Cut and bring flowers to the house! Ixora is an easy one - - some green leaves look good with it!! OK to just place in a water glass near the sink if you can't find the vase... nothing fancy - just fresh!

Arrive at home at least an hour before guests arrive and be careful to remove shoes before entering!

Check refrigerators are cold. Make ICE!! Fill water container if suite has one in fridge.

Set all applicable lockboxes to code that is provided or pre-established. Beach Gate and front door stay the same.

Set out hammocks and outdoor pillows (and patio furniture, if inside). BE SURE furniture is clean, especially the glass top to green table. Clean bottom of glass table top, too.

Make sure TVs are all working right. US channel comes up on TV, Prime & Netflix are on my account.

Make sure Wifi is working right (Google Mesh's all have blue ring)

Hang Hummingbird feeders (be sure they're clean), but do NOT fill with sugar-water.

Run a “Rinse only” cycle of dishwasher if it’s been a few weeks since having guests WITH VINEGAR!

Turn on (one bar) Airwick spray thing in stairwell if Gaming or Beach Suite is part of rental

Only if needed: Open the house up to fresh air, or A/C if needed (81 degrees Beach Suite, 26C Gaming Suite & Penthouse main room only). Try to encourage open windows – as it’s a spectacular arrival and will encourage the same throughout their stay.

Flip all breaker switches on in Gaming Suite

VERIFY & CLEAN IF NEEDED:

Make sure each suite has a broom in the closet, and a dustpan with it, or under the sink.

Verify Pictures are hanging straight on wall and adjust if needed. Be sure drawers are closed, blinds are "even", curtains are pulled back. Make LOOK NICE!

Check propane for BBQ’s and switch out tanks, if necessary. Put on “list” to get other refilled ASAP.

Check BBQs look good - grease traps empty or low.

Verify fridge & stove have electricity, AC is cooling, hot water heats up.

Verify flashlight batteries are still working.

Verify appliances are all working!

Check for gecko poop on pillows ;-(

Check all lights – replace any bulbs that need replacement.

Be sure that there is a mostly-full water bottle (75% or more) in each dispenser, and at least one extra per floor (stored in kitchen cabinets). Extras in the garage.

Gaming Suite: Check tips on darts, replace if needed. Check tips on pool cues, replace if needed. Check chalk on pool table, replace if needed. (in a wood box in Owner's Closet)

Refill dish soap and white hand soap if they are low and Saida hasn't. New sponge by every sink.

Make sure yard is tidy, area directly in front of gate is clean, steps are swept and no garbage on back stairs by beach.

Water plants if it hasn't been raining (Paul's job)

Verify Beach is looking good from Pirate's View to end of Michelle's house (no garbage)

Be sure house is CLEAN! If you need to do some counter wiping, etc., do it! If you need to do actual cleaning, please do it!
