Airbnb Supplies List: 50+ Must-Haves for STRs

A lot of Airbnb hosts get so caught up in flashy amenities that they forget about the essential Airbnb supplies that all guests expect. 

Let’s go back to basics.

In this guide, we cover:

• What supplies you actually need for an Airbnb
• A detailed room-by-room Airbnb supplies checklist
• How and where to buy Airbnb supplies (without overspending)

What supplies do you need for an Airbnb?

Short-term rental guests expect the functionality of a hotel – essential toiletries, clean sheets, a comfortable bed – but the charm and comfort of a home. That means you’ll need more than a few basic supplies to secure five-star reviews. 

At a minimum, your Airbnb host supplies should cover:

• Cleaning supplies 
• Toiletries
• A well-stocked kitchen with cookware and utensils
• Bedding and towels
• Much-appreciated extras, like device chargers, coffee, and outdoor seating

Airbnb cleaning supplies

Cleanliness is non-negotiable. Stocking your Airbnb with plenty of cleaning supplies ensures your cleaning team (or you) can get the space sparkling after every stay. Plus, guests need cleaning supplies, too, to handle messes, spills, and accidents that occur during their stay.

Public Goods Dishwasher Detergent Pods are easy to use and get dishes cleaner than other detergents.

BISSELL CleanView Compact Upright Vacuum is a powerful vacuum that holds up even in pet-friendly Airbnbs.

Airbnb toiletries supplies

Most hotels stock shampoo, conditioner, and soap, so guests expect them at your Airbnb, too. But stocking a bit more than these basic toiletries is a great way to go above and beyond for your guests.

Stock up on good-quality Airbnb toiletries to avoid frantic drugstore runs and make your space feel like home.

We recommend providing:

• Shampoo and conditioner
• Hand soap
• Body wash
• Toilet paper
• Lotion 
• Tissues
• Toothpaste (travel size works fine)
• Cotton swabs and cotton pads
• Facial cleanser
• Makeup remover wipes
• Air freshener or room spray
• Sunscreen
• Insect repellent (especially for outdoorsy properties)
• Disposable razors and shaving cream
• Feminine hygiene products

Public Goods Hand Soap is a reliable staple that cleanses without drying out the skin.

Sachajuan's Shiny Citrus Shampoo is a luxury shampoo with a fresh scent and salon-quality formulation that your guests will absolutely love.

Tip: Tailor your supplies to your guests

Every guest walks through your door with different needs. A family, a business traveler, and a pet parent won’t use your space the same way – which is why the little extras tailored to them can set your rental apart.

Consider your ideal or most frequent type of guest. Who are they and what would make their stay more comfortable and convenient?

Pet-friendly Airbnb supplies

Travelers with pets remember the hosts who went the extra mile to accommodate their four-legged friend. Stocking a few supplies just for pet parents turns your listing from ‘pet-friendly’ into ‘pets encouraged!’

Stock extras like:

• Food and water bowls
• Hooks for leashes near the door
• Pet shampoo 
• Pet accident cleaning supplies
• Poop scoop or poop bags
• Washable pet bed or blanket

Family-friendly Airbnb supplies

Parents notice the small things that make traveling with kids easier. Stocking a few family-friendly essentials can turn your space into a stress-free stay.

• Pack and play or crib
• Baby gate
• A stash of toys, puzzles, and family-friendly movies
• High chair
• Plastic dishes and cutlery

Supplies for business travelers

Corporate guests want comfort, but also book with productivity in mind. Adding a few work-ready touches can tip the scales in your favor among this crowd.

We recommend supplying:

• A desk and an ergonomic chair
• Reliable, high-speed WiFi
• Accessible charging hubs and extra outlets
• Plenty of coffee and more than one type of coffee maker

Where to buy Airbnb supplies

Don’t pay retail prices for your Airbnb supplies. Shop through Minoan instead.

Minoan is the #1 place to shop for short-term rental furnishings and replenishables – and there’s no cost to join.

Minoan gives hosts, property managers, and designers access to insider prices (up to 60% off) on over 150 premium brands. Think of it as your all-in-one supply closet without any markups.

Some of our favorite brands for short-term rental supplies:

• Toiletries: Public Goods, Firsthand Supply
• Furniture: Crate & Barrel, Lulu & Georgia
• Kitchen: Staub, Caraway
• Decor: Balta Rugs, Society6, Lumens

Wholesale Airbnb supplies

If you operate multiple units, buying Airbnb supplies wholesale can help streamline inventory and costs. Brands like Firsthand Supply and Public Goods offer bulk ordering at wholesale prices that make sense for high turnover properties.

Airbnb supplies in bulk

Buying in bulk is a smart move for Airbnb consumables (think toilet paper, paper towels, coffee, soap). It saves time and money – but don’t overdo it. Stockpiling 50 bottles of body wash can lead to clutter and waste. Focus bulk orders on high-use items that move quickly between stays.
