Needs better preparation
1) We had booked the house for 6 people. We found precisely 6 bath towels and 6 hand towels -- no extras. There were no washcloths, no bath mats and no kitchen towels. (BTW, the ad claims the house sleeps 8 but there are only 3 double beds) There were no filters for the coffee maker. We texted the owner about these shortages and received a delivery from WalMart 24 hours later with extra towels, coffee filters, and a package of coffee pods for the Keurig. 3) The cutlery drawer contained only 4 flatware knives. There were only 5 place mats for the dining table. 4) There were two remote controls left in the basket under the TV set. Neither remote had any instructions on how to use them. We finally figured out how to use the TV remote, by trial and error. The other remote was supposed to raise the blinds over the front window but we could not get it to work, even after inserting fresh batteries. We texted the owner about this but received no reply until 24 hours later, when he suggested that the batteries in the shade itself might need changing. He explained that he was away. There are NO batteries in the shade: it plugs directly in the wall socket. So we spent the next two days unable to raise the front blinds. On our third day we found, by accident, another remote buried in the sofa cushions, which turned out to be the remote for the blinds, and it worked fine. Don't know what the other remote was for.
