Best Hot Tub for a vacation rental?

(1/3) > >>

New here. Thanks in advance for the help.

Need to vacation rent our place and putting in a hot tub to help with this. Was looking at Sundance/BullFrog/ Hot Springs etc but not sure if this is the best way to go. I've read Consumer Affair ratings, reviews etc and they don't seem to be the most durable. Would appreciate some advice on a durable hottub that doesn't sacrifice on features/comfort and comes with a good warranty. Having talked to a lot of folks in our situation my understanding is that anything like this in a vacation rental is going to take a beating and subject to repairs. Place sleeps 8 so looking at a 6 person hot tub. Thanks again!

Don't take stock into consumer affair ratings.  It is a complain site.

For goodness sake, the iphone has a less than 2 star rating. 

I would go sexy looking, but simple.

If looking at Sundance or Hot Spring.  Look at the edison from Sundance, or the Rhythm from Hot Spring.

If Bullfrog, look at X-Series, but insist on the circ pump.

No need for the salt system, no need for fancy filtering, no need for advance control panels that renters will just mess up.

Basic is best.

The 3 brands you listed are regarded by many as top tier in the industry.  I don't personally think you can go wrong with any of those 3.  As D00nut said, choose something on the more basic side.  No need to have a bunch of fancy stuff that is either going to get abused or not used.

Sam:
I would suggest looking into a well made rotomold.  Their are certainly going to stand up to the abuse of renters better than an acrylic spa.  And believe, renters are the worst with hot tubs. 

mrburns:
Thanks for all the replies. The Rhythm in Hot Spring makes sense.

Never thought about rotomolded spas but they are starting to make a lot of sense. Seems to be a lot cheaper and if a lot more durable than acrylic then might be the right one for a vacation rental. Any recommendations on a good looking rotomolded spa? Thanks!
