Investing in an Airbnb property is more than just offering accommodation—it’s about creating a memorable and inviting experience that appeals to families seeking relaxation and quality time together. The property owners of a picturesque estate in Bridgeville, Delaware faced a significant challenge: how to transform their expansive, underutilized backyard into a family-friendly wellness retreat that would elevate nightly rates and establish their property as a premier destination getaway for families.

The Story Behind the Transformation

The retreat boasts a sparkling swimming pool at its center, offering a refreshing dip on hot summer days. The pool’s edge was transformed into a stylish swim up bar for social afternoons. Adjacent to the pool, a heated yoga deck provides a serene space for yoga sessions or social activities year-round. For ultimate relaxation, an outdoor sauna and cold plunge offers a rejuvenating experience. Throughout the garden, stylish reading corners create tranquil spots for guests to unwind or connect with friends. A soothing water feature adds the calming sound of flowing water, enhancing the serene atmosphere for everyone. Evenings come alive with a firepit and fireplace sitting area, perfect for gatherings, storytelling, and roasting marshmallows under the stars. Ample comfortable lounging areas ensure that every guest has a place to relax and unwind, whether by the pool, in the reading corners, or around the firepit.

The transformation was a tremendous success! The backyard now serves as a luxurious family-friendly wellness retreat that not only boosts the property’s nightly rate but also positions it as a top-tier getaway destination for families in Delaware. The serene and thoughtfully designed space attracts guests seeking both relaxation and quality family time, making the property highly desirable. However, this success has led to increased demand, resulting in sparse availability on Airbnb.
