Get Ready for the 2026 U.S. Open: A Homeowner’s Guide with Luxury Beach Getaway

The 2026 U.S. Open is set to tee off at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York, from June 18–21. For homeowners in the region—or anyone who owns through our Luxury Beach Getaway portfolio—this is a prime moment to prepare your vacation rental property for both elevated demand and discerning guests. Below are five key strategies to maximize visibility, streamline operations, and ensure a five-star guest experience.

1. Fine-Tune Your Calendar & Pricing

With the U.S. Open being a marquee event on Long Island, demand surge is a given. The Luxury Beach Getaway team recommends:

  • Open your availability early (if not already).
  • Apply premium pricing for the tournament window (June 18–21) + pre/post stay bookings (guests often extend their stays).
  • Consider minimum nights (e.g., 4–5 nights) during the event to capture longer stays and reduce turnover.
    By leveraging Luxury Beach Getaway’s marketing channels and guest network, you’ll position your home as a premium choice for this event-week audience. One of the many perks of working with Luxury Beach Getaway— we will handle all of this for you!

2. Upgrade the Luxury Touches

Guests attending the U.S. Open expect something special. Small upgrades can make a big difference:

  • Ensure upscale linens and towels — high thread-counts, extra linens, and plenty of beach/pool towels.
  • Create an outdoor relaxation zone: a two-seater lounge, firepit or ambient lighting. Make your home a sanctuary where guests and players alike can unwind after a long day.

3. Make Guest Logistics Easy for a Big Week

Large events bring lots of movement — arrivals, departures, transport, etc. Help your guests feel supported:

  • Supply a digital guide (via the Luxury Beach Getaway platform) with recommended transport routes, parking options (particularly for the U.S. Open at Shinnecock), local dining/bookings, and quick access to beach days when they’re not at the tournament. Be sure to point guests to our Plan Your Stay page to browse our full list of local recommendations.
  • Mention our concierge style services: grocery pre-stocking, private chef/catering referrals, babysitting or kids-club partners for families enjoying the tournament while kids do other activities. These are just some of the services our Luxury Beach Getaway team is happy to help with.
  • Consider flexibility (early check-in or late check-out) for guests arriving onsite for the event.

4. Promote the Location, But Balance the Escape

Part of the appeal is attending a world-class event and then retreating to your tranquil luxury home. Leverage this:

  • In your listing description (via Luxury Beach Getaway’s marketing), highlight proximity to Shinnecock Hills and the U.S. Open (“Only X minutes from Southampton and the 2026 U.S. Open championship”).
  • At the same time, emphasize the respite: “After a day on the galleries, return to your private pool, ocean breeze and family-friendly space away from the crowds.”
    This dual promise—event excitement + luxury escape—is what guests are after. With our top-notch marketing strategies’, your home is in the best hands.

5. Be Ready for Guest Needs During Event Week

Because this is a major sporting event, guests may have different expectations or needs. Being proactive sets your home apart:

  • Ensure fast, reliable WiFi (guests may stream tournament coverage or check real-time stats).
  • Provide a quiet zone or designated kids entertainment area so families can enjoy downtime while others catch highlight reels
  • Have a clear guest-support line (via Luxury Beach Getaway’s property management team) for any last-minute issues — transport delays, extra towels, local recommendations for when tournament action winds down. Debbie is standing by to respond in real-time to all guests’ needs, one of the many resources that set Luxury Beach Getaway apart from those big-brand management teams.

Why Stay in Southampton/Near Shinnecock Hills

Get Ready for the Excitement of the U.S. Open Championship

Your Guide to the U.S. Open: A Memorable Experience Awaits

  • Luxury + leisure – The Hamptons region offers upscale homes, beachfront or near-beach settings, excellent dining, charming village shops, and the laid-back yet refined ambiance that makes a stay feel special.
  • Vacation rental market advantage – With the U.S. Open drawing large crowds, the rental market in the area will be very busy. Staying right in Southampton gives you a strategic home-base.

