Short-term rentals in Annapolis and along the Chesapeake shore stay busy, especially during summer, the boat shows, and Naval Academy weekends. Back-to-back bookings leave little room for mistakes, and cleanliness is the review category guests notice first.
Keep two full sets of linens and towels per bed and bathroom. That way, the turnover isn't waiting on a washing machine, and a stain doesn't hold up the next check-in.
Use a written turnover checklist that matches your listing photos. If the photos show folded towels on the bed and a stocked coffee bar, the guest expects exactly that. A checklist keeps every turnover consistent no matter who does it.
Plan for sand and salt. Bayside rentals collect sand in entryways and on floors, and salt film on sliding doors and windows. Add these to the checklist so they're handled every time, not just when a guest complains.
Ask for a report after each turnover. Our Airbnb cleaning includes a quick update with photos of anything broken, missing, or running low, so you can fix it before the next guest arrives.
