It's usually worth opting for a property with laundry facilities: If you're going to be based in your long-stay snowbird rental for a decent amount of time, you'll be glad of the option to wash your clothes and refresh your wardrobe. Similarly, cooking facilities can really come in handy during an extended trip: Some days, you might just not feel like heading out for dinner and would prefer to eat in.