  • Clarify dates & durations – Events like the U.S. Open often require a minimum stay and may have premium pricing for the tournament window.
  • Transportation & parking – Staying in Southampton means less driving; ask us about parking, shuttle options, and best arrival/departure times.
  • Ask about amenities – Especially for event week: pool heating, outdoor spaces, comfort features (AC, Wi-Fi), and how accessible the property is for event logistics. Some homes (like the lake-front one) may offer quieter stays, great for decompressing after event days; others (pool/hot tub/beach) bring full luxury for the stay.
  • Consider your schedule – You’ll attend the tournament, but you’ll also want some downtime: beaches, local restaurants, village walks. Choose a property that lets you pivot between event and leisure.
  • Budget for premium – Expect elevated rates for the U.S. Open period + possible extra fees (pool heating, hot tub, cleaning).
  • Confirm proximity/travel to venue – Even staying in Southampton, check how long it will take to get to Shinnecock Hills Golf Club on event days (traffic will be heavier).
  • Reserve your home first, then tickets: Secure your vacation rental so you have the stay sorted, then lock in tournament tickets.

Attending the 2026 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills is more than just about golf — it’s an experience. By securing one of these Southampton-area homes via Luxury Beach Getaway, you’ll position yourself for both front-row tournament access and a top-tier Hamptons experience.

How Luxury Beach Getaway Uses Smart Tools to Maximize Your Rental Revenue in the Hamptons & North Fork

Top 5 Local Markets to Explore on Long Island’s North Fork

The North Fork isn’t just about vineyards and beaches—it’s also home to some outstanding farmers markets that showcase the region’s freshest produce, best baked goods, rustic charm, and community spirit. If you’re staying with us at one of Luxury Beach Getaway’s North Fork properties, here are five markets you won’t want to miss:


1. Greenport Farmers Market (Mitchell Park, Greenport)

When: Every Friday from 2:00 pm to 5:30 pm (May through October) 
Why go:

  • It’s beautifully located in Mitchell Park right by the water, so you can pair a market run with a stroll along the waterfront. 
  • Expect fresh fruits & veggies; breads; meats, seafood, cheese; artisanal goodies like pickles, preserves, baked goods, and more. The variety is excellent.

Pair it with your stay:
If you want to be just minutes away from this market, consider relaxing at the Luxury Beach Cottage: Wineries, Shopping & The Hamptons. This charming beach cottage is not only close to vineyards but is also perfectly positioned for visits to Greenport.


2. Riverhead/East End Food Market (Riverhead)

Where & When: This is a year-round farmers market (through East End Food Institute) located in Riverhead, operating several days per week plus Saturdays.
Highlights:

  • Extensive selection of fresh local produce, baked goods, seafood, cheese, jams, honey, etc.
  • Rain or shine: don’t let the whether stop you from exploring the market.

Near which property:
For a stay that gives you easy access to Riverhead’s amenities (including this market), check out our Once Upon a Tide: a true beach house on the North Fork that is spacious, offers great views of the Long Island Sound and easy drives into Riverhead.


3. Little Creek Oyster Farm & Market (Greenport)

What & Where: Located in Greenport’s Bootleg Alley, this is a seafood market/raw bar. 
Why it’s special:

  • You can get oysters, clams, smoked fish and other seafood fresh off local boats. Perfect if you love maritime flavors.
  • The setting is classic North Fork—port-side, rustic, charming. Great for bringing back tasty items to your vacation rental to cook or just enjoy overlooking the harbor.

Combine with which stay:
The Sunset Perch: with a private pool and rooftop deck, this North Fork house is an excellent option. After gathering seafood from Little Creek, you can fire up the BBQ or grill at the house and dine al fresco with a view.


4. Farm Stands & Roadside Markets Across Riverhead & Mattituck

Looking for something less formal? See where the day takes you when you take a scenic drive along Sound Avenue. You will find a network of farm stands and roadside markets across Riverhead, Mattituck, and neighboring towns—one of the North Fork’s greatest charms.

What you’ll find:

  • Seasonal produce (berries, corn, peaches, tomatoes, etc.)
  • Orchards offering “pick-your-own” fruits when in season (apples, peaches, berries, etc.)
  • Homestyle baked items, homemade jams, honeys, artisan items, often from generational family farms.

Stay nearby recommendation:
If you want to be immersed in the farm-stand culture, check out our Large Modern North Fork Barn: this vacation home’s backyard backs up to the vineyards, and many of the farm stands are just short drives away.


