1. Wireless Internet
The first thing should be obvious in today's environment, you must have Wi-Fi. If your home or condo at the Lake of the Ozarks doesn't have it, you will miss out on a large number of potential renters. Everyone wants to feel connected; they want to check their email, scroll through Facebook and not have to use all their data up while on vacation.
2. Flat Screen TVs
You should also have a large (40 inches or more) flat screen TV in the living room, family room or entertainment room. Other TV's throughout the home or condo should also all be flat screens and the appropriate size for the room. If you have any box TVs, you should get rid of them. They make your property look dated in your pictures and potential renters will move on to the properties that have flat screen TVs.
3. Blu-ray & DVD Players
Along those same lines, be sure to get rid of your old VHS player. The only reason you might keep a VHS player in your rental home is if you have a large library of VHS tapes available for your guests. Otherwise, all it does is date your property. You might as well install an 8 track or cassette player to go with it! If you have a VHS/DVD combo, that is acceptable. However, your main TV should have a Blu-ray DVD player, which plays regular and Blu-ray discs. Having only a regular DVD player limits what your guests can watch.
4. USB Ports
Another item you should have is USB ports around the condo or home at the Lake of the Ozarks. The kitchen is a good spot or some owners have them attached to the lamps in the bedrooms, which is another great idea. This is a great convenience for your guests, as most charger cords attach to USB ports.
5. Kitchen Equipment
In the kitchen, you should have at least a four-hole toaster and a coffee maker that makes enough cups of coffee compared to the number of guests your property sleeps. Also make sure you have items such as a pizza pan, a blender, a mixer, etc. so that your guests can cook a variety of things during their stay. The advantage of having a well-equipped kitchen is so that your guests can save money by not eating out for every meal.
6. King Beds
In the master bedroom, you should always have a king bed. If guests have one at home, they want one on vacation, and if they don't well, they want one on vacation. You would not believe how many of our guests demand a king bed.
7. Keyless Entry
Finally, if you don't have keyless entry, you are behind the times. Get with the program and updated your property to prepare for the 21st century! Happy Renting!
