I wouldn’t call the following butler services, however some special
perks you won't find at the local hotels......
Take guests out on our pontoon boat to see the dolphin and
mangrove creeks,
Have a special afternoon tea in my Brooklyn home’s formal
dining room,
Take guests on a kayaking tour of our Key largo bay and
mangroves and walking tour of our Historic Brooklyn neighborhood.
Provide bikes and kayaks in actually both Key largo and
Brooklyn!
Yes, kayaking in Brooklyn is wonderful!
I digress, back to what is considered 5 star amenities:
I couldn’t resist, I had to go to the Lanesborough website
just to see what they would talk about first under their amenities; and of course to see what today’s on-call
butlers do and to compare our places and what we have to offer at our Vacahaven
vacation rentals in the paradise’s of Brooklyn NY and Key Largo Florida!
The first thing under their amenities: Location, location,
location. That was their first
amenity; not quite an ‘amenity’ per say.
However, the Realtor’s motto is on queue. Well, in my opinion, location is important. And that doesn’t mean the first place
that comes up on search engines, or guide books, although those places are
great too!
For instance, in NYC, Times Square is a ‘not to miss place
but don’t want to sleep there” How does my Brooklyn home measure up for a NYC
accommodation?
In Brooklyn, our neighborhood has the highest concentration
of Victorian homes and California bungalows in the United States; is walking
distance to Prospect Park; Architect Olmstead’s landscape crowning achievement
and the exceptional Brooklyn Museum or our Brooklyn Academy of Music Center,
‘BAM’ for short.
Our subway line is the Q and B line and runs through China
town, the Village, Union Square, Madison Square, Times Square and Central Park;
all highlights of Manhattan.
In the Florida Keys, I’m thinking one of the big hotels with
a pool.
Just if your coming all the way to the Keys, in my opinion,
a hotel in general, doesn’t give the American Caribean feel. Also, keep in
mind, the waters are so lovely, that the bay and our canals are like BIG
swimming poolsJ
Why not swim with the manatee, snorkel with the fish and in Key Largo,
get out to the wonderful John Pennecamp Coral Reef State Park.
So the next amenity after location, WOW! In room TV, more specifically:
“unobtrusive fully interactive entertainment system”.
All our places have entertainment systems, maybe not their
caliber, however, I was quite pleased to see the rest of the list of their
amenities we also do for our vacation rentals!!
In our Key Largo vacation rentals, our entertainment systems
are not all the same in each property.
For example, if you have to have a large TV, go for the Silver MOOn
houseboat or the Manatee Queen Haven; Sun Bay haven and Eagle Cove Haven have
‘regular’ size TV’s. When you want
to get away from TV, then choose our Everglades Amor Houseboat. The views from the bow of the boat,
overlooking the bay to the Southern Everglades is so wonderful, you won’t have
time for TV.
IN Brooklyn, our second floor lounge & kitchen, have a
very large TV screen for Netflix, youtube, and DVDs, 200 CD’s and radio.
All our places have Internet and WiFi.
