Not sure which rental company you went with or maybe VRBO, but many of the owners have some amount of courtesy provisions awaiting for you.
Usually a small bottle of Rum, snacks, soft drinks, and water. We have even had yogurt, fruit, and sweet rolls for in the first morning. No big deal but enough to take the edge off a day of traveling and getting situated.
I always recommend hitting the villa first just to see what is there from previous guest to avoid double buying.
However I could see where provisioning may ease the first day transition in to island time quicker. On this point, I was surprised that our last three villa rentals did not provide a welcome basket. Not to sound all snotty but these were high end houses and I was expecting something. In prior years there was always something, even if it was just a cheese/fruit plate and a bottle of wine. Anyone else notice fewer welcome baskets over the past couple of years?
