Every spring, Augusta, Georgia transforms into a global destination as golf fans from around the world descend on the city for the iconic Masters Tournament. With hotels booking up months in advance, many visitors turn to local homeowners for accommodations. If you’re thinking about renting your home for Masters Week, understanding what guests are looking for is key to maximizing your home's appeal—and your rental income.

While personal style and décor play a role, most guests prioritize three major factors: location, amenities, and size. Here’s what you need to know before listing your property.

1. Location Is Everything

When it comes to Masters rentals, proximity to Augusta National Golf Club is one of the most important factors. Homes within a few miles of the course—especially those located in desirable neighborhoods like Summerville, West Augusta, or near Washington Road—tend to book faster and command higher rental prices.

Golf fans and corporate groups alike want to spend more time enjoying the tournament and less time stuck in traffic. The closer your home is to the course, the more attractive it becomes. Bonus points if your neighborhood offers quick access to major roads, local dining, or shopping centers.

2. Amenities That Make a Difference

While location draws guests in, it’s your amenities that seal the deal. Guests are looking for comfort, convenience, and a touch of luxury. Here are some of the most requested features during Masters Week:

  • High-speed Wi-Fi – Essential for both business travelers and fans wanting to stream highlights or stay connected.
  • Outdoor living spaces – Patios, decks, fire pits, or grilling areas are highly desirable, especially for guests who want to relax after a day at the tournament.
  • Modern appliances – Updated kitchens and clean, functional bathrooms can set your home apart.
  • Entertainment options – Large TVs, surround sound systems, and streaming capabilities enhance the viewing experience for those who want to watch tournament coverage from home.
  • Parking space – With local traffic and limited public parking, having a driveway or garage space available is a major plus.
  • Hotel-like touches – Crisp linens, toiletries, and a well-stocked kitchen or bar area can elevate the guest experience and encourage positive reviews.

If you're willing to go the extra mile with concierge touches—like local restaurant guides or Masters-themed welcome baskets—you’ll leave a lasting impression on guests and possibly secure repeat bookings in future years.

3. Size That Suits the Group

Think beyond the number of bedrooms. Many Masters guests travel in small corporate groups, golf buddies, or extended families. These visitors are looking for a layout that accommodates multiple people comfortably.

  • 3–4+ bedrooms are ideal, especially if they offer a mix of king, queen, and twin beds.
  • Multiple bathrooms are a must for group rentals. If your home offers the desirable 1:1 Bed & Bath ratio, you’re ahead of the game!
  • Open common areas like a spacious living room or dining area allow guests to gather, eat, and relax together.
  • Bonus rooms such as home offices, game rooms, or converted garages can add extra value and flexibility for groups with varying needs.

If your home has unique features—such as a private guest suite, bonus den, or extra sleeping space with a pullout sofa—be sure to highlight these in your listing.
