We recommend the following for a successful rental:
- For bedding, have two to three sets of nice, quality sheets per bed, preferably white or light-colored. (*dependent on how many guests turnovers during the week).
- Several sets of nice quality white towels & washcloths per bathroom.
- Refrigerator and freezer must be clean and COMPLETELY emptied.
- Leave adequate shelves & space available in the pantry.
- Closets do not have to be empty, but there needs to be obvious space for guests to hang clothes along with an ample supply of hangers.
- Supply soap for all bathrooms and the kitchen. We suggest liquid soap, so that bar soap does not have to be changed daily.
- Please make sure silverware, tableware, and cookware are available for renter’s use. Should your rental become a host variety then the caterer/chef can be responsible for dishes, etc.
- It is preferable to schedule a deep clean of your home prior to guest arrival. You may also want to consider washing windows and/or pressure washing your home and the surrounding areas if there are any signs of mildew residue.
- Schedule housekeeper according to the guest’s request for service (ex. beginning and end of stay, daily, or otherwise requested).
- Leave an adequate supply of cleaning supplies for the housekeeper to use.
- Make an emergency list of contacts for businesses you use for plumbing, heating & air, etc. along with your number in the event the renter has a question or a problem.
- Schedule a maintenance visit for your alarm system and HVAC units to ensure they are working appropriately during your rental.
- Leave directions and passwords for wifi access & the alarm system. If there is complicated TV access and/or remotes, please leave directions for their use.
