Check-Out Instructions:

If you are unable to perform departure duties, please contact us to arrange for additional cleaning services (fees vary per home).

  • Remove all food from the refrigerator/freezer and leave the temperature settings on medium. Any unopened, non-perishable food may be brought to our Kitty Hawk office (4820 N. Croatan Hwy, Kitty Hawk, NC) for the local food pantry.
  • Load and start the dishwashers, return dishes to their cabinets, wipe down counters, and perform a light overall cleaning.
  • Remove any excess sand from showers/tubs.
  • If sheets and/or towels were provided, please leave the sheets on the beds and place the towels near the lowest entry door. (Do not remove mattress covers, pillow protectors, blankets, or bedspreads.)
  • Check closets, drawers, and under beds for personal items.
  • Close and lock all windows and doors. Please DO NOT lock the deadbolt. Our cleaners don’t always have a deadbolt key.
  • Turn off all inside and outside lights.
  • Set thermostat between 72° and 74° for AC or 55° for heat.
  • Tidy up outside areas including decks, yard, and pool area, if applicable. Failure to clean up after pets will result in additional charges.

    IF THE HOME IS LEFT IN POOR CONDITION, YOU MAY BE CHARGED FOR ADDITIONAL CLEANING.