5. Seasonal & Specialty Markets

These are markets that pop up or run only seasons (spring through fall, harvest times) or are focused on specialty items (flowers, pickles, mushrooms etc.). Some examples:

  • Pure specialty producers via Greenport Farmers Market (mushrooms, small-scale picklers, bakeries, etc.) 
  • Vendors in the East End Food Market who specialize in baked goods, cheeses, plants, crafts. 
  • “Popup” offerings at wine farms or vineyard stands, especially during harvest time or weekends. You must try Palmer Vineyards’ Sunset Fridays event, offering wood-fired pizza that showcases farm-to-table ingredients harvested right on the North Fork.

Stay suggestion:
To be ideally located for these specialty runs, try the Diana Luxury Retreat Private. It gives a peaceful base from which to explore markets, vineyards, and hidden seasonal gems.


Tips for Getting the Most Out of Market-Hopping

  • Go early: freshest produce, best baked goods, and the best picks from vendors often disappear by mid-day.
  • Check seasonal hours: many markets are seasonal; some shift indoors, some close during winter. The East End Food Market is year-round; Greenport’s market is seasonal. 
  • Bring your gear: reusable bags, cooler for perishables (especially seafood), cash (though many accept cards).
  • Mix market visits with scenery & wine: The North Fork has wineries, farm vistas, waterfronts—and many properties make for a lovely home base to spread out what you’ve gathered.

If you’re booking your next North Fork escape and want help choosing the perfect property near your favorite markets—we’re happy to help you plan!

How to Transform Your North Fork Vacation Rental into a Luxury Resort

By thoughtfully integrating premium comforts with expert service—like that offered by Luxury Beach Getaway—your vacation rental can deliver an elevated, unforgettable experience reminiscent of the finest resorts. Here’s some ideas on how to scale your vacation home to maximize your profit and guests’ satisfaction.

1. Start with Curated Elegance

Luxury resorts are defined by seamless service and thoughtful design. Luxury Beach Getaway brings that to vacation rentals with properties across the Hamptons and North Fork that feel boutique yet welcoming. Take, for example, the East Hampton Retreat—a Hamptons house offering a heated pool, BBQ, and a dedicated home office space, perfect for both leisure and productivity or our Classic Southampton Home: a spacious 5-bedroom home with both a pool and jacuzzi—designed for relaxation and group comfort.

2. Layer in High-End Amenities

Luxury starts with well-chosen extras and key amenities: think private pools and hot tubs, like those found in the Classic Southampton Home—a 5-bedroom property with both pool and jacuzzi—elevate any stay. Even something as seemingly small as well-chosen finishes make all the difference to guests who want to make your property feel like home. Waterfront and sunset views, typical of the Waterview Collection, enhance the ambiance with nature’s scenery as a backdrop Luxury Beach Getaway. These homes are defined by panoramic decks, ocean vistas, and breezy, immersive design Luxury Beach Getaway.

3. Add Thoughtful Home-Style Luxuries

Small comforts can make a big difference and add palpable luxury. Features like fire pits, BBQ grills, outdoor seating, and game rooms promote communal relaxation and fun—common in family-friendly homes like Casa Playa or Once Upon a Tide. These stylish North Fork beachfront homes offer modern touches and dreamy views Luxury Beach Getaway. A well-equipped home office, as in the East Hampton Retreat, serves workcation travelers seeking productivity and calm Luxury Beach Getaway. Check out other work-friendly homes in our Workcation Collection. Try adding everyday comforts – well-appointed kitchens, office spaces, high-speed Wi-Fi, and seating areas matter.

4. Embrace Personalization & Excellence in Service

Luxury means anticipating needs. Luxury Beach Getaway operates as Airbnb Superhosts and Vrbo Premier Partners, ensuring elevated guest communication and care Luxury Beach Getaway. Our team brings deep local expertise and attention to detail that delivers a “resort-like” experience in private homes. We deliver concierge-level service. Guests can expect smooth communication, flexible check-in, and thoughtful details, including a bottle of local wine waiting for them, a full list of recommendations for their stay, and exclusive discounts to nearby attractions. Ask us about booking a private yoga session for your guests, a private chef or even booking dinner reservations. These are just a few of the personalized services we can offer to make your vacation stand out and feel like a luxury resort.

