Stop Guessing Which Amenities Actually Drive Revenue

As a vacation rental operator, you've probably asked yourself: "Should I add a hot tub? Is the fire pit worth it? Do guests really care about the pool table?"

Most property managers invest in amenities based on gut feeling, competitor watching, or guest requests. But here's the problem — you have no idea which amenities actually translate to higher revenue, better reviews, or more bookings.

Until now.

The Problem with Traditional Amenity Planning

Most STR operators make amenity decisions in one of three ways:

  1. Gut feeling — "I think guests would love a sauna"
  2. Competitor copying — "The property down the street has one"
  3. Guest requests — "Three people asked about it this month"

None of these methods tell you:

  • What's the actual ROI on that amenity?
  • How much more can you charge per night with it?
  • Does it reduce vacancy or increase booking length?
  • Will it drive better reviews and repeat bookings?
