All rooms should have ceiling fans.  This will cut down on your utility costs and keep everyone comfortable all year long.  If your unit does not have a screened door, we strongly advise that one be installed.

The unit should be sparkling clean.  Cabinets and drawers cleaned and lined with new shelf paper.  Kitchen appliances cleaned and all windows washed inside and out.  When necessary, the unit must be repainted.

PLEASE DO NOT leave personal items in the unit unless you have a locked closet (this should be an extra closet, not the main closet in either the master or guest bedrooms).  Also, do not leave any food items in the unit (this is against the health codes in Florida).  These are courtesies that will be greatly appreciated by your renters.

Your unit will be inspected before any seasonal tenant arrives and will be pre-cleaned, if necessary.  The fee for the initial cleaning will be paid for be the homeowner.  Your unit will be cleaned after each guest departs and the cleaning fee will be paid for by the guest. 

We ask that you ensure there is an inventory of "basic supplies" in the home prior to the first guest's arrival.  We ask our guests to use what they need but to replace it prior to departure.  Quite frankly, this does not always happen, thus, it is the owner's responsibility to ensure these supplies are replenished.  Your leasing agent will assist in taking care of this with/for you.

Thank you.