5. Showcase Local Ambiance & Access

Upscale resorts often root themselves in their locale’s charm. These rentals bookend Long Island’s relaxed coastal lifestyle—from chic boutique shops and cafes to calm bays perfect for paddling or serene walks Luxury Beach Getaway. Properties like Bahia Mar Beach House offer proximity to attractions like the highly-desired Peconic Bay Boulevard, local vineyards, and the most sought-after farm stands—opening your stay to local discoveries.

10 Must-Have Amenities That Keep Guests Coming Back

Guests are searching for the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and family-friendly appeal on their getaway to Long Island. As homeowners and property managers, we believe thoughtful amenities are what turn a stunning stay into an unforgettable tradition. Here are some must-have amenities that will keep guests returning season after season.

1. Private Pools & Hot Tubs

Hot tubs are one of the most searched-for amenities on Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com—alongside pools. Whether it’s a private plunge pool or a sprawling family pool with sun ledges and lounge chairs, water features are non-negotiable—particularly for little ones burning off beach-bound energy. For homes with limited backyard space, think about a hot tub or spa. This added luxury to your vacation rental can significantly boost its appeal, nightly rate, and booking frequency—especially in the colder months. On average, vacation rentals with hot tubs earn $20–$50 more per night, depending on the market. This can translate into thousands of dollars more per year in your pocket. Looking for inspiration? Check out our Sweet Retreat – A chic Southampton-style getaway with a private pool and outdoor jacuzzi, an elevated choice for tranquil evenings near vineyard tours.

2. Spacious, Well-Equipped Kitchens

Unlike hotels, guests book vacation homes for the comforts of home away from home. A kitchen stocked with the essentials (pots, pans, utensils, dishes, etc.) is one of the first things they look for when choosing a property. Nothing beats a fully loaded, gourmet-level kitchen when feeding hungry kids or visiting in-laws. Amenities like a coffee maker are relatively inexpensive and instantly add value. Whether it’s a basic drip machine, a Keurig, or an upscale espresso maker, it helps your home feel more complete. It’s small touches that make a big difference! Guests adore our Large Modern North Fork Barn — an architecturally striking, roughly 4,500 sq-ft modern “barn-style” loft in Mattituck. At the heart of the home is a stunning chef’s kitchen, featuring a massive center island, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, and sleek finishes that make it ideal for entertaining or preparing farm-to-table meals.

3. Outdoor Living & Dining Areas

Patios, decks with outdoor kitchens, fire pits, or multi-tiered terraces let families eat alfresco, play games in the open air, or simply laze in serenity. These spaces grow the living area and deepen the vacation vibe. Guests love the chance to enjoy meals in fresh air with scenic views. Plus, outdoor dining areas photograph beautifully, which makes the property more appealing in listings and increases booking potential. Take a look at our Bahia Mar — Set right on a private stretch of Peconic Bay, this property features a large fenced-in yard that offers both privacy and open space for outdoor fun. The yard is highlighted by a beautiful dining area where guests can enjoy meals overlooking the water, blending beachside relaxation with alfresco living.

4. High-Speed Wi‑Fi

Strong, fast internet is non-negotiable—whether guests are working remotely, streaming movies, or helping kids with schoolwork. Listings with high-speed wifi tend to attract travelers who are now mixing work and leisure — a “workcation” if you will. Wi-Fi has become just as essential as hot water or electricity—without it, a property feels incomplete to most modern travelers. Plus, guests will need stellar WiFi to leave your property a stellar review! Be sure to browse our Workcation Collection, designed for remote professionals seeking a blend of productivity and relaxation. These homes, located in the serene corners of the Hamptons and North Fork, offer fast Wi-Fi, dedicated office spaces, and peaceful surroundings with ample natural light. Guests can take calls from the patio, clear their inbox poolside, and explore the coast between meetings, all within inspiring environments that make working from home a pleasure.

5. Smart TV & Streaming Options

Cable is great but streaming is where it’s at! Smart-enabled TVs let guests log into their favorite streaming apps, making the stay feel more at home. Think — Netflix, Peacock, Hulu, Disney+ and so many more. Get this — rentals with streaming services stand out in listings, attracting more bookings compared to properties that don’t offer it. Including these popular platforms add a premium feel without significant extra cost! Seeking ideas? Take a look at our Costal Retreat, where guests can cozy up for unforgettable family movie nights under the stars. Hang out in the spacious living areas with a good flick or cuddle up in the master and stream your favorite rom-com. This home provides guests with plenty of space to relax and unwind.

