Turnovers: what it involves
A turnover is the clean between one guest leaving and the next arriving. On St. Pete Beach that window is often a few hours on a Saturday, and the unit has to look like nobody has ever stayed in it: beds made tight, towels folded, no hair in the shower, no sand in the slider track.
A good turnover is a checklist, not a guess. The crew works room by room, strips and remakes beds, sanitizes baths and the kitchen, empties every trash can, runs the dishwasher, wipes balcony furniture, and checks for anything broken, stained or missing before they lock up.
What a St. Pete Beach turnover covers
- Strip and remake every bed, launder or swap linens and towels
- Sanitize bathrooms, kitchen counters, sink and appliances
- Vacuum and mop, including sand along baseboards and slider tracks
- Restock toilet paper, soap, coffee, trash bags and your guest basics
- Wipe the balcony or lanai table and chairs and sweep the deck
- Photos of the finished unit plus anything damaged or left behind

- Share your calendarSend your Airbnb or Vrbo iCal link or booking list so every checkout lands on the schedule.
- Set your checklistAgree on linens, supplies, where the lockbox is and how you want beds staged.
- Clean and resetThe crew arrives after checkout and works the unit top to bottom.
- Restock and reportSupplies topped up, photos sent, damage flagged before the next guest.
- Ready for check-inDoors locked and the unit staged for the next arrival.
Tip: keep a locked owner's closet with spare linens and supplies in the unit. It cuts turnover time and keeps the cleaning fee steady.
What turnovers cost
HomeGuide's national figures put most turnover cleans at $75 to $250, with studios and 1-bedrooms at $50 to $100 and 2-bedrooms at $100 to $150. Gulf-front units with several bedrooms, laundry on site and same-day windows tend to sit at the higher end.

Vacation Rental Cleaning questions
Can you do same-day turnovers on Saturdays?
Yes. Most St. Pete Beach rentals turn on Saturday or Sunday, and same-day turnovers between an 10 or 11 a.m. checkout and a 3 or 4 p.m. check-in are the core of this service.
Do you work with Airbnb and Vrbo calendars?
Yes. Share the calendar link once and checkouts are scheduled from it, so you don't have to text a cleaner after every booking.
What happens if a guest damages something?
The crew photographs it and sends the photos right away, so you have what you need for a damage claim before the next guest arrives.
