What people REALLY want in a vacation rental



This week, we’ve discussed how to pick the ideal location for those real estate investors interested in buying a vacation home, and what costs to consider. Today, we’ll examine what qualities tenants are looking for in a great vacation rental.

Privacy
Many people will choose a rental home over a hotel because they don’t want to be away from the crowds. Vacation homes without noisy elevators or private pool can be quite attractive to renters looking for some peace and quiet.

Space
Offer as many sleeping areas as possible without making the home too crowded. Pullout couches, trundles, bunk beds are great ways to increase the likelihood of renters because you can appeal to bigger-sized groups. Some people also prefer a rental property with a fully functioning kitchen so they can cook their own meals, or an outdoor space where they can barbeque and let their children play.

Renters like extra beds in vacation properties


Amenities
Vacationers want to hit the “easy” button when they arrive to a retreat for several days. So, having on-site laundry, free wi-fi, functioning kitchen appliances, and good parking are all big plusses. Also, being near a bus route, bike trail, or having a community gym can be very attractive property features. The more qualities you can offer, the more likely your rental will have high occupancy rates all year long.
