I suggest all guests make a note of whether the Guests will bring their own OR require me/the host to supply all the bed linen/bath & beach towels. But please allow for an additional surcharge of $595 for linen/towels, if you prefer the owner to provide temporary use and then dry clean them all afterwards too.

Plus 16 white bath towels & x16 beach towels for your temporary use).

I just prefer to know upfront which is preferable by the guest (ie guest or host to supply all linen/towels). As each guest is different and there may be additional costs and time needed for cleaning & linen/towel setup too. Hence, please advise upfront which you prefer?
