Airbnb: To get a Pool or not in Florida
Hi all, quick question.
I am in the Port Saint Lucie, Fl market and i have an airbnb that is doing quite well from an income perspective.
However going into the summer my bookings have slowed down, i do not currently have a pool.
Is getting a $500 above ground pool worth it?
Anyone have any advise when it comes to liability/insurance if i have a pool at my airbnb?
Thank you very much for your input!

@Scott Goulet if that's the case and there is no significant difference in occupancy, then my gut tells me that it is not a major factor that guests consider and are willing to pay a premium for. Or, there are so pools already that it is no longer a unique differentiator.
I would do a game room over a movie theatre. I think most people are content with a decent tv in a comfy living room.
