Most Requested Vacation Rental Amenities

When it comes to vacation rental amenities, certain features consistently rank as top-requested among travelers seeking the perfect getaway. These highly sought-after amenities not only enhance the overall guest experience but also contribute significantly to maximizing ROI for property owners.

We've hosted thousands of guests and compiled a list of the most requested features you can add right now to get more bookings! These (mostly) simple and inexpensive updates will make your home stand out and consistently earn higher revenue year over year. So, let's get started!

It's important to offer a basic desk and chair somewhere in the vacation rental. High speed internet is also a must in today's vacation rental landscape. Also, with more devices comes more chargers. We always get great reviews when we surprise guests with bedside power and phone charging stations. They LOVE THAT!

A Hot Tub is one of the top used filters by our Fort Collins vacation rental guests. If you don't have one, you won't show up when people search for rentals with a hot tub. Rental properties with hot tubs consistently out-earn the average vacation rental listing and generally see smaller swings in seasonal booking trends. Keep your property booked all year long with an investment that you can also enjoy! Adding a hot tub to your vacation rental is one of the biggest ROI boosters you can invest in. 

Guests are often seeking the privacy of vacation homes to celebrate events or milestones and spend time together as a family. Vacation rentals offer a unique opportunity for travelers to cook wonderful meals without having to go out to busy and expensive restaurants. We love suggesting local farmers markets and grocers to get the supplies, but almost always the first question we get is... "Do you have a grill?"  

Nothing fancy is required and you can typically pick one up (or have us install one for you) from any hardware store for under $300, but adding a BBQ grill to your vacation rental is an instant crowd-pleaser.

Not only do string lights and cozy fire puits look amazing in dusk photography, guests rave about them in reviews! If your neighborhood has fire restrictions, a basic set of LED warm white string lights are easy to install and create the perfect ambiance for your guests. Nothing beats a cool summer evening around the fire! Guests love when our vacation rentals have these simple and inexpensive amenities.

There is no better way for your guests to explore the local Fort Collins trails and downtown than by cruiser bike. Bikes also look great when staged professionally in listing photos and are sure to draw attention to your vacation rental. This amenity is an easy addition and can be relatively inexpensive. We suggest offering at least 2 bikes per home along with a basic combo cable lock, tire pump, and helmets.

Travelers will notice and reward you with 5-Star Reviews when a vacation rental is properly staged with sought-after amenities. If you have questions, give us a call so we can help find the perfect amenity mix for your Northern Colorado property!
