CHECK-OUT POLICY

To insure you get your full Deposit back, this is how the house & areas around the house should be left:

OUTSIDE:
(very little of your cleaning fee has been dedicated to the outside areas):

Pool:

Grill:


Deck:


Umbrellas:

Trash:

Path, Yard, Deck:

Patio Furniture:

Seafood:

Removed everything from the pool area & from the bottom/surface of the pool.

Cooled Coals disposed of, run grill brush over rack to remove residual food.  
Please NEVER put wood, twigs, leaves, branches, etc. In the Grill. only use coals

Remove all debris, trash, etc. return furniture to its proper spot.  All floatation devices, pool toys, etc. Put under stainless steel table.

All down & strapped closed (this needs to be done daily, before leaving the pool area).

Removed, put in large rolling trash cans under the house.

All trash, debris, cigarette butts, etc. Properly disposed of in trash cans under house.



​Please return any lawn furniture back to where it was when you arrived.

If there are any seafood remains left on the ground, decks, outside sink, etc. Some Deposit will be kept.  If you bring seafood, please have a plan to properly dispose of it.

INSIDE:

Grease & Other messy things: 



Dishes: 



Trash: 

Bedding: 




Towels:  

Properly dispose of any grease (put in a sealed container, preferably the one the grease arrived in), and put in the large down stairs trash.  Please have a plan for properly disposing of any messy, residual, or leftover food.  If you don't have a plan for getting rid of it, we certainly don't.  Please DO NOT leave your FOOD or Food BYPRODUCTS for us to remove. Any dishes, cookware, utensils, etc. used during your stay, must be cleaned & put back in their cabinet.  Dishes, etc. used the day of departure, are fine to have them washing in the dishwasher when you leave. 
All household trash needs to be bagged & brought down to the downstairs large trash cans.
Any bed slept in, leave unmade.  Do NOT take bedding to the laundry room.  Our cleaning crew is routinely switched out & the arriving crew, the day of your departure, needs to see what bedding goes where.  It also makes it easy, should there be damage to bedding, to let you know which room the bedding was in, making it easy for the cleaners to know who is responsible.
Used towels can either be left on the floor in the bathroom, laundry room, or if you wish, you can start a load (or two, there are two washer machines) before you depart.  It's appreciated, but not required.  

"CAN WE LEAVE EARLY?"  YES! 

Previously, Some guests have thought, they had to stay until check out, basically having to wait until the maids arrive to turn the house over them.   It is fine, to leave earlier than check-out.  We ask that you MAKE SURE ALL DOORS ARE LOCKED, and if possible, let us know the night before or morning of your departure (text or call).  Someone will go over, after you leave, & set the house alarm.  If you stay until checkout time, between 9:45 - 10 AM, the 1st, 2nd & possibly 3rd cleaning person will arrive (they tend to arrive in staggered shifts).  Prior to 10 AM, if you are still getting yourselves together, just tell them to wait.  At 10 AM, they must have access to the house to begin the cleaning.  It's a 6 hour, frantic, process from beginning to end, to get the house ready for the next arriving guests.  FYI - cleaning crew speaks very little English.
