Televisions can make or break a vacation rental home.  While you might think renters are only interested in other amenities such as pools and hot tubs, they want to have access to televisions as well. By providing enough TVs in your vacation rental, your property will be more appealing to renters.

Living Area

The living area must have a TV that is big enough for everyone to enjoy.  While 27 inches is the minimum, vacation rental owners should consider going with something bigger.  The bigger the TV, the bigger the draw it will be.

Size is not the only thing that is important with the TV in the living area.  Go with the latest technology as well.  A plasma or LCD TV will look more attractive than an old styled TV.  In addition, consider getting an HDTV.  While it might be a little more expensive, it will help you attract sports’ fans who will be watching the big game during their vacations. 

Bedrooms

While most owners agree that the master bedroom should have a TV, they forget about the other bedrooms.  Be sure to include TVs in all of your bedrooms.  After all, people do like to watch TV as they unwind for the night.

The TVs in the bedrooms do not have to be as large as the TV in the living area.  You can put 19 inch TVs in the bedrooms, and that will be sufficient. 

Game Room

If your home has a game room, put a TV in it as well.  The game room is a great place for the entire family to spend time together. Some people might want to play pool while others will want to watch a TV show.  By including a TV in the game room, you will be able to provide something for everyone.

Extras to Consider

Make sure all of the TVs have satellite or cable.  In addition, put surround sound in the living area and include DVD players with all of the TVs.  Also, consider adding gaming consoles to some of the TVs.  These extras will entice people and help you get more renters. 

You don’t want to lose renters because of a lack of television sets.  Spend the extra money so you will fill up your vacation rental calendar.  Place TVs around the home and bring in more renters than ever before.
