expect.

How It's Organized

Buy What You Need, When You Need It.

Not everything has to be in place on day one. Start with what's required, then build from there.

Category 1

Required Before Listing Goes Live

Kozy At Home's basic readiness standards, along with applicable legal and safety requirements. The property should be fully equipped for its advertised maximum guest capacity.

0 of 63 items ready

Bedroom Essentials

Why we recommend duvets, not comforters: A duvet cover comes off and goes straight into the wash, and it dries quickly. A comforter is bulky and takes much longer to dry, which slows down same-day turnovers. Duvets keep laundry fast and linens fresh between every stay.
Laundry: Kozy At Home charges a $50 laundry fee for washing and drying the property's linens and towels.

Bathroom Essentials

Kitchen Essentials

For properties advertising a kitchen.

Cleaning & Turnover Supplies

Safety & Property Operations

Important: The property must meet applicable building, fire, licensing, and safety requirements before accepting reservations. Kozy At Home may also require additional items based on the property's layout and advertised amenities. Not sure what your city requires? See our Permitting Guide.
Category 3

Optional Guest Amenities

Not necessary for every rental, but these may improve guest satisfaction and help attract certain types of travelers.

0 of 38 items ready

Additional Comfort

Kitchen & Hospitality

Family-Friendly Amenities

Outdoor & Recreation

Convenience Amenities

Choose with intention: Select optional amenities based on the property's location, guest profile, available space, and operating budget. Any advertised amenity must be available, safe, and properly maintained.
Suggested Timeline

Launch in Three Phases.

A practical order for spreading out setup costs.

Phase 1 — Pre-Launch

Complete Category 1

Everything on the required list must be in place before accepting guests. This is the initial property readiness requirement.

Phase 2 — First 30–60 Days

Work Through Category 2

Add recommended upgrades based on your available budget, guest feedback, and operational needs.

Phase 3 — Ongoing

Add Category 3 Selectively

Introduce optional amenities based on guest demand, reviews, and potential return on investment.

Who Buys What

We Help You Invest Wisely.

The property owner is responsible for providing the furnishings, linens, supplies, equipment, and safety items, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. We'll walk the property with you to determine what you already have, what must be purchased, and what can wait.

Kozy At Home can assist with:

  • Reviewing the property's existing inventory
  • Identifying missing essentials
  • Recommending cost-effective products
  • Coordinating supply purchases
  • Organizing linens and cleaning storage
  • Establishing cleaning and restocking procedures
  • Conducting a pre-launch property readiness inspection
