Lots of small appliances, plenty of knives, all sorts of utensils. 50 plus spices in the cabinet.

We have a STR at the beach and it amazes me how often we replace dishes/glasses/utensils.

For some reason I can't find a single writing utensil(sp?)

Furniture, kitchen utensils, flat screen televisions, music recording equipment, a lot!

You pay all the utilities; you need a full unit of furniture and decor; you need plates, utensils, pots and pans, glasses and cups, coffee maker, toaster and basic cooking supplies; you need linens and towels, soaps and shampoo and conditioner and blow dryers and basic bathroom supplies; you need laundry soap and supplies; and you have the cost of cleaning on the turn (usually charged to the guest but you still have to manage it).

@Joseph Barnes ,Something you'll need understand about being a landlord versus being a short term rental host is that as a STR host you're crossing over into another industry: hospitality, on top of being a property owner.A short term rental is expected to be fully furnished as well as fully stocked with a coffee brewer, pots, pans, utensils, dishes, cups / glasses, flatware, towels, soap / shampoo, other bath items, bed linens, ... even some basic food items like breakfast cereals, canned items, etc.

For dishware, bakeware, cookware, utensils, etc. we are big fans of TJ Maxx and Home Goods. 

it says in part;"No person shall apply or cause to be applied any lead-based paint, glaze or other substance to any toy, furniture, cooking, drinking, or eating utensil, or interior or exterior surface or fixture of any dwelling; and no person shall sell, expose for sale, deliver, give away or possess with intent to sell, deliver or give away any toy, furniture, cooking, drinking or eating utensil to which any lead-based paint, glaze or other substance has been applied." 

Never share utensils and sanitize your place. 

Full kitchens with all appliances and utensils.
