Start With a Deep Clean

You might think that your rental property is already clean, but it's important to do a deep clean before the first guest arrives. This means getting into all of the nooks and crannies that you might not have thought to clean before or may have collected dust during the off-season.

Make Sure the Essentials Are Stocked

Before your guests arrive, you'll also want to make sure that the essentials are stocked. This includes things like toilet paper, paper towels, soap, and shampoo. You might also want to leave out a few snacks and drinks for your guests to enjoy upon their arrival.

Store Any Personal Items In a Storage Unit

Of course, you'll want to remove any personal or off-season items from your rental property before the first guest arrives. However, you don't have to get rid of everything — simply store it in a storage unit! This way, you can rest assured knowing that your belongings are safe and sound while still having access to them if you need.
