• Tidy up a bit. Despite the fact that you're spending money on a house cleaning fee, The vacation home really should be in good shape. Kitchen sinks stuffed with dirty dishes, surplus sand on the floor and sticky messes should be dealt with before leaving.
• Make a point to walk through the rental home one final time and check for damages. We recommend walking through with the property manager wherever possible (this may not be possible).. If the property owner is not available, make sure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
