My mother owns a vacation rental property and the organizations she’s a part of provide data on what people look for in a vacation property. I found some of the top 10 amenities to be a little surprising, while some are obvious.
Can you guess what the top 10 are? I’m curious how obvious these are for dopers.
I’ll provide the answers later in the thread.
…okay, I’m out of ideas.
Pool
Hot tub
Internet
TV
Porch
I’ll play:
View
Private bath w hot water
Nice tropical beach
Hammock
Mosquito net
um,…
um,…
yeah, that’s all I got, apparently my needs are few.
Air conditioning.
Microwave? I don’t know what else.
Fridge/Freezer
Microwave
Kitchen
Cable
Some very good guesses already. Let’s see:
*TV really surprised me. I guess I would have just assumed there would be TV.
**Porch surprised me, too. It sounds so homey.
Safe (to lock things in)
restaurants (nearby)
Pet friendly
ETA, might as well add Safe neighborhood as well.
Laundry
Waterfront
Dvd/satellite tv
Bathtub (some places have shower only)
Mini bar
Bed
Paintings of ducks
on-site restaurant
room service
bar/night club
in-room coffe maker
in-room ironing board & iron
newspaper service
fax machine
computer
balcony
TV is on there but not refrigerator? That’s strange to me. I assume a TV will be present but a kitchen/fridge are sometimes absent and that’s a PITA.
King-sized bed?
playground
tennis
golf nearby/free round
wet bar
grill
Nonsmoking
Handicap accessable
Or for that matter, smoking.
Hmmm. Coffee maker, water view, DVD player, games system (Wii, Playstation, or Xbox) …
Shampoo
Little soaps
Mints
