โจ With all the conversations about Airbnbs new rule changes - we want to take the time to chat about us here at Ocean Transparency and how we perceived this.
First and foremost, we stand by the fact that the OBX sees some of the best guest that the short term rental industry sees year after year. There is always going to be a few bad fish in the sea, but overall we meet smiling faces, happy families, and new generations hear after year. Making it so owners canโt set certain rules wonโt change that majority of the guest take good care of a property during their stay regardless of not a left by the owner.
๐ Ocean Transparency already doesnโt require guest to strip beds as part of their checkout procedures and we pride ourselves on that every bed (yes, even top bunks) are made each and every time!
We only ask guest to take their respective trash out and start the dishwasher. To that point, we also understand checking out on time is crucial to our operations and we take the wins where we can.
๐๐ฝ For us, there is a few ways you can help your housekeeper kick the clean off right! We do our best to accommodate as many early arrivals as possible and itโs more possible when these steps are followed.
๐งฝ Nonetheless, we look forward to servicing your vacation needs in the future and as owners, guests, and cleaning companies. We genuinely are all in this together.
Owners want their homes respected.
Guest want an enjoyable experience.
Cleaning teams want to get in; make these homes shine; and get your vacation kicked off right!
๐๏ธ We look forward to seeing you at the beach!
