We can generally expect that most guests will bring their own entertainment in the form of phones or iPads but it’s easy and not that expensive to provide them with a great entertainment option to improve their holiday rental experience. Not just electronic entertainment options but other ways your Search and Stay holiday rental guests can enjoy themselves, your property and the surrounding destination. But if we're talking about electronics never forget that not everyone is a digital native - so basic, clear instructions on how to use the Smart TV or entertainment system are a must.
1. Smart TV With Streaming Channels
One of the great joys of a vacation is relaxing on a holiday and watching a movie or your favourite show. Better still bingeing a couple of TV series - something many of us do not have time to do during our busy life schedule. If that’s combined with a comfy couch, beautifully designed space and a glass of wine then that contributes to the perfect holiday experience. Your Search and Stay holiday rental guests will love a smart TV with all the streaming options available in one place. All quite affordable including streaming channels is a great USP (unique selling position) for your Search and Stay holiday rental.
2. Fast WiFi
Many of your guests probably have unlimited data allowances on their mobile phones, and those phones are capable of hot spotting and sharing their data. But if you’re providing a smart TV with streaming capability you must provide a fast WiFi facility so they can enjoy what you’ve provided. Please don't provide a smart TV without the connectivity to engage the smarts. Be sure that the internet you choose is sufficient to manage your guests' streaming and will accommodate all the guests not just one or two. If fast Wifi is unavailable or reception poor due to your location make sure you make this perfectly clear to guests on your Search and Stay holiday rental listing or you risk a poor experience that your guests won’t enjoy. Remember, just because your property is in an area with little or no Wifi - this is not always a negative. To some who want to really switch off or are looking for a 'digital detox', your Search and Stay holiday rental will be exactly what they are looking for.
3. Bluetooth speaker
A bluetooth speaker for your guests to stream their music through is a nice touch. Music is one way to create ambience in your Search and Stay holiday rental. If it's an option you may even like to have some relaxing music playing for your guests when they arrive.
4. Games, Books, Magazines
One of the reasons guests choose to stay in your Search and Stay holiday rental is because they can escape the distraction that exists in their everyday lives. Who has time to read a book, play a board game, flick through a magazine or do a puzzle! Providing the wherewithal for your guests to change gears and to do think they rarely have time for, allows holiday experiences that transcend their everyday lives. Your Search and Stay holiday rental will offer the platform to create these memorable experiences.
5. Pool Toys, Boogy Boards, Bikes, SUPs, Canoes and Beach Towels.
Depending on your location, and the space you have available, activity amenities are very popular with guests and they absolutely love them. If you’re near the water or have a pool beach towels are a great touch for your guests because they are bulky to pack and having one towel for your vacation showering and swimming really is not awesome. Kids' toys, bikes and all manner of watercraft, if you’re near a lake or a river, also beach shades, surfboards, boogieboards, snorking gear if you're close to the beach, work in exactly the same way. Let's face it offering heaps of activities that cost nothing is a great way to keep people entertained while you showcase your destination. It is the difference between a great experience and a memorable one.
