What amenities do guests like the most?

My wife and I provide a well stocked kitchen with K-Cup coffee and tea, as well as sugar and cream. There are a few magazines in the living room (Nat Geo and Cat life) and everything else is pretty standard. We have a nice patio with patio furniture with a gas powered firepit/table. 

 

I'm what amenities are the most appreciated and if there are things guests really don't care about? 

 

For example, someone was asking if we have an outdoor hot-tub. We considered getting one, but it hardly seems worth the trouble considering the cost and the maintenance, but I could be wrong...

@Alex12990  Great question as everyone's mileage will vary depending upon who  your avatar guest is. 

 

We don't have any amenities such as hot tub, pool, grills, bicycles,  I am risk averse.   We do offer a free beach pass to state park beach that is very close by and that is well received. It's our location that brings in the guests as it's a great seaside town on the gulf coast of Florida.  

 

We get a lot of compliments on our mattresses, they are just memory foam that I get on Wayfair or Zinus. I get the med-firm. We do get  a lot of compliments on our linens which is kind of funny to me as I buy them in bulk on Amazon 😂

 

Guests always mention how clean the space is.  We do supply cleaning supplies for their use as well as vacuum, mop and broom as we accept dogs. 

 

Most appreciate our digital guest guide and rapid response to any questions. 

 

King beds and large 65" Smart TVs are a fave.  

 

We don't supply coffee and tea however do supply a nice coffee maker with filters.  If I lived close by I would consider more offerings of goodies and different coffees and teas but don't want to task my cleaners with refurbishing those items.  I let them concentrate on the really clean aspect of the accommodation.

 

My avatar guest is middle aged, in town to visit family, looking for real estate, snow birding or short getaway.  Once you nail down who your avatar guest is, it will become clear as to what things are important to them.

I feel like it’s the fast wifi here.

 

i sometimes get people that come here just to use our wifi; usually to take a test.
