Running out of toilet paper or towels mid-stay? It’s costing you 5-star reviews.
Let Our Team Manage Stocking, Supplies, and Turnovers For You >>
Stock-Outs = Bad Guest Reviews
You’ve got a beautifully staged property in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, or Palm Beach—but if your guests arrive to:
- No shampoo or conditioner
- Not enough towels for the group
- A single roll of toilet paper
- No coffee or kitchen basics
It won’t matter how nice your place is—your reviews will suffer.
Running out of basics is one of the easiest vacation rental mistakes to make—and one of the most damaging.
Real Host Story: Review Damage in Boca Raton
A host in Boca Raton self-managed a beachside condo. They stocked up once a month but forgot to double-check before a same-day turnover. The next guest arrived with no trash bags, no paper towels, and only one bath towel per guest.
Despite a beautiful unit, they left a 3-star review, citing “unprepared and underwhelming” guest experience.
Why Stocking Inventory is Harder Than It Looks
❌ No Standardized Lists
If you don’t use a checklist, you’ll miss something important—especially on back-to-back bookings.
❌ Turnovers Are Rushed
Most hosts rely on cleaners to restock, but cleaners aren’t inventory managers.
❌ No Backup Supplies
If your extra linens, TP, or toiletries aren’t stored on-site, last-minute restocking is a nightmare.
❌ No System for Reordering
If you’re reordering supplies manually each time, you’ll always be behind.
Essential Items Every Vacation Rental Should Always Have
🧴 Toiletries
- Shampoo, conditioner, body wash (travel size or bulk dispensers)
- Hand soap in bathrooms and kitchen
- Toilet paper (2–3 rolls per bathroom per stay)
- Tissues, cotton pads, or makeup wipes
🛏️ Linens
- 2 full sets of sheets per bed
- 2+ pillows per guest
- 2–3 bath towels per guest
- Hand towels and washcloths
- Spare blankets and duvets
🍽️ Kitchen Essentials
- Coffee, filters or pods
- Dish soap, sponge, paper towels
- Trash bags, salt, pepper, oil
- Basic cookware, utensils, and dishware for group size
How to Stay Fully Stocked and Stress-Free
✅ 1. Create a Reusable Inventory Checklist
Break it down by room (kitchen, bath, bedroom) and share it with your cleaners or turnover team.
✅ 2. Store Backup Supplies On-Site
Use a locked owner’s closet or cabinet for extra linens, toilet paper, soap, etc. This prevents emergency runs.
✅ 3. Use Amazon Subscribe & Save
Set up auto-deliveries of your most-used items on a 2–4 week schedule, based on booking pace.
✅ 4. Track Usage Over Time
If you host mostly 4-guest groups for 3-night stays, you’ll know exactly how many towels and toiletries to prep.

Why This Matters in South Florida
- High humidity = more towel use
