This is an interesting point. I’ve been told that based on the size/location of the property, if I rent weekly during the rental season I can command $5,000 a week ($715/night). I’m emotionally uncomfortable charging that much to be honest, even if it is what I can get, so I think I’m trying to imaging people filling this house with multiple families together or large groups of friends so that I don’t only feel like I’m renting to the super wealthy… but for one more bed, this might be kind of ridiculous reasoning, as it’s not definite I’ll ever fill all those beds.
The house has five bedrooms, two bathrooms. It has a huge living room, separate den/rec room, and significant yard space/outdoor furniture. It also has an outdoor shower which is good for after the beach or lagoon. The place can easily handle 10-12 people without feeling over crowded, but you’re right about cost going up regarding replacing items that get used more heavily.
If I’m uncomfortable charging what I’ve been told I should ask, I guess I can just drop the price and hope to get smaller (8-10) groups of people.
