In the past year or so, I've had guests contacting me constantly when they are at the house. It's always something different, so it's not like I can update my listing with a question that is commonly asked.
For instance:
- Asking where the patio cushions are and they are in a huge deck box right on the deck.
- Asking if we provide condiments.
- We have two bathrooms and have 3 rolls of toilet paper in each and I leave one roll of paper towel out, they use it all and contact me for more.
- Text me menus from two different restaurants and ask if its the same place.
- Text me at 11 at night, knowing I'm in EST, asking if we have TV channels when we clearly have dish hooked up to all TVs in the house and all of the remotes out and functional.
- Ask how to work the shower when I put a diagram on how to operate it right where the bath towels are.
- We have a HUGE full bar, with all barware imaginable, including glasses for every type of drink, a guy texted me and asked if we had bigger drink glasses. I'm not sure why a pint glass wouldn't have met his needs. 🙂
- Run out of dish soap, coffee filters, etc. and text me to get them more..
These are just a few of the many questions I get. I understand that things to come up, but when I rent a home, I never, ever contact the owner. The only time I would contact them is if there were an emergency. If supplies run out, I go buy them.
It's getting very aggravating, to be honest. I'm actually thinking of pulling my listing because it's becoming such a disruption and I'm always on my phone answering questions...it's taking time away from my family.
Have others had this issue? It's just becoming much too time consuming.
