Here are a few brainstorming ideas:Outdoor LivingMust have potential for high-impact features like fire pits, hot tubs, dining areas, or outdoor games to significantly boost appeal.Views & ProximityProperties with desirable views or close proximity to water, nature, or main attractions offer an enhanced guest experience.Premium Interior FeaturesPotential for dedicated game rooms, high-speed Wi-Fi, or comfortable dedicated workspaces to cater to diverse guest needs.Easy ParkingAdequate and convenient parking for the expected guest group size is critical for convenience and securing 5-star reviews.Garage to Game Room ConversionIf driveway parking is plentiful, converting a garage into a functional game room or extra living space offers amazing added value.Noise & Light AbatementEnsuring quiet enjoyment of the property through noise reduction measures enhances guest comfort and prevents issues with neighbors.
