What's included in a short-term rental turnover?

A full turnover resets the property between guests — stripping and remaking beds, laundering linens, restocking consumables, cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms, and checking for guest damage. That's more scope than a mid-stay clean, which skips the full reset; published Clearwater-market rates put turnovers at $50–$300 versus $50–$200 for mid-stay.

What does a full turnover actually cover?

Every turnover resets the unit for the next guest: beds stripped and remade, all linens and towels laundered or swapped, kitchen and bathrooms cleaned, trash and recycling cleared, and a walkthrough to check for anything broken, missing, or left behind. Restocking basic consumables — soap, paper products — is part of the same pass.

How is a turnover different from a mid-stay clean?

A mid-stay clean — refreshing towels, taking out trash, a light bathroom and kitchen wipe-down for a guest staying multiple nights — skips the full reset a turnover needs. That's why published Clearwater-market rates for mid-stay cleaning run lower, at $50–$200, against $50–$300 for a full turnover.

What happens if something's damaged or missing?

Part of every turnover is a walkthrough before the next guest checks in, which is when damage or missing items typically surface first. What happens after it's flagged — documenting it and getting it to the host — is its own process, separate from the cleaning itself.

Are linens and towels included in a turnover?

Yes — laundering or swapping all linens and towels is part of every full turnover, along with restocking basic consumables like soap and paper products. A mid-stay clean, by contrast, typically just refreshes towels rather than fully laundering bedding.

Does a turnover include restocking supplies?

Yes, basic consumables such as soap and paper products are restocked as part of the standard turnover scope. Specialty or host-provided items outside that basic list are typically handled separately.

Is a damage check part of every turnover?

Yes — a walkthrough to check for anything broken, missing, or left behind happens during every turnover, before the unit is marked ready for the next guest. It's a standard part of the reset, not an add-on.
