Housekeeping, Linens and Maintenance

One of the primary issues of all rental companies is the handling of extra charges.
It doesn't matter whether you rent long term or vacation, you will at sometime or another have to deal with maintenance problems. With vacation/short-term rentals add housekeeping and linens.

This year Southern Coast Vacations and Rentals completely revamped all three areas. This included completely new procedures as well as new vendors. Now unfortunately it will include new pricing. Before you start groaning, please keep in mind that I have not raised my pricing in years.

I have decided to do a series of articles starting next week on each area and share with you exactly what your getting and what is involved. It is my hope that it will enlighten homeowners and help them understand our costs and how it affects our business, our guests and your property.

Ultimately by communicating procedure, price and our goals, It will help SCV and homeowners provide each other with the means needed to improve your guests stays, our business relationship and maintaining your property to a higher standard. Thereby creating additional revenue. Hooray!
