Airbnb & Vacation Rental Turnover Cleaning FAQ
Do you clean Airbnb and VRBO rentals in the Florida Keys?
Yes. We handle turnover cleaning for Airbnb, VRBO, and other short-term rentals throughout the Middle Keys — Marathon, Duck Key, Key Colony Beach, and Grassy Key. Whether you list on one platform or several, we keep your rental spotless and guest-ready between bookings.
What’s included in a vacation rental turnover?
Fresh linens and made beds, fully sanitized bathrooms and kitchens, vacuuming and mopping, wiping down all surfaces and appliances, setting out guest amenities, and a check for damage or items left behind — so your short-term rental is spotless and guest-ready every time.
What time do you need guests to check out for a turnover?
We prefer a 9 AM departure. An earlier checkout gives us the full window to turn the property over thoroughly before your next guest arrives — which matters most during back-to-back Airbnb and VRBO bookings.
Can you do Saturday turnovers?
Saturday is the busiest turnover day in the Keys, and our Saturday availability is limited — many of those slots are held by long-standing clients whose standing bookings are already on our calendar. Other days are usually easier to schedule, so reach out early and we’ll tell you what’s open for your dates.
Can you handle back-to-back bookings during high season?
Yes. High season is exactly when reliable turnovers matter most, and it’s when short-term rental owners count on us. We hold your dates and show up on schedule, so a full booking calendar never becomes a last-minute scramble.
Do you offer mid-stay cleanings during a guest’s booking?
No. We focus on turnovers between guests and don’t offer mid-stay cleanings.
Do you clean pet-friendly vacation rentals?
Yes, with a $100 minimum pet surcharge. Pet turnovers take extra time and care — thorough hair removal from floors, furniture, and linens, plus extra sanitizing. It’s a small cost in context: boarding a pet for a trip runs well over $100, so guests who bring pets expect to pay for the privilege, and the surcharge keeps your rental in fresh, hair-free shape for the next guest.
Who pays for guest amenities like toilet paper, soap, and coffee?
The cost of guest amenities is the owner’s responsibility unless we arrange something different in advance. We’re happy to set them out as part of the turnover, and we’ll give you a heads-up when supplies are running low.
I live out of state — can you manage my Airbnb turnovers without me there?
Absolutely. Many of our short-term rental owners live elsewhere. You don’t need to be present — we communicate directly with you and flag any issues we notice, so you stay informed from anywhere.
Will I get photos after every turnover?
We don’t send photos after every clean. But if we spot a problem — damage, a maintenance issue, anything that needs your attention — we’ll send you a photo and a heads-up right away so you can act on it.
How do you help protect my 5-star reviews?
A spotless, well-stocked rental is what earns 5-star guest reviews, and that’s what we deliver every turnover. We don’t cut corners, because we know your next review depends on the details — clean linens, sanitized bathrooms, no leftover hair or crumbs, everything in its place.
