A standard short-term rental turnover resets the property between guests: stripping and remaking beds, restocking guest supplies, sanitizing the kitchen and bathrooms, taking out trash, and staging for the next arrival. Pool cleaning ($75–$975 in the Lakeland market), carpet cleaning ($25–$200), and window cleaning ($100–$425) are booked as separate add-ons.
What's covered in the base turnover?
Every turnover resets the property to guest-ready: beds stripped and remade, guest supplies restocked, kitchen and bathrooms sanitized, trash taken out, and the space staged the way it looks in the listing photos before the next arrival.

What counts as an add-on instead of the base service?
Anything beyond resetting the interior — the pool, the carpets, the windows, the exterior — is priced and booked separately. In the Lakeland market: pool cleaning runs $75–$975, carpet cleaning runs $25–$200, window cleaning runs $100–$425, and pressure washing runs $150–$400.
Does every property get the same checklist?
The base scope is consistent — beds, kitchen, bathrooms, trash, staging — but what's actually dirty varies property to property. A studio after a two-night stay and a five-bedroom house after a week-long booking aren't the same amount of work, even though the checklist starts in the same place.
Do you supply the toiletries and coffee restock, or does the host?
Restocking guest consumables is part of the base turnover scope. Exactly what gets restocked depends on what the host keeps stocked at the property, so it's worth confirming per listing rather than assuming a standard kit.
Is laundry included in the base price?
Yes — stripping and remaking beds is part of every standard turnover. Linens that need offsite laundering or replacement beyond a normal reset would fall outside the base scope.
How much extra does a pool add-on cost?
Pool cleaning is priced separately from the base turnover, running $75–$975 in the Lakeland market. That's a wide range because pool size and condition vary as much as the properties themselves.
