What is the most durable flooring for a vacation rental?

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is the most durable and practical flooring choice for vacation rentals. It's 100% waterproof, scratch-resistant, easy to clean, and handles the high foot traffic and moisture exposure that rental properties experience. Modern LVP looks nearly identical to real hardwood in listing photos.

Is hardwood flooring a good choice for a Lake Travis vacation rental?

Solid hardwood is generally not recommended for vacation rentals near Lake Travis. The combination of high humidity, wet feet from the lake, and the inability to control conditions when the property is vacant makes solid hardwood a high-maintenance choice. Engineered hardwood is a better option if you want the look of real wood.

How much does it cost to re-floor a vacation rental on Lake Travis?

For a typical 2,000 to 3,000 square foot Lake Travis vacation rental, LVP installation runs $8,000 to $15,000 depending on the product selected and subfloor condition. Engineered hardwood in the same space runs $12,000 to $22,000. Both upgrades typically recover their cost in higher nightly rates and better reviews.

What flooring photographs best for Airbnb and VRBO listings?

Wide-plank LVP in warm wood tones — oak, walnut, or hickory patterns — photographs beautifully and reads as real hardwood in listing photos. Large-format tile in the kitchen and bathrooms adds a high-end feel. Avoid carpet in main living areas — it photographs poorly and guests consistently rate it lower in reviews.
