What Are the Departure Procedures?

Our standard departure time is 10:00 AM. Please be considerate of our cleaning and inspection teams, who need time to thoroughly clean and prepare the home for the next guests.

Before you go, please take care of a few things so we can ready the property for our next guests.

• Please leave the property neat and tidy with all dishes and cookware clean. (Please note: A charge of $250 will be automatically applied to your bill if any excessive cleaning is required after your departure or if excessive trash needs to be removed).
• You may leave all bedding on the bed. Please leave all used towels in the bathroom(s).
• Please make sure the refrigerator is empty.
• Place trash bags in the trash cans or barrels outside the house (making sure to put the lids back on) and leave recyclables in the delegated bins. Recycling is mandatory and is single stream. Place all recyclables together - cardboard, paper, glass, metal and plastic containers. Metal and glass containers should be rinsed and paper and cardboard should be bundled separately and left beside or on top of bin.
• If you have moved any of the furniture, please return it to its original location.
• Close and lock all of the doors and windows.

Are there any pool toys or floaties at the home? Due to safety and insurance purposes, the home does not offer pool toys or floaties. We are unable to guarantee the quality of the items. It is recommended that you purchase new equipment at a local store. 

Can we use the fireplace? (Applies if the home has a fireplace). Due to safety and insurance requirement purposes, the fireplace is not available to short-term guests.
