Renting an Airbnb with a non kosher kitchen...what can I use? I know I can’t cook but my primary needs are warming up food and hot water. Can I heat food in the oven doublE wrapped? Can I bring a teapot to boil water?
(Sorry if I sound dumb I’ve only ever rented kosher villas before)

Kasher the oven and the stovetop and use them to your hearts delight.

You can use a *gas* stove (not electric like in FL), since it kashers itself every time it is on. Feel free to bring a pot to use on the stove top.
You can also double wrap food and cook in the oven. And double wrap food and cook in the microwave (not a wrapping that will pop open midway).
It's easier to self clean the oven and then use it, even if you double wrap. It will give you peace of mind.

I would Kasher the microwave and the Gas burners -both very easy.
Personally, I would skip the oven.

I've never heard that gas ovens kasher themselves whenever used. Do you have a source? It would be very helpful to me if covid ever ends, as my dad has a gas oven.
OP, if the oven has a self clean, do that, and you're set. Otherwise, you can double wrap and cook or warm the food.
I've never found it easy to kasher gas burners, but maybe I'm weird. I'd just pick up something like this https://www.amazon.com/Ovente-.....r=1-1
You can't use these for Shabbat because they don't keep the water warm, but they boil very quickly.

Also, before Pesach, I usually find plastic counter covers, sort of like a plastic bag, but softer (and more sterile). If you can find them, use them over counters when you put food down.

I wrote gas stove. The fire kashers the burners each time the fire is on.

Don’t self clean oven without asking. I have heard horror stories. Yes you can double wrap the food and put in oven, light stove on high for 15 minutes and then it’s kashered ( if clean).

Double wrapping solves most things.

Yes, double wrap. You can also consider bringing a toaster oven, portable grill, electric hot water pot.

You can do a lot with a sandwich maker too.
Eggs, pancakes, grilled cheese, paninis, etc.

You cannot kasher something that is dirty.
Even if it looks clean there is often food residue and old grease on the stovetop and oven.
When I stayed in an Airbnb, I took a half size blech that covered 2 burners and kashered 2 burners using the blech to spread the heat. I just needed hot water and a way to heat things up so placing things on top of the blech was a good way.

I would double wrap all food in order to be able to use the oven, and bring an electric kettle (that you plug in)
