For something like AirB&B or VRBO vacation rentals, that's generally treated as a business reported on SCH C, and *NOT* as a rental reported on SCH E. In other words, you treat this like the business it is, *exactly* the way a hotel operates.
As a short term rental you *are* providing recurring services, as indicated by the items you purchased which you mentioned in your post. So this is not a SCH E rental. It's a SCH C business and needs to be reported as such.
