To help avoid extra cleaning charges at the end of your stay:
It is helpful if you wash, dry and fold any beach towels the night before youre departure. Please strip any beds that were used, put all the laundry in the laundry area, and start at least one load unless the house instructions specify differently. If you have time to do more it is much appreciated. Please empty the refrigerator, start the dishwasher, wipe down the counter tops in the kitchen and baths and vacuum up any sand that may have been tracked in during your stay. Lastly, please make sure all the windows are closed.
Trash Removal
Nantucket is a recycling community. Please separate all glass, plastic & paper into the recycling containers and keep household waste in the other. Only clear bio-degradable bags are allowed. The pick-up service will not remove any garbage that is not properly bagged.
Checking-out
By 10:00 am on the day of your departure, your vacation home needs to be empty of your personal items, the trash taken out, and left in the condition in which you found it. Your rental agent will tell you what to do with the keys; they may want you to leave them at the house so they can pick them up when they check the house after your rental.
