[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, I would not let anyone other than the closest family members stay at a second home - especially one as nice as yours seems to be. You are being extremely generous (possibly too generous for your own good). If I was lucky enough to be offered a stay at a beach home, I might initially be taken somewhat aback at being asked for a cleaning fee - but that's only because I always make sure to thoroughly clean up before I leave. If I knew that you were paying a cleaning team, I would be perfectly fine covering the cost.

I'd suggest that you just be honest - "We love having friends stay at our home, but we've found that it's been costing us quite a bit to get the house ready for our next visitors, so we've reluctantly decided to ask our visitors to cover the cleaning fee." I can't imagine anyone would object to that.[/quote]

I think this is too apologetic. We stay at our friends beach house. She gives us the keys info on the house and the amount for the cleaning service. That way it's done to her standards and no fuss no muss no discussion [/quote]
