Check-Out

After a hopefully great visit, please make sure that all of the linens and towels are either put on the floor of the laundry room or at the foot of the bed, including all sofa-beds; if you are so inspired, feel free to start a couple of loads of laudry! We try and be green as much as we can and hate laundering clean stuff. Also, while we do not expecte you to clean the house, we do expect that the house is left tidy, with dishes and glasses either cleaned and put away or in a running dishwasher.

As with early check-in, we try to be flexible with check-out times. Although it never hurts to ask, late check-out is entirely dependent on the arrival date of the next guest, the scheduling of the cleaning crew, etc. 

 

The following checklist is intended to insure that items are not forgotten in rental cars, purses, computer cases, etc.

  • Extra Food. Any leftover unopened food will be given to the two ladies who clean the house, who then bring it to their church foodbank. Or maybe they eat it, especially the yummy desserts some people leave, there's no way to be sure...

  • Garage Door Opener. Our survey says: The #1 item people forget to return!!! Please make sure it is out of your car and on the kitchen table. There is a $75 charge for a missing opener.

  • Keys. You can either replace the keys in the lock box or leave them on the kitchen table and lock the door behind you when you leave. There is a $150 charge for missing keys, since this is a safety issue and the entire house needs to be re-keyed.

  • Pool Key. Please replace it on the key holder or on the kitchen table. The HOA charges a flat $75 for a replacement key.

  • Keyboard/Mouse USB Adapter. Please check your laptop and replace the USB adapter on the workstation. There is a $50 fee to replace and reprogram it.

  • Dog Waste. The cleaning fee does not cover the cleaning of pet waste, so please clean up after your pet. There is an additional $50 cleaning fee for pet waste.

Finally, your security deposit will be released as soon as the house has been cleaned and inspected. If booking directly, you can expect a refund of your deposit within 48 hours. If you booked through AirBnB or VRBO, you can realistically expect a 14-21 day delay in your deposit being refunded. Please know that this is entirely out of my control.
