[quote=Anonymous]I only saw “decent knives” mentioned once so will repeat. I actually like to cook on vacation, but even the nicest houses I’ve stayed in have had trash knife sets that make cutting a cucumber a struggle. Not saying you need a set of expensive German or Japanese chef’s knives but something better than a rusty $19 Macys Black Friday special replaced every 10 years would be great. Also, at least one decent cutting board, but preferably 2-3.

Adding on that towel hooks and drying lines  are an absolute must, as are kitchen linens even if you don’t provide any others. Beds have to be decent. Bunk beds should have rails if you expect to rent to kids. Living/dining furniture should be commensurate with the number of people it sleeps. If you sleep 8, sit 8.

Hand soap, spices, dish tabs, trash bags, coffee filters, and some starter paper products are great but I wouldn’t feel compelled to keep up and restock all season. You should have batteries and light bulbs on hand, though.

Lastly - get rid of all glass tables, please. I teach my kids to respect things, but glass tables in a rental  are just a problem waiting to happen. We rule out houses with glass tables from our searches as a rule. [/quote]
