Vacation Rental Inspections

Safety and Guest Readiness Checks —  Verify smoke and CO detector placement and operation, test emergency lighting and exterior pathway illumination, confirm secure deadbolts and window locks, and inspect decks, railings and stairs for stability. 

Appliance and Systems Performance — HVAC, water heater, oven, range, refrigerator, dishwasher, and laundry machines; record temperatures, cycle behavior, and error codes. We flag marginal components and suggest preventative maintenance to avoid mid‑stay failures that lead to refunds and bad reviews.

Plumbing and Water Risk Assessment — Inspect visible supply lines, drains, fixtures, and water heater for leaks, corrosion, and improper venting; test water pressure and drainage speed. We identify high‑risk areas (under sinks, behind appliances) and recommend mitigations like braided hoses, pressure regulators, or automatic shutoff devices.

Electrical and Fire Risk Review — Check outlets, GFCI/AFCI protection in wet areas, visible wiring, and breaker panel labeling; test ground continuity where accessible. We document any overloaded circuits, scorched components, or missing safety devices and provide prioritized remediation steps to reduce fire and liability exposure.

Pool, Spa, and Outdoor Amenity Inspection — Inspect gates, latches, pool decking, pumps, filters, and visible plumbing; verify safety signage and anti‑entrapment covers. For pools and spas we can coordinate chemical testing and recommend service intervals to keep amenities guest‑safe and operational.

Inventory and Turnover Readiness — Verify presence and condition of essential items (linens, kitchenware, electronics, safety kits) against your inventory list; note missing or damaged items and estimate replacement costs. This reduces disputes with cleaners and guests and streamlines turnover logistics.

Cleanliness and Guest Experience Audit — Inspect for cleanliness in high‑touch and hidden areas (under beds, inside vents, behind appliances), check mattress and upholstery condition, and evaluate odor or pest indicators. We provide a guest‑ready checklist and can coordinate specialty cleaning for stains, mold, or smoke remediation.

Pest and Moisture Surveillance — Look for signs of rodents, insects, or moisture intrusion (staining, soft drywall, musty odors); document entry points and recommend exclusion, baiting, or dehumidification strategies. Early action prevents negative guest experiences and costly structural repairs.

Exterior and Grounds Condition — Inspect roofline and material, gutters, exterior lighting, walkways, decking, and outdoor furniture for safety and curb appeal. We note trip hazards, drainage issues, and weather damage that affect guest safety and property ratings.

Smart Home and Access Systems Review — Test smart locks, thermostats, cameras (where permitted), and remote monitoring systems for reliability and correct configuration. We recommend settings and redundancies that protect guest privacy while enabling seamless remote management.

Documentation and Guest‑Ready Report —  Deliver a photo‑rich, time‑stamped report with prioritized repairs, estimated costs, and recommended service partners. Use this report to brief cleaners, agents, or maintenance teams and to support insurance or damage claims.
