With tourism on the rise again and hotels booked to the brim this past summer; it’s no wonder the vacation rental business is booming in the Okanagan. In fact, the vacation rental phenomenon is growing leaps and bounds right across the province with no signs of letting up.

And what do homeowners need to do to prepare their homes for guests?

“Well…it’s actually quite simple;” explains Lynne Arbuthnot, founder of soon-to-be-launched vrsupplies.ca.

“The problem people run into is not what to buy; the true stumbling block is: how to buy. “

It doesn’t take long before learning to appreciate why hotels use white sheets and towels. First of all, travellers expect a clean fresh look. Secondly, they’re easy to manage and maintain.

And what about those cute little bath amenities?

It’s simply not practical to expect the average homeowner to go out and buy hotel sheets by the dozen or a case of 400 mini-shampoos from hospitality wholesalers.

Running around town attempting to source these items can not only be costly, but also extremely time consuming, and more often than not: fruitless.

Then there’s consistency. What if a queen top sheet is ruined? Who’s going to sell one top sheet that matches what you already have?

Enter vrsupplies.ca; a super easy online store, purposely built to support the vacation rental property owner, one room at a time.