6. Comfortable Bedding & Linens


Vacation is often about relaxation and rest. Comfortable bedding isn’t just a nice touch—it directly impacts guest satisfaction, reviews, repeat bookings, and even your potential income. It’s one of the simplest upgrades with a high return on investment for vacation rentals. It’s a smart move to invest in high-quality mattresses, fresh sheets, and plenty of pillows. Amenities like these will not only help create restful nights— but positive reviews too. This makes guests feel they are getting good value for their money, which can justify higher nightly rates. It will also enhance guest confidence in hygiene and overall property maintenance. At Nature’s Paradise in Mattituck, guests can unwind in serene comfort, with each bedroom offering high-quality linens and thoughtfully designed spaces that promote restful sleep. Whether they’re enjoying the master suite’s expansive water views or the cozy charm of the guest rooms, the bedding ensures a rejuvenating retreat after a day of waterfront adventures.

7. Climate Control


Heating, AC, and fans ensure year-round comfort, especially for longer stays or families with kids. Guests expect to be comfortable regardless of the season. Heating ensures warmth in cooler months, while AC keeps the property cool during hot summers. Without either, your rental could feel unbearable in extreme weather, leading to unhappy guests. Don’t forget — properties with climate control appeal to a broader audience. Families with children, elderly travelers, or anyone sensitive to temperature are more likely to book a rental that can maintain a comfortable indoor environment. Having proper climate control is also in the best interest of your property- proper heating in winter prevents pipes from freezing and reduces humidity-related damage, while AC in summer prevents mold and excessive heat damage to furniture and electronics. Properties without heating will solely be marketed for the warmer months. See our Beachfront Romance– a rustic one-bedroom cottage with oceanfront views, a cozy kitchen, and outdoor shower perfect for balmy summer days (no heat provided). Ideal as a sun-soaked, seasonal getaway, this beachfront gem invites carefree living with private beach access, A/C for comfort, and all the summer essentials packed in.

8. Washer & Dryer


In-unit laundry is especially appealing for families, long-term guests, and beachgoers who need fresh clothes and towels. They also reduce the amount guests need to pack, save them time and money compared to finding a laundromat, and can be a deciding factor when travelers compare properties. Guests can effortlessly extend their lakeside escape at Lake Panamoka Bliss, where a full washer and dryer make it easy to stay fresh throughout the stay—perfect for families, longer getaways, or active days on the water.

9. Beach/Pool Gear

Towels, chairs, umbrellas, and coolers are big perks for beach rentals. Travelers don’t have to worry about packing bulky items or renting them elsewhere, which makes their stay easier, cheaper, and more enjoyable. It also helps your property stand out in a competitive market—guests often filter listings by amenities, and “ready-to-go beach fun” can tip the scales in your favor. Families especially appreciate not having to buy or haul gear, and it creates a more seamless, stress-free vacation experience. Guests rave about the beach-friendly extras at our Casa Playa beach house, including bikes, kayaks, beach chairs and your very own wagon to take to the semi-private beach just a short stroll away.

10. Game room

A game room enhances a vacation rental by providing guests with entertainment that doesn’t depend on the weather or location. It appeals to families, groups, and multigenerational travelers by giving kids and adults alike a fun, social space to enjoy together. This not only increases guest satisfaction but also sets the property apart from competitors, encouraging more bookings and positive reviews. Homeowners looking to make their vacation homes stand out can reference our Sprawling Southampton Home, which offers a large pool and an entertainment-ready game room featuring ping-pong, foosball, a pool table, and even a bar for unforgettable group fun. Whether hosting a family getaway or celebrating with friends, this stylishly decorated home sleeps up to 13 and blends comfort with lively entertainment under one roof.

Game room in our Sprawling Southamption Home.

Here at Luxury Beach Getaway, our goal is to help families return comfortably, joyfully, and ready to make more memories. When families know they can expect both luxury and thoughtful touches in every stay, they come back time and time again. Let us know how we can help you enhance your property—and make comfort feel like tradition.

