Vacation Rental Poll Reveals Top 3 Things Vacation Renters Want

In a recent poll conducted by DestinationVillas.com, vacation travelers voted three criteria as most important when selecting a vacation rental home.

When asked to prioritize the parameters by which travelers select a vacation rental home, guests unanimously found view to be the single most important consideration, personal tastes and style aside. View outranked amenities, maid service or age of the property.

Proximity to attractions came in second in terms of important features that vacation rental guests look for. Guests sited the preference of not wanting to drive to the beach, ski slopes or theme parks as an important consideration when choosing one vacation villa over another.

The third most important feature vacationers look for in a vacation home or vacation condo is luxury amenities. Better furnishings, upgraded kitchens, granite countertops and wireless internet services topped the list of desirable amenities. These items offer luxury and convenience that travelers expect.
