Airbnb Must Haves: For a stocked kitchen
In my opinion, the kitchen items are the ones that are the most complained about. Nothing is worse than not being able to open a bottle of wine, cut a pizza, or open a can! The kitchen has so many must have items here are some of the basics. A lesson...
Things that need to be replaced often
These are kitchen items we have added to our list of supplies for cleaners to check each time for replacement.
I personally don't use paper towels I use resusable- most guests don't appreciate that.
We buy coffee in bulk to save on single use plastics like K-cups.
1 pack lasts awhile
Good to have some handy as it's a listed Airbnb amenity.
Leave a few extra somewhere near the trash can.
Buy once and you are good (mostly)
These items you shouldn't have to replace super often.
Recommend buying a black coffee maker instead of a white one shows less coffee stains.
Invest in some good pots and pans. 3 of each at least.
Don't forget the silverware holder
If you don't get a knife set with scissor buy them separately.
Steel ones can rust if you are in a humid climate
Recommend black and leave the lid off- it will just get dirty.
We have stayed in some places that don't have one. It's annoying!
For cooking, salads, popcorn.
We don't have one is some units because they are hard to clean but are a nice touch to have.
Buy Cheap
These are things that we have found are better to buy cheaper. I love a good dining set but you can get similar things for much cheaper that look just as good!
We love buying simple glassware from the Dollar Tree that way if it gets broken no big deal!
Recommend simple bowls and plates from Dollar Tree so if they break no big deal!
Recommend buying spatulas, measuring cups and spoons, and a few cooking utensils from the Dollar Tree.
Dollar Tree has drying mats for under the drying rack that we like to prevent mold.
Plastic is always better than glass.
Metal can rust so think about material.
Don't buy cheap
These items you don't want to have to keep buying if you buy cheap ones.
Do not buy a cheap can opener you will need to replace it quickly.
Recommend 2 of each
These do get ruined sometimes
Cheap ones rust
It's nice to have a beer bottle opener and can opener in one!
You don't want a super cheap one.
I love these chairs easy to clean, comfortable, lightweight!