Top 10 Most Breathtaking Sunset Spots

10 Hidden Beaches on the North Fork

You’ll want these all to yourself

The North Fork is a place of pause. While the Hamptons hum with energy, the North Fork whispers—drawing in those who seek privacy, unspoiled views and a quieter kind of beauty. At Luxury Beach Getaway, we guide our guests toward experiences that feel personal. These lesser-known beaches offer room to breathe, uninterrupted moments and a sense of discovery that can’t be found in a crowd.

1. Bailie Beach Park, Mattituck

Set high above the Sound, this bluff-top beach is often overlooked. The shore stretches wide with driftwood and dunes. On most days, you’ll have it nearly to yourself.

2. Truman’s Beach, East Marion

A small, pebbled beach just off Route 25. It’s easy to miss, which is exactly why you’ll love it. The water is clear, the views are wide and the pace is wonderfully slow.

3. Nassau Point Beach, Cutchogue

Located at the tip of Nassau Point, this quiet bay beach is known for calm water and soft sand. It’s ideal for an early swim or a late-afternoon nap in the shade.

4. Klipp Park (Gull Pond Beach), Greenport

With gentle waves and a grassy approach, this tucked-away beach offers a relaxed atmosphere perfect for families or solo sunseekers. Bring a book, leave the schedule.

5. Kenney’s Beach, Southold

Just off a winding road near the heart of town, Kenney’s Beach is an easygoing place to swim, walk or simply sit and listen. There’s something comforting about its simplicity.

6. Goldsmith’s Inlet, Peconic

A rare find. The inlet connects to a broad stretch of Sound-side beach. Here, shallow currents meet quiet coves. It’s a lovely spot for nature walks or barefoot exploration.

7. Orient Beach State Park (the unmarked cove)

Venture beyond the designated beach and walk along the shoreline trail. Around a bend, you’ll find a hidden crescent of sand bordered by trees and still water. Few ever go that far.

8. Town Beach, Southold

A locals’ favorite. The long stretch of shoreline is ideal for morning strolls or an evening glass of wine. It’s low-key, unfussy and often blissfully empty.

9. Cedar Beach, Southold

Waves roll in gently over polished pebbles. There are tidal pools at low tide and some of the best sunset views in the region. Bring a blanket and stay through dusk.

10. Norman E. Klipp Marine Park, Greenport

Don’t let the name fool you. Beyond the marina, there’s a peaceful beach with soft sand and a view of Shelter Island. It’s a quiet place to unwind just a short drive from town.

Let the Beach Come to You

Many of these beaches are steps from our Luxury Beach Getaway vacation rentals. Others are a scenic drive through quiet roads and vineyard-lined hills. We’ll help you find the right one for the kind of day you have in mind. Need a beach setup or local picnic delivery? Just ask.

Here are three great examples:

Respite Ranch

This newly renovated ranch-style home features a large 9ft deep saltwater pool, hot tub, covered patio with gas grill. Tucked along the North Fork and located on a serene cul de sac, you’re a short drive away from Breakwater Beach.

Preparing for Spring and Summer Vacation Rentals

How to maximize your rental income during peak season

A well made bed in a light, airy room.

It’s finally that time of year again! Spring is in the air, and summer is just around the corner. That means it’s time to start preparing your rental property for peak season. We’ve rounded up a few tips for our homeowners detailing how you can ensure guests have a memorable stay and return again and again. 

Spring Cleaning

There is the age-old saying that the spring season is the perfect time for a little bit of spring cleaning. This is especially true when managing your vacation rental — and just in time for Spring Break. Take time to go through what items you no longer need and get rid of the clutter. Spring break is all about excitement and movement, so having extra items around will only get in the way of your guests. Need assistance? No worries! Our professional cleaning crew would be happy to ensure your home is in tip-top shape for the upcoming season. Ask us about our special deep cleaning for spring and kick off the high season on the right foot.

Maintenance 

One of the most important things you can do to prepare your property for the upcoming spring and summer seasons is to make sure it’s clean and well-maintained. Travelers want to feel like they’re on vacation from the moment they arrive, and that means staying in a clean and comfortable home. Think about who will be maintaining your property’s appearance when you’re away. Services like lawn care, hot tubs, and pool maintenance are critical. If you haven’t already, you’ll want to find reliable help to take care of these for the season. You’ll also want to make sure you thoroughly fix any broken fixtures or appliances. Check your dishwashers, laundry machines, and so on. And don’t forget to take a look at the walls. Is a paint touch-up needed? Guests don’t want to see wear and tear when they’re in search of peace and relaxation. As your property manager, we’ll take a look and offer recommendations to guarantee great reviews and guests who want to return time and time again.

