Vacation rental arrival guide email template

Guests ask the same questions the day before they arrive, so this email answers them first: how to get in, the wifi, where to park. The local tips and the offer to message you make the stay feel hosted, not just booked.

Example subject line

Door code, wifi, parking, and the three places we'd send a friend.

What's in this template

  1. Headline: everything you need for the arrival day
  2. Photo of the cottage with rounded corners
  3. Key card: check-in, door, wifi, parking and heat
  4. Short welcome note with a directions button
  5. 3 local tips, each a square photo beside a name and a line
  6. Small things worth knowing: trash, tide and dogs
  7. Dark closing band with a message-your-host button

When to use it

Send it a day or two before check-in, once the booking is confirmed and the door code is set. It suits a bed and breakfast, a guesthouse or a rental you manage for an owner, anywhere guests arrive without meeting you.

Make it yours

  • Put in a photo of your own place and fill the key card with your real door code, wifi name and parking details.
  • Replace the three local tips with places you actually send guests.
  • Edit the house notes to match your own trash day, quirks and rules.
