Check Out Procedures

We know you are on Vacation and we do appreciate your business. But we do have to ask that you abide by our Check Out Procedures. The main reason for this is so we can get the unit ready for the next guest. They arrive only hours after you leave. If you leave the unit in great shape, the next family can have access to the unit on time. We really appreciate you following these procedures.

Most of our guests follow all of these rules very nicely, but for the few that do not, this is notice that a $50.00 fee per incident or per hour which ever applies will be charged to your credit card on file.

1. Check-out time is by 9:00 am local time. Our managers and cleaners arrive at 9:00 am to start cleaning the unit.

2. Lock the door when you leave.

3. Take ALL of the trash in the unit, including the bathrooms and bedrooms, to the bins outside the unit. This is the most common problem.

4. Put ALL dishes in the dishwasher, put soap in and turn it on.

5. Wipe down all kitchen counters and sweep the floors.

6. COMPLETELY empty the refrigerator.

7. Bring all used towels to the laundry room. We provide a washer and dryer and soap for your use. We do encourage you to do laundry during the week to keep up with a load of laundry.

8. Leave beds unmade that have been used.

9. Make sure outdoor furniture is in its original position.

Please leave the home neat and orderly to avoid additional charges. If the cleaning crew finds that the home has been left excessively dirty you will be billed for the additional cleaning time at a rate of $50 per hour.

Please leave the house in as good as shape as possible. The cleaner we find it, the faster we can turn it over to the next guest. We appreciate your help.

Damages:

You are responsible for any and all damages that occur to the property or it's contents by you or any other member of your group while you are the registered occupant of the property. In lieu of a security deposit we will keep your credit card on file as a security deposit. If we discover that there has been damage to the property or it's contents while you are the occupant we will capture an amount from your credit card to cover the estimated cost of repairs. The amount we capture will be an estimate and will probably be more than the actual cost of repairs. We will provide a statement of the damages and the cost of the repairs after they have been completed. If there is a refund due it will be returned to the credit card after all repairs have been made.

If the cleaning company detects any evidence of smoking in the homes not specifically listed as a smoking home you will be billed an additional $200 to deodorize the home.