Furniture and Supplies

Before the guests start flooding in again, it’s also important to update your furniture and supply stockpile. This will help give your beach house a fresh, new look that travelers will love. Are your outdoor cushions in good condition? Are towels crisp and clean? What about those linens? These are just some of the questions you’ll want to ask yourself. You don’t want to be caught without any of the essentials when guests arrive. So ditch those tired, old flat pillows, replace chipped or mismatched dishes, and stock up on supplies like toiletries, towels, bedding, and kitchenware.

As your trusted vacation rental manager, we’re here to help you navigate the upcoming busy spring and summer seasons. If you have any questions or need assistance preparing your home, we’re here to help.

GQ Asks: Is the North Fork the Cooler Cousin of the Hamptons?

Discover the North Fork’s Effortless Charm

A black and white logo for gq magazine on a white background.

GQ highlights why the North Fork is a must-visit destination, from its thriving wine scene to its laid-back coastal vibes.

“The Hamptons in the summer is like Midtown Manhattan on New Year’s Eve…But there’s another kind of summer weekend out there, and it’s not that far off. Actually, exactly as far as the Hamptons: just two-and-a-half hours’ drive from Manhattan, Long Island’s less-travelled North Fork (the Hamptons makes up the South Fork) has become the cooler peninsula. 

At various times dubbed the Hamptons’ “country cousin” and the “Brooklyn of Long Island,” it’s known by the easy-going locals as NoFo. Chill holidaymakers are drawn to the former farmland’s waterfront wineries, tucked-away beaches, boutiquey design stores and roadside farm stands. Even with a slew of upscale new openings, the North Fork has managed to maintain a vibe that’s unapologetically relaxed…”

The Importance of Superhost Status

The Power of Superhost Status

At Luxury Beach Getaway, we know that maintaining Airbnb Superhost status helps properties shine in a competitive market like the North Fork and the Hamptons.  It’s a distinction we proudly uphold, reinforcing the trust that homeowners and guests place in us.

While Superhost status benefits our entire portfolio, we go further to ensure individual properties shine. Through our expert management and attention to detail, we help properties achieve and maintain Airbnb’s Guest Favorite status—showing travelers that your home delivers an unforgettable, five-star stay.


“Our data shows that Superhosts earn 60% more revenue per available day, fueled by their ability to be booked nearly twice as often as their non-Superhost peers.”

– Scott Shatford, Founder & CEO of AirDNA


What Superhost Means for You

For homeowners, partnering with a Superhost portfolio means enjoying consistent, strong revenue and peace of mind. Superhost status is a symbol of reliability, quality, and professionalism—characteristics that guests actively seek when choosing where to stay. This trust not only brings in more bookings but also creates opportunities for repeat stays and glowing reviews.

Short-term rental analytics company AirDNA reports that hosts achieve Superhost status enjoy remarkable benefits, such as:

  • 53% higher annual rental income
  • 81% higher occupancy
  • 60% higher RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Rental)

At Luxury Beach Getaway, our boutique, hands-on approach ensures your property consistently meets—and exceeds—the high standards necessary for Superhost success. With our expertise in local markets, personalized service, and transparent partnership, we provide homeowners with the tools, insights, and support to thrive in today’s competitive vacation rental landscape.

The Data-Driven Advantage

Interestingly, while Superhosts often charge slightly lower nightly rates (on average, 11% less), their significantly higher occupancy rates more than make up for it. This balance is the key to long-term profitability and consistent growth.

Dynamic pricing strategies are essential to achieving and maintaining this balance. At Luxury Beach Getaway, we leverage advanced revenue management tools and market insights to price your property competitively while maximizing earnings.

The Bottom Line

Superhost status is more than a badge of honor—it’s a powerful driver of financial success, guest trust and long-term growth. By choosing Luxury Beach Getaway, you’re partnering with a team that understands how to turn this recognition into results for your property.
