Hot Tub in a beach rental worth it?

[Sarah Hylander]

Considering a hot tub for our NC beach rental, its our first STR.

Does anyone have experience with a hot tub at a beach house? 

Do you think it helps your rentals in the off season? What about prime season, curious if that can help me raise the rates a bit.
