Vacation Homes Are Easy Targets. How to Secure Your Airbnb or Second Property Without Drilling, Damage, or Worry

You’re Not There — But They Could Be You lock the doors. You pull the shades. You drive back to the city, or hop on a plane. Meanwhile, your vacation home — your Airbnb — sits empty. Waiting. Vulnerable. Every year, thousands of unattended homes are broken into. And the most common entry point? The windows. They’re quiet. They’re often unlocked. And they’re easy to access when no one’s watching. But here’s the good news: you don’t need an expensive security system or ugly metal bars to protect your property. In this blog, we’ll show you how to secure your Airbnb or vacation home with no drilling, no damage, no monthly fees — just smart, strong, beautiful peace of mind.

1. The Vacation Home Security Problem No One Talks About

You’ve probably already thought about:

  • Door locks
  • Smart cameras
  • Motion sensors
  • Alarm systems

But here’s the truth: none of those stop a break-in through a weak or unsecured window.

Cameras record.
Alarms alert.
But if someone breaks a window, they’re already inside — and your response time doesn’t matter anymore.

For remote properties, Airbnbs, or seasonal homes, this is even more dangerous. Why?

  • No one’s there to hear an alarm
  • Guests may forget to lock windows
  • Break-ins may go undetected for days or weeks
  • You can’t install permanent systems in rentals or HOA-regulated areas

It’s a gap in security — and it’s costing thousands in losses every year.

2. Common Solutions and Why They Fail

Let’s break down the most common window security options for remote or rented properties:

🧰 Traditional Iron Bars

  • ✅ Strong
  • ❌ Expensive
  • ❌ Requires drilling
  • ❌ Not allowed in most Airbnbs
  • ❌ Ruins the guest experience and aesthetics

🎥 Cameras and Smart Sensors

  • ✅ Alerts you
  • ❌ Doesn’t stop entry
  • ❌ Relies on internet access and power
  • ❌ Can be bypassed by experienced burglars

🪟 Window Films or Plastic Locks

  • ✅ Cheap
  • ❌ Not strong
  • ❌ Doesn’t prevent forced entry
  • ❌ Can be removed or broken easily

So what’s the solution?
