Globe Beyond Yourself

A curated resource for new hosts, built from real experience, balancing affordable and elevated pieces, and shaped by what guests actually want.

Setting up a short-term rental can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to balance cost, quality, and guest experience. I created this checklist as a resource for new hosts like me, figuring it out in real time, making intentional decisions, and learning what actually matters.

I took my time curating this list, selecting a mix of both affordable and elevated pieces, living in the property myself, and refining the space based on what truly enhances the guest experience.

To make it easier to navigate, I’ve broken everything down by category, so you can move through your space one area at a time, focusing on what you actually need without overcomplicating the process.

Use this as a starting point to build a space that feels complete, intentional, and guest-ready, then refine as you go.
