 you have a Monica, I have a Monica too that cleans. I am going to adopt the stripping used bedding rule. good tip.

 Sams club has 50 or 80 cups for mid $20s. its a small cost per guest.

I have been open since mid-May. I have only have 4 days vacant (not all in a row). We have had same day turn overs and next day turn overs. some want to book in the site and others want to pay cash.

I am curious what the next few months have in store.

I have a Keurig, and I provide one k-cup per guest with cream and sugar. IF they want more, then they are responsible for buying more for their stay. I also provide a couple snacks like crackers and a bag of popcorn. this is for if they get in late and want a snack or cup of coffee for the morning, they don't have to run out and get it.

I have had no complaints so far. I also list in my description that there is a Keurig machine in the unit.

as soon as you compromise your criteria, you will get burned. Stay the course. if your product is good, people will come.

We use one, because it gives us the ability to stay on the map if someone needs to sleep more than 4 people. we have not had any complaints about comfort. I believe we got a nice unit from havertys.

what would you expect if you are in that same situation renting from someone? then treat your guests the same way.

hire and fire regularly. find out what the motivation is for the cleaner. If they are motivated to be paid and take care of you, then you have the right person. normally a local person outside of a franchise company will do a better job.

Be very specific with what you are looking for. Write up a checklist for them and see what it would cost, or see what they say. for instance, are they replacing light bulbs, sweeping decks, reporting damage, etc... You have to set the expectation early and follow up on the work occasionally.

Bottom line, is if they are not trainable or doing a good job....bye Felisha.

If you turn the TV off, all these problems go away. Media is in place to make you fear things. Be smart about your decisions to run a business and you will be ok.

 Chris,

I am in South Tampa. Palma Ceia to be more specific.
