Vacation Rentals Amenities

Amenities Which Could Make Renters Choose Your Property

There are a few vacation rentals amenities that are regularly searched when travelers are deciding on where to lodge for their next holiday. If they are going to be housing at a location any length of time, there are a few necessities, as well as a few “wants.” Below, in no particular order, are the top ten most hunted facilities. Having a majority of the list available at your vacation rentals home is sure to make it a vacationer’s dream!

  1. Vacation Rentals with Swimming Pool – This could very easily be the top requirement for travelers investigating available accommodations. Families with children will very seldom stay at a place without any swimming facilities. It’s a very relaxing activity for adults, and a great way for kids to release their abundance of energy.
  2. Cable TV – Can you believe there are places that actually do not offer a television set?!?! This is right up there with a swimming pool. What else are the guests to do in the rental home?
  3. Vacation Rentals with Hot Tub – A great companion to the swimming pool, unless your rental property located right on the beach. Indoor hot tubs make for a relaxing communication spot up in the cool mountains, or virtually anywhere in the winter.
  4. Pet Friendly Vacation Rentals– There are millions of pet owners in the United States alone. Many of these people favor taking their animals along for the ride when travelling versus boarding them or using a pet sitting service.
  5. High Speed Internet Access – Many travelers seek accommodations featuring a good Internet connection for several different reasons. For business travelers, it’s the best way to stay connected to their work place and employees/coworkers. For other vacationers, the Internet is nice to upload vacation photos, find local events, and print coupons for area attractions.
  6. Vacation Rentals with a Fireplace – Often sought out by couples looking to book a romantic haven for their getaway, fireplaces make for some good cuddling in the cooler parts of the world.
  7. Vacation Rentals with Air Conditioning – Who can live without a good A/C nowadays? If your rental home is located on the beach or other warm climate, you must be sure to keep its cooling system in tip top shape for guests.
  8. Telephone – This is definitely a necessity. While most travelers carry along a cellular phone, not all people own one. Even if they do, they need a guaranteed way to call room service or to dial 911 if there is a problem.
  9. Pool Table – This has got to be one of the more strange amenities being searched for, but it also ranks up there as one of the most popular. These are desired in cooler mountain cabins rentals where people seldom leave to partake in the local activities and simply wish to hang out at the home.
  10. Balcony – Balconies are often preferred due to their wonderful views, especially if your property is on the beach or in the mountains.

  2. The NY Times sees a new trend in vacation rentals and they interviewed us about it–our #1 request is for allergen free/eco-friendly properties (kinda the same thing, its all about healthy homes). Mom’s want to protect their children from pesticides and toxic housecleaning. Healthy folks like the allergen-free air, bedding and furnishings. We call it “eco luxury lodging.”
