How Many People Does Your Home Sleep?
This may seem like common sense to most people, but you should have dining seating and deck seating for the number of guests that your home or condo sleeps. For instance, if you have a two bedroom condo and it sleeps six guests, then you should have dining seating (including the breakfast bar) for a total of six guests. If you have a large home that sleeps 16, then you need dining seating for 16 guests.
Dining Room Seating
You would not believe the number of large homes or condos at the Lake of the Ozarks that I have seen in the past 13 years that were just a little short on their dining and deck seating. Picture yourself arriving to a three bedroom home with your eight guests and you walk into a home that had no dining table and only 3-4 bar stools at the breakfast bar. In this true life situation, I had to persuade the owner of the home that he really needed a table, in addition to his breakfast bar. His family only had four people so it never really crossed his mind that he needed extra seating for his rental guests.
Living Area Seating
This same thought process should also extend to the living area. You should be able to seat most of your guests in the living area. If you sleep eight then you need to think about seating at least five to six guests in the living area. If your living area doesn’t look inviting and is not able to accommodate the number of guests that could potentially stay in your home or condo, then your potential guest may look for a property that has more seating so that they will be more comfortable.
Deck Seating
The same goes for the deck. Guests love to relax outside by the water or on a deck overlooking the water. You should have plenty of deck seating, a table and a few lounge chairs that together will seat at least the number of guests that your home or condo will sleep.
Guests like to dine and relax together and you need to ensure that this item has not been overlooked. Having the proper seating arrangements can give you an edge over your competition.
