Pool toys is a tricky one as they are very transient. I don't know of an owner who does not have them but they tend to wear our or get punctures very easily but we find guests replace with new ones as required and in fact over time the number of pool toys increases, which is great for all guests.
They are very inexpensive from places like Wal-Mart so you tend to find guests buy a few while shopping for other things (pressure from their kids no doubt [msnwink]).

Don't forgot to list items like BBQs and Bicycles and Pool Toys if you have them. [/quote]

I agree with John. I don't advertise Pool toys for that very reason. We tend to find loads which guests have left behind. We always pick a few up from Walmart or Publix.
-
We also normally have to weed out the number of pool toys or we get overrun with them. They are only a few $s in the supermarkets and guests usually leave lots of them for us but some go and new ones come as they wear out and get replaced so we don't tend to advertise them either.
I think you'll find most pool homes probably have them when you're looking around at homes, even if they don't mention them. If in doubt, ask the owner and they'll be happy to tell you. :)

Same with us, the ones there now are totally different from the original ones I put in when we closed.
However, they never feature on the photos of the pool. Perhaps they should.

Our Man Co reckons he could start a business selling the pool toys left behind each time guests leave.
As for BBQs .. great untill guests dont clean them, do I pay the Man Co extra to do it, do I leave it for the incoming guests or do I not have one ?? unfortunately not everyone leaves a home as we would expect to find it.

We left a very large 'Shamu' at the villa last year we had had him for years and used to bring him home each trip but we had too much shopping last year[msnwink]

He's still there Mach 2 and is a favourite with other guests too!!
He's huge and I have to admit that last December I let the air out of him (no mean feat in itself!!) and put him around the side of the house, because we were having a new virtual tour done and I didn't want him "starring" in it. Low and behold he was back perched on the hot tub when I went out in May. [msnsmile2][msnsmile2][msnsmile2]

but do any of you villa owners mind if we leave bits and pieces behind such as pool toys etc????
have never thought to ask before just did it, but if you have so many guests doing that during the year you will be snowed under with them?
hope nobody minds me asking???:D
-
I don't think any owner would mind at all - speaking for myself we're always delighted when guests leave things for future guests at the villa.
For example, we have a small book exchange thing going on at our 3 bed where you can take any book as long as you leave one in it's place and it's lovely to see a new collection of books each time we go [msnsmile].
