The Ultimate Gift Guide for Beach House and Rental Property Owners

Managing a rental property comes with unique challenges, especially when it comes to furnishing and maintaining outdoor spaces. If you know someone who owns a beach rental or residential property, helping them out with some great gifts can be a fun way to support them.

But here’s where some people get frustrated – how can you make sure you surprise them with a gift that will last a lifetime and fit their rental style?

Lucky for you, we’ve pulled together a gift guide to the best rental house gift ideas – so you’ll be the star of the holiday season!

 

Before You Buy, Remember That Durability Matters

Before we get into our recommendations, let's look at why specialized outdoor furniture is crucial for rental properties.

Not only do you want to make sure that the furniture you buy is stylish and fits the space, but you want to trust that it’ll take a beating – particularly if the home is going to be shared by various tenants over time.

When browsing outdoor furniture for rentals, make sure to find options that can stand up to heavy use and varying weather conditions. Look for durable materials like poly lumber that can withstand constant use and exposure to the elements.

Also, consider investing in furniture covers or placing the pieces in a covered area when not in use to protect them from potential damage. This will also help extend their lifespan and save you money in the long run.

Now, let's take a look at some gift ideas that are perfect for rental house owners!

 

1. Weather-Resistant Seating Essentials

Adirondack Chairs: The Coastal Classic

Nothing says "beach house" quite like Adirondack chairs. These stylish lounge chairs have been around for awhile, and they’re a staple of modern homes. Here are our top picks:

• Italica Modern Adirondack Chair: Perfect for contemporary properties with its sleek design and weather-resistant construction

 

 

• Hamilton Folding Reclining Adirondack Chair: Ideal for properties with limited storage space
• Waterfall Comfort Height Adirondack Chair: Excellent for elderly guests or those who prefer a higher seat position

Pro Tip: Choose lighter colors for beach properties as they stay cooler in direct sunlight and complement coastal aesthetics. This will help to create a calming and inviting atmosphere for guests!

 

Porch Swings: Adding Charm and Comfort

Porch swings are always a hit (given that the rental home has a spot to hang one!) Create an inviting entrance or relaxation spot with these options:

• Weatherly Single Seat Swing: Perfect for small porches or creating intimate seating nooks

 

 

• Lehigh 4ft Porch Swing: Ideal for larger porches, accommodating multiple guests

 

Rocking Chairs: Traditional Comfort

Add a touch of traditional comfort with rocking chairs. Outdoor-worthy rocking chairs allow you to enjoy the outdoors from a comfortable seat while bringing a cozy vibe to a porch or outdoor space.

• Westport Adirondack Rocking Chair: Combines classic Adirondack style with gentle rocking motion
• Lehigh Rocking Chair: Traditional design perfect for front porches

 

 

2. Smart Additions for Existing Furniture Collections

What if the rental property is already equipped with some of the options above? You can easily complement a variety of furniture pieces with extras that will tie the space together nicely.

Why not take a look at what they already have and buy them the perfect addition? Here are some of the best gifts for property owners who already have basic furniture pieces:
