Tip 1: Details Make the Difference

It’s the little things that count, and preparing your guest bedroom is no different. We love the tea tray above in the Gasparilla II model by Homes by WestBay. Another easy and thoughtful way to make your guests feel welcome is by creating a personalized welcome basket. Start with the essentials: water bottles, the Wi-Fi password, and other little touches that will make their stay more comfortable. Consider welcoming your guests to Wellen Park with small treats from Downtown Wellen, such as fresh grounds from Foxtail Coffee or sunscreen (a year-round necessity!) from Florida Lakes Spa.

These thoughtful details will not only give your guests a warm welcome but also introduce them to the best of Wellen Park living.

Tip 2: Make it Cozy

When preparing a guest room in your home in Wellen Park, FL, you want friends and family to feel like they’ve stepped into a cozy retreat that’s just as comfortable as their own home. Using plush bedding, soft linens, and plenty of pillows adds that extra touch of warmth. Cozy neutrals are always relaxing, like this bedroom from the Marsala model by Lennar, or you can opt for a few tropical touches like in the Acadia model by Sam Rodgers shown below.

Pro tip: Add a bench at the end of the bed where guests can set their suitcases while they unpack.

Tip 3: A Room with a View

A room with a view instantly makes your guests feel special! Whether it’s a glimpse of your sparkling pool, a beautiful backyard garden, a view of a golf course, or even a big window with natural light, having a lovely vista can elevate their entire stay. 

If the view is a little more understated, consider adding a cozy seating area by the window so guests can still enjoy the space. Whatever your space offers, make it work to ensure your guests feel like they’ve got the best seat in your Wellen Park home!

Tip 4: Don’t Forget the Bathroom

Don’t forget the bathroom! Stock it with all the essentials your guests might need, from fluffy towels to a fresh bar of soap from Naples Soap. Be sure to add extra toiletries, like toothpaste and a toothbrush, in case your guests forget to pack something. A vase of fresh flowers or therapeutic plants like eucalyptus are another way to add a luxurious feel for your guests.

Tip 5: Accommodate Children and Pets

Chances are, your guests will be bringing along their children (the two-legged and four-legged varieties). This guest room in Sea Spray 2 by Neal Communities showcases the perfect setup for the little ones, with a space that’s both functional and cozy. Spoil kids or grandkids by adding a few fun touches, like a small table for games, books, or even a few stuffed animals to make them feel extra at home.

If your visitors are bringing along their fur bestie, set up a little corner in the guest room just for them. A comfy bed or blanket, a bowl for water, and a few toys can go a long way in making both your guest and their pet feel comfortable. 

Whether you’re preparing for family, friends, or four-legged pals, these simple tips will help you create a guest room that’s as inviting as your home in Wellen Park.
