Having a DVD/VHS library available in your second home to your renters is another much appreciated and marketable amenity.  Most vacationers simply want to get away and relax and even in high-activity regions, renters need to unwind in the evenings before setting out to ski, swim, hike, etc. the next day.

Where to Find Inexpensive DVDs and Videos

You can get a lot of older brand new DVDs for less than $10 these days and VHS tapes for less than $5.

Look for new DVDs and Videos at: Wal-Mart Look for used DVDs and Videos at: Local library Thrift stores Video stores eBay Craigslist

Another idea:  If you've switched most of the movies at your primary home to DVDs and have a store of VHS tapes lying around unused, stock them in your vacation rental property with a VCR instead of throwing them out.

A DVD/VHS library would be especially appreciated in remote areas without a nearby video store. 

Types of Movies to Stock

I'd recommend stocking your vacation home with a variety family friendly movies with unisex appeal, as well as, movies specifically for guys, gals, and kids.
