Adding a hot tub to your second Santa Barbara home will make it more appealing to vacationers. Rental homes with hot tubs generate $14,000 more than homes without, generally speaking. The up-front cost is significant, but a hot tub will pay for itself many times over.
What's more, a dirty house is more memorable than a clean house, according to renters. Make sure the linens are fresh and the floors are spick and span to avoid any bad memories. The only things a renter needs to bring are clothes and food.
