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.
