Cleaner handoff
Give cleaners a room-by-room checklist so final tasks are clear before the property is marked guest-ready.
Your cleaner says "done." What proof do you actually have before check-in?
For remote and part-time short-term rental hosts, same-day turnover is a narrow handoff window. A message that says "done" is not enough when the next guest checks in at 4:00.
The Guest-Ready Turnover Kit gives you a practical way to confirm the property is cleaned, restocked, photographed from the same angles, checked for issues, and ready for the next guest. It is built for independent hosts who need structure without adding another subscription.

What the checklist helps you confirm
Use the free scorecard as a quick check, or use the full kit as a repeatable operating system across one to five properties.
Photo proof
Ask for the same shots every turnover: entry, kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, floors, fridge, supply areas, and any issue areas.
Supply restocking
Track toilet paper, towels, trash bags, coffee, soap, linens, and other guest-ready supplies before the next stay.
Issue notes
Record damage, missing items, low supplies, leaks, odors, and repair needs before they disappear into messages.
Maintenance log
Track priority, owner, vendor, due date, estimated cost, actual cost, and completion status for repair work.
Vendor contacts
Keep cleaner, plumber, electrician, backup host, and emergency contact details close to the turnover workflow.
Before you mark a turnover guest-ready
A low-friction proof flow should be fast enough for cleaners to finish and clear enough for a remote host to review before the next check-in.
Same photos every time
Use standardized photo angles so you can compare the property from one turnover to the next without asking for a long report.
Restock gaps
Log low supplies while the cleaner is already in the property: paper goods, towels, linens, coffee, soap, trash bags, and guest basics.
Final ready text
Pair the final room photos with one simple status update, such as "Property ready," plus any damage or maintenance notes.

Frequently asked questions
What is a short-term rental turnover checklist?
It is a repeatable checklist for the work between checkout and check-in: cleaning, restocking, final photos, issue notes, repairs, and guest-ready confirmation.
Is this for remote hosts?
Yes. It is especially useful when you are not on site and need a cleaner, helper, or co-host to send consistent proof before the next guest arrives.

No. It is a spreadsheet and PDF template bundle. It is designed for hosts who want a simple operating workflow without paying for full property management software.
