Buyers and travelers are becoming more amenity crazy than ever.

Here is a quick list of amenities buyers and travelers are currently cuckoo over:

WiFi Access- Vacation property owners should invest in an inexpensive wireless router that will provide guests with wireless Internet access. This is #1 on modern traveler’s list of must haves.

If you are trying to attract visitors to a neighborhood, make a list of local restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, and bookstores that have free WiFi.

Plenty of Power! - Let’s face it, we’re a country of gadget crazed Americans. If you are serious about making an upgrade that is sure to please buyers, I recommend that you spend a few hundred dollars to have an electrician come in and add additional electrical outlets in key areas of the house.
Same goes for vacation rental owers. Make sure your visitors have enough juice to plug in their cell phone, laptop, Blackberry, portable DVD player, hot rollers, and MP3 player.

Shopping! - Don’t forget nearby shopping, grocery stores, and unique boutiques. If your property is a condo or a resort and has onsite shopping, mention it!

Health Services- With Baby Boomers making up a large segment of travelers and buyers in Hawaii, health services are of interest. Be sure to mention hospitals, gyms, and other fitness related amenities on the property or close by.

Parks, Gardens, Beaches- Not every property is oceanfront or has an ocean view, but don’t discount the value of quality parks and gardens as a major selling factor.

Aloha for now,
