Check-In/Check-out Times: Our standard check-in/check-out times are as follows: Check-In: 4:00 PM Check-out: 10:00 AM Please understand that a home takes much longer to clean with laundry than a hotel room, and we respect the time of our cleaners immensely. We are happy to accommodate early check-in or check-out if possible and with prior communication at no additional charge. Requests for Early Check-In: Please communicate with your hosts if you will be requesting an early check-in. We always do our best to accommodate, but we cannot confirm until the day of your check-in due to the nature of short-term rentals. Requests for Late Check-out: If you would like to request late check-out, please do so as early as possible so we can confirm our cleaners' schedules. Requests for late check-out less than 24 hours in advance will not be approved. Check-In/Check-out Times Violation Fee: If a guest checks in before or after the check-out time without explicit permission from the hosts, a $50 fee will be incurred per hour they violate the policy.
Extra Cleaning: We know you are on vacation or working away from home, so you do not need to be burdened with massive amounts of cleaning upon check-out. Our check-out terms require that you wash all dishes (or start the dishwasher before departure) and ensure no additional/excess messes are left for our turnover cleaners. Our cleaning crew will do all laundry, so please do not worry about making beds or deep cleaning surfaces/dusting, etc. If any cleaning issues occur during your stay, such as spills, stains, etc., please let your hosts know before your check-out so they can be adequately prepared to address the issues before the arrival of the next guests.

Property Damages: We know that accidents happen; we have all been there. We ask that you please report any damaged or broken items to your hosts before your check-out so they can be adequately prepared to address the issues before the arrival of the next guests. While we are not concerned with compensation for minor items such as a broken dish, we still require this to be reported so we can either replace it for you as our current guest or ensure that the next guests have all the items they need for their stay. We will seek compensation for items valued over $25 or if an abundance of negligence is present. Property Damage Fee: Hosts will have damaged items repaired or replaced at a fair market value. Invoices or estimates will be provided for the repair or replacement, and the total fee will be the responsibility of the registered guest.
