Amenities can make or break your Airbnb’s success—especially in Arizona, where guests expect comfort, functionality, and a memorable experience. From sun-soaked patios to blackout curtains and pet-friendly perks, your listing needs to stand out with smart, guest-focused features.


If you’re wondering what truly drives bookings, this guide to the best Arizona Airbnb amenities in 2025 has you covered.


Why Amenities Matter More Than Ever


With the rise in STR competition across cities like Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, and Sedona, it’s no longer enough to just offer the basics. Guests are comparing listings by features—and reviews often reflect whether those expectations are met.


Amenities influence:

  • Search visibility on Airbnb and Vrbo

  • Booking conversion rates

  • Nightly rate potential

  • Guest satisfaction and reviews


TruStay works with hosts across Arizona to dial in the right mix of amenities based on target guests, property type, and local trends.


Must-Have Amenities for Arizona Airbnb Guests


1. Central A/C and Ceiling Fans

Arizona heat is no joke. Whether you’re in the Valley or Southern AZ, reliable cooling is non-negotiable. Guests expect central A/C, ceiling fans, and clear instructions on how to use the system.


2. Blackout Curtains or Shades

Many travelers come from different time zones or are recovering from long travel days. Light-blocking window treatments—especially in bedrooms—make for better sleep and higher review scores.


3. Outdoor Space for Relaxation

Arizona’s climate makes patios and backyards a top feature. Even a small outdoor seating area with string lights or a fire pit can boost perceived value.


4. Pool or Hot Tub (Where Feasible)

In markets like Scottsdale or Mesa, a pool is a premium amenity—especially in homes that cater to groups. In Sedona or Flagstaff, a hot tub can elevate the stay.

If you don’t have space or budget for either, consider stock tank tubs or outdoor misters for the patio as low-cost cooling features.


5. High-Speed Wi-Fi and Workspace Setup

Whether it’s remote workers or kids on tablets, fast internet is a must. Add a desk or even a small laptop nook to show your property is work-from-anywhere–ready.


6. Smart TVs and Streaming Access

More guests expect to use Netflix, Hulu, or YouTube while traveling. A smart TV with guest-mode or built-in apps makes your listing more attractive.


7. Pet-Friendly Features

Arizona has a lot of road-trippers—and many travel with pets. Consider:

  • Fenced yard or dog run

  • Water and food bowls

  • Nearby pet-friendly trails or dog parks listed in your guidebook

Just be clear in your listing about rules and deposits.


8. Local Touches and Welcome Kits

Add a sense of place with Arizona-based snacks, a custom guidebook, or trail maps. These small gestures lead to memorable stays—and glowing reviews.


Extras That Guests Rave About


Want to go above and beyond? These features often push guests to book:

  • In-unit washer and dryer

  • Keurig or drip coffee station

  • Luggage racks and extra towels

  • Pool towels and sunblock

  • Yoga mats or foam rollers (popular in wellness-driven markets like Sedona)


TruStay helps hosts choose amenities that make sense based on budget and guest demand—not just a checklist.


What Not to Forget


Even the best amenities fall flat without the essentials. Don’t overlook:

  • Clean, high-quality bedding

  • Well-stocked kitchen basics

  • Easy-to-follow check-in and Wi-Fi instructions

  • Extra paper goods and toiletries
