[quote=Anonymous]have an OBX house I rent weekly.  Definitely find out ahead about the linens.  That includes towels, everything.  Many places will have the option of linen service and most of our guests use it.  If you DIY, everyone needs to know room assignments ahead of time so they bring the right sheets.

If you have a problem with the house, please call the realty.  We want you to be happy and that is why we pay them.

decide ahead of time how you handle meals.  We usually have people on their own for breakfast and lunch (make and do your own dishes!), then do a group dinner (rotate cooking or go out).  I like a relaxed vacation and don't want 3 sit down meals at table with everyone per day.  it ends up being too much cooking and cleaning.  Cereal, sandwiches, leftovers, easy stuff for those meals.

bring your own beach chairs and basic cleaning supplies (including hand soap for bathrooms).  I usually stock those well at the beginning of the year when I am there, but they often get taken/don't get replaced and since I am not there there is nothing I can do about it.  And please, don't steal the hand towels and dishcloths!  for some reason I buy a ton of these each year and they are all gone by the end of the season.  This is a good time to use those travel soaps you've collected (for bathrooms especially).

bring Tide and fabric softener, you'll want to wash beach towels, etc.  I wash the blankets for the bed too ASAP so I know they are clean.  I then wash again the last day but that's not necessary.

Finally, do write about your experience in the little book.  It helps me make improvements.  Well, mostly.  One time someone complained that a feral cat outside hissed at them -- nothing I can do about that.
