The week went by so fast , with walks on the beach, dining at delicious local fresh and new to us restaurants, and having time together to relax and read our books or Kindles. But then the last day came and we read the 'fine print' check out proceedure: we would lose all of our security deposit unless we left it as clean as we found it, unlike a 4 star hotel room.
That meant that on our very expensive rental house Christmas vacation,,,we were ,,,sweeping and mopping the floors,,,,putting all the dishes through the dishwasher and shelving them,,,washing all the bedding sheets for a huge house and making all the beds,,,(is this normal??!!),,,and vacuuming the carpets and rag dusting all the hardwood floors,,,We even Windex-ed all the inside windows for fear of losing any or all of our large security deposit !!
Why have a "property manager" that we talked to as an owner,,,if you are going to piss-off all the renters with a too strict cleaning policy? We are civilized, all college educated, and would not think of trashing or damaging someone else's home we were guests in. But to not leave it undamaged but uncleaned like a 4 star hotel room was a SHOCK!! we definitely will watch out for on our next luxury expensive vacation home rental experience inside the USA.
BEWARE,,,
