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 guest 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.
- Check-out time is by 10:00 am local time. Our managers and cleaners arrive at 10:00 am to start cleaning the unit. If you are on the property when they arrive at 10:00am you will be charged.
- Make sure you lock all doors when you leave.
- Take ALL of the trash, including the bathrooms and bedrooms, to the trash bins. We ask for this as common couresty for the next guest arriving to keep odors away.
- Put ALL dishes in dishwasher, put dishwashing soap in and turn on.
