Introduction: Orlando is the vacation rental capital of the world. If you own an Airbnb near Disney or Universal, your kitchen needs to survive high turnover, messy guests, and constant cleaning. The biggest debate for investors? Quartz vs. Granite.

1. Granite: The Natural Contender

 Granite has been the standard for "luxury" for decades.

• Pros: It is heat resistant. If a guest puts a hot pan directly on the stone, granite can take it.

• Cons: Granite is porous. If a guest spills red wine or leaves a cut lemon on the counter overnight, it can stain if the sealer has worn off.

• Maintenance: You must reseal it every 6-12 months—something most Airbnb hosts forget to do.

2. Quartz: The Investor's Best Friend 

For short-term rentals, we almost always recommend Quartz.

• Non-Porous: Quartz is engineered with resin, meaning it has zero pores. Wine, oil, and juices wipe right off. It is arguably the most hygienic option for guests.

• No Sealing Required: You never have to pay for maintenance sealing.

• Modern Aesthetic: Quartz offers the clean, white marble look (like our Calacatta series) that photographs beautifully for Airbnb listings but is far more durable than real marble.

3. The Verdict for ROI

• Choose Granite if: You are putting it in an outdoor summer kitchen (Quartz can fade in direct UV sunlight).

• Choose Quartz if: You want a "set it and forget it" interior kitchen that looks brand new for every guest.
