Time to pack for vacation? Remember why you chose a vacation home rental! To escape insanity, isolate safely, AND to have all the comforts of home ready for you when you arrive.
Planning a vacation not only involves choosing where to go and deciding on things to do, but also assessing the amenities that are being offered to you as a guest in vacation home.
Over the past few years, many people have been skipping the hotel stays in order to have all of the comforts of home in their rental – plus it’s private. Guest notice amenities. Period. Surveys show that rental guests do not want to eat out every meal (hence needing a great kitchen) they want to be able to be spontaneous in what they do on vacation.
Airbnb recently asked guests in a survey what the top amenities they were looking for. No big surprise here. Functionality came first – meaning a coffee maker or full set of wine glasses. Next was comfort (air conditioning/heat and Wi-Fi). That was followed by pools and parking.
When women start planning they consider any number of scenarios. Is there a hair dryer? Is there an ironing board? Do they have garbage bags and laundry detergent? Are we close to shopping?
What is the fastest way to get a meal prepared when we arrive without having to stop at McDonalds? If we want to go out, where are we going? Will I need water when I arrive?
