Hot tub/jacuzzi

[timmy]

Do villa renters really want a hot tub?

what are the pros and cons of have having a hot tub? Do renters really want one in a hot climate such as Florida? I can understand the desire for one say in Canada in the winter but why FLorida. For Florida winters you have a lovely heated pool, and in the hot summers you want a cool pool to dip into.

So why would a potential renter want a hot tub?

And aren't they expensive to run and maintain?

Mostly for pain.... ...not matter how hot it is after days of walking round the parks a hot tub would be a must have thing for me.......you also have great cool evenings in winter.....there's nothing better then using a hot tub under the stars when it cool outside......a pool don't come close....

Mine costs about $7 a month to run in summer maybe $10 in winter but we have real cold winters .....I use it everyday.... even in the high 90's......
Everything else you need to keep in clean costs me around $20-30 a year....it adds penny to my water bill....
I think your costs would come in the MC cleaning it.....you may have the same rules as hotels.....but it looks like lots of people renting out have them......hot tubs are the best things in the world.....hehehehehehe

Certainly helps to get bookings. Most homes have the built into the pool filter system so they cost nothing extra in chemicals. Standalone ones are nice but do need extra care, the breakers are also prone to tripping out due to static.

I love mine - it is wonderful after a busy day walking. You don't have to have it boiling hot - a nice warm is ideal for just relaxing in and you can stay in so much longer.
It is a big plus for renting aswell in my opinion. My next plan is to get one at home although in the UK weather that one will have to be very very hot for me to sit in it outside.

We have an indoor one...but in a FL room....that means all the doors open all the way round to make it seem like your outside.....
We have no heating out there so its real cold in the winter....way below 0....thats the best time....I've had a spa bath put in the villa till I know what I want to do outside.....but I know its going to be nowhere near the same.....

What a great idea. We had thought of putting it in a building but liked the idea of being outside but the open windows idea sounds perfect.

I have a link on my profile...with some pic's in it....

we only have a small tub in it...so it gives me room for other things.....like a stove if its real cold......a real fire ...snow outside.....and a hot tub..it gets no better....unless its cool weather under the stars in Orlando.....

I had a look at your photos. It looks really good. We were in Boston and Sunday River for New Year skiing. Fabulous place - brings back memories looking at all the snow in your photos.

We had 6 ft of snow this year.....and 3ft on the roof....we had to get this snow remover with a really long handle to get the snow off..or we could of lost the roof....I love it here spring and fall....winters nice if it snows.....but the summer is very humid....97% most days......
