Frequently Asked Questions

Accessibility. An individual landlord who handles all the property management work might not always be available when you lock yourself out at 2 a.m. or have a weekend plumbing emergency, while you can expect our property management company to provide round-the-clock service so you can enjoy your vacation.

Resources. Property management companies are typically more professional than individual landlords when it comes to handling repairs and maintenance. We have experienced on-call, in-house mechanical teams with set procedures and the ability to take on big fixes immediately. And in the event, there’s an unexpected problem significant enough to require guests to leave a property, we have 60+ rental options available to save the day!

Procedures and protocol. Our professional property management company are sticklers for rules and procedures, such as doing cleaning and check in inspections, re-programming of locks with every new arrival—and just an overall higher standard of performance and accountability. Our property managers are here for you but not on vacation with you, the downside of individual attention is that it might sometimes be more intrusive than desirable.

Amenities. Although individual landlords and property management companies are held to similar legalities, a property management company is required to have additional licensing, insurance, and protocols in place to accommodate the majority and without discrimination. We must approach all situations from a logistics and safety standpoint rather than an emotionally vested one.

Therefore, our staff and cleaners are not permitted to leave behind any personal items from previous guests (such as but not limited to):

  • Open or unopened food items
  • Toiletries
  • Personal Items
  • Beach equipment
  • Baby equipment
  • Live greenery
  • etc…

We do offer new/sealed start pack amenities upon check in, but they are not meant to withstand a long length of stay. They are simply meant to provide comfort and convenience for the first 24 hours or until a personal delivery or pickup of said items can be made by our guests.

We are asked this question a lot, and rightfully so. All our cleaning crews are fully licensed and professionally trained to meet current CDC guidelines when sanitizing each of our rentals between each guest occupancy. Along with basic cleaning areas such as showers/tubs and floors – we also make sure to spend extra time disinfecting the smaller, more common “high touch areas” such as countertops, light switches, door handles and faucets. Additionally, all our towels and bedding are washed in water that’s at least 60°C/140°F. We also offer a step-up from regular linen service with our exclusive “Never-Been-Slept-In” linen package. When you add this to your reservation, we will make sure every mattress in your rental home has a brand-new set of sheets and pillowcases – right out of the package and freshly washed! Give us a call for more details.
