What is included — and what is not

This is how we actually work on Mexico Beach, Port St. Joe, and Cape San Blas rentals. We quote the job. We do not add a surprise menu at the door.

Usually part of a turnover

• Linens. We remake beds to the system you specified and use a labeled backup set if a sheet is stained or damp. We do not put a bad set back on the bed and hope. If there is no backup, we tell you and the bed stays stripped.
• Restocking. Toilet paper, soap, trash bags, and kitchen starters only from what you keep on site. We do not shop a welcome basket during the window.
• Inspection and damage reporting. We walk the house and tell you what is broken, missing, or past a turnover (soaked sofa bed, clogged outdoor shower, no backup sheets). We report. We do not repair AC, plumbing, or appliances. We will send a photo of a specific problem when you ask; we do not run a separate photo-report package on every turn.
• Guest-window turnovers. We schedule from your checkout and arrival times. Tight turnarounds and overnight turns are quoted as different jobs. If the outgoing guest is late, we do not get those minutes back.
• Beach sand. Outdoor shower, entry mats, the first stretch inside every exterior door, sliders, and the traffic path. Sand is the job here, not an add-on.
• Grills, lanais, and balconies. Wipe and reset the grill, outdoor table, and beach-gear pile. We make the view presentable from inside. We are not detailing every exterior window or pressure-washing a balcony on a turnover unless that was quoted.

Say so up front — it changes the job

• Pet hair. Tell us about pets. Extra hair, dander, and crate/litter areas can push a “normal turn” into more time. We do not advertise a separate pet-hair specialty; we need the truth so the quote matches the house.
• Inside ovens, fridge purge, baseboards, every closet. That is a deep clean or a custom add-on, not something we hide inside a tight guest-window turnover.

Not included unless you booked it

• Off-site laundry. Wet guest towels in a Cape closet are a humidity problem; they are not a promise we have a commercial laundry next door.
• Throwing away guest-left beach gear unless you tell us to.
• Property management, guest messaging, or listing the house.
• Guest-review scores. A clean house helps. It does not write the review.
