Why Turnovers Are the Hidden Bottleneck in Short-Term Rentals

The Turnover Hustle: Pressure Between Every Guest

If you’ve ever managed a short-term rental – or worked on a cleaning crew supporting them – you know the high-stakes hustle that happens between guests. Checkout in the morning, check-in by afternoon.

In those few tight hours, everything has to be cleaned, reset, stocked, and perfect. Cleaning teams are balancing speed with precision; property managers are juggling logistics, schedules, last-minute fixes, and inventory. And the reality? One missed task can turn into a bad review, a refund request, or a frustrated guest.

What It Takes to Keep Turnovers Running Smoothly

The pressure is real, and the time to get it right is minimal. That’s why the best operators rely on proven systems to keep turnovers smooth and up to standard. Think clear, detailed checklists. Pre-scheduled cleaning jobs, locked in well in advance. Smarter routing so cleaners aren’t wasting time criss-crossing town. And solid communication – so if something changes last minute, everyone’s in the loop.

It’s a lot of moving pieces. Cleaners are following task lists, sending photos, double-checking essentials. Managers are tracking all of it, often across multiple properties, making sure nothing slips through. It works – until it doesn’t.
