Pre-Guest Turnover Walkthrough

Last-minute assurance before check-in — every detail, double-checked.

Before your next guest ever steps through the door, we do — to ensure everything is exactly how it should be. Our Pre-Guest Turnover Walkthrough is a full, on-site review of your vacation rental property before each check-in. We act as your final line of defense against last-minute surprises — ensuring your home is clean, staged, and ready to deliver a 5-star experience.

Pre-Guest Walkthrough

Whether you manage your own bookings or use a cleaning service, we come in as a second set of trusted eyes to confirm that nothing was missed, damaged, or forgotten. From checking linens and toiletries to confirming lights are on and AC is set, we make sure your guests arrive to a home that feels cared for and professionally prepared.

What’s Included in Every Turnover Walkthrough:

Cleanliness Check

We do a quick but thorough sweep of the entire home — inspecting floors, counters, bathrooms, mirrors, and appliances to confirm your cleaning crew met the expected standard. If anything is missed, we notify you immediately or correct minor oversights ourselves when possible.

Linen & Supply Confirmation

We verify that fresh towels and sheets are properly placed, toilet paper and paper towels are stocked, and that basic items like soap, trash bags, and dishwasher pods are available for guest use.

Home Staging Touches

Pillows are fluffed, chairs pushed in, lighting adjusted, and small touches — like straightening décor or fixing a crooked frame — are handled to make your property feel intentional and inviting.

Climate & Lighting Setup

We check the thermostat to ensure the home is a comfortable temperature, lights are turned on as needed (especially for late check-ins), and ceiling fans or outdoor lights are working properly.

Safety & Access Review

We confirm that entry instructions (keypad codes, lockboxes, etc.) are functional and easy to follow, smoke detectors are active, and any potential guest issues (loose railings, wobbly chairs, etc.) are flagged.

Photo Confirmation Report

You’ll receive 10–15 quick photos from key areas (kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, exterior, entry) with a short summary — delivered before the guest’s check-in window.
