Giving your guests places to plug in their devices so they don’t unplug (or move around) items in your home is a necessity. Nowhere is this more important than in the bedrooms, since everyone is looking for places to charge their phones and other devices overnight.

For this, we recommend The Original Brandstand CubieTime Alarm Clock & Charger. This fantastic device does everything you want it to at a short-term rental including:

• It doesn’t block the outlet you plug it into, giving you the ability to still use that same outlet for other items
• The weight of the clock ensures it stays put on your nightstand and doesn’t move around and fall off
• The alarm clock will only go off once the morning after it is set, so you don’t risk alarms from past guests waking up future guests
• It provides multiple outlets & USB ports for charging different devices
• The screen brightness can easily be increased or decreased

The list of positive aspects of this device goes on and on. If you are a short-term rental host, we highly recommend getting at least one of these for each of your bedrooms (sometimes one on each side). It is one of the best devices and best improvements you can put in your vacation rental or Airbnb.
