I rent one of my places exclusively (ie I don't personally use it)
I have never had anyone "trash" the house, and i virtually never get calls about problems. The one time I did, the floating dock had broken loose and the renter rightly called to let me know
after they did emergency makeshift repairs. Indeed, I think the people
do care about the property and treat it as if it were their own..
I maintain the place impeccably. Everything works and my wife keeps the decor inviting. If you are going to hit people with an expensive weekly rental fee (it can amount to $1000's/week for waterfront) its important to give the customer their money's worth.
This also comes after years of experience.
