15 Small Kitchen Luxuries for Vacation Rentals from Amazon

Written by Hannah Lapin | Aug 13, 2019 2:00:00 PM

Rentals United, a short-term rental technology industry leader, says that small kitchen luxuries, such as rice cookers and juicers, can make your vacation rental stand out from the others. Additionally, according to a poll from Statista.com, 64% of vacation rental bookers opt for a vacation rental instead of a hotel because of the access to a kitchen. Investing in your vacation rental kitchen clearly can have an impact on your reviews and your bookings. That’s why we found some small kitchen luxuries on Amazon to add to your vacation rentals:

1. Stainless Steel Knives


Rentals United points out that “beautiful, sharp” knives make a difference. We like the Cuisinart 15-Piece Stainless Steel Set; it offers superior quality and design, plus is dishwasher safe.

 

2. Non-Stick Spatulas

The M Kitchen World 4 Piece Spatula Set is heat resistant, non-sticking, flexible and sturdy, stain and odor resistant, and dishwasher safe.

 

3. Waffle Maker

What’s better on vacation then freshly baked waffles? The Presto Ceramic FlipSide Belgian Waffle Maker is brushed stainless steel and includes a digital timer. It is also compact and easy to store.

 

4. Touchless Trash Can

How nice would it be for guests to open the kitchen trash can without using their hands? The iTouchless 13 Gallon Automatic Trash Can has an odor-absorbing filter, convenient controls, and extra-long battery life.

 

5. Espresso Machine

How nice would it be to get up on vacation and have an espresso in minutes while still in your pajamas? The AICOK Espresso Machine is a 2-in-1 espresso maker and milk frother that is efficient and fast and offers a large capacity.


6. Coffee Machine

For the instant, click-of-the button cup of coffee we like the Keurig K-Classic Coffee Maker.

 

7. Toaster Oven

Opt for a step up from a basic toaster. The Hamilton Beach Toaster Oven has toast, bake, and broil settings. Use for pizza, chicken nuggets, toast—whatever you need!

 

8. Juicer

We love the Hamilton Beach Juicer Machine it makes healthy, homemade juice in seconds and can fit extra large fruits and vegetables. Plus, how many vacationers have them at home?

 

9. Quesadilla Maker

What a fun snack or family meal! The Brentwood Quesadilla Maker makes 8 inch quesadillas, has a non-stick cooking surface, and is easy-to-clean.

 

10. Cook Book

This one can often be forgotten, but could come in handy. Add a fun twist with The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook

 

11. Breakfast Sandwich Maker

These can be so fun in the mornings! We like the Hamilton Beach Dual Breakfast Sandwich Maker because it is super and and makes two sandwiches at once.

 

12. Air Fryer

Air Fryers are really trendy now! The Ninja Air Fryer can be used for air frying, roasting, reheating, and dehydrating and is easy to clean.

 

13. Crockpot

On vacation especially, it's nice to throw a meal together in the morning and gather for dinner in the evening. The Hamilton Beach Extra-Large Slow Cooker holds up to 10 quarts, has three temperature settings, and is easy to clean.

 

14. Mini Food Processor 

For easy chopping, mincing, and mixing, we like the Hamilton Beach Food Processor/Mini Chopper. It's compact for easy storage, yet holds up to 3 cups.

 

15. Spiralizer

Guests can easily make vegetables into ribbon, medium or thin spirals with the Fullstar 3 in 1 Spiralizer.
