What We Inspect on Every Departure

To maintain your property’s standards, our team follows a structured inspection checklist that covers every room after each guest departure. We inspect with precision — not guesswork — verifying cleanliness, condition, and functional readiness throughout the home. Each inspection confirms the property meets our operational benchmarks and is truly guest-ready, creating a clear, documented starting point for the next arrival.

This disciplined approach protects your reputation and keeps the property running smoothly.

Why Guest Departure Procedures Matter

Before our inspection takes place, guests play an important role in protecting your property and supporting smooth turnovers. Our Guest Departure Procedures  clearly outline expectations for departing guests — from linen handling to securing the home — helping reduce preventable issues before cleaning and inspection occur.

When guest expectations, cleaning execution, and inspection standards work together, properties remain consistent, protected, and professionally maintained.

We do more than look at a bed — we verify the entire bedroom has been properly reset to meet guest expectations for comfort, cleanliness, and presentation. Each inspection confirms linens have been refreshed, surfaces properly addressed, and guest materials correctly placed. This is where great reviews begin — and where your standards are protected.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Destin Housekeeping Services no longer provides routine cleaning services. We specialize in post-departure inspections and quality verification, ensuring cleaning has been completed properly and your property meets five-star standards before the next arrival.

Inspections are conducted after guest departure and after cleaning has been completed by the owner’s chosen cleaner or service provider. Our role is to verify results — not perform the cleaning itself.

Each inspection includes a room-by-room review of cleanliness, presentation, condition, linen setup, surface sanitation, supply placement, and overall guest readiness. Findings are documented to provide owners with clarity and accountability.

Superior Linen Care

We do not inspect linens washed onsite or in uncontrolled environments. As part of our inspection process, we verify that linens used in the property have been professionally laundered offsite in a controlled environment where hygiene, consistency, and sanitation standards can be maintained.

Our inspections confirm that linen laundering methods avoid harsh heat and damaging chemicals. We look for the use of bleach-safe, hypoallergenic detergents and appropriate whitening practices that protect both linens and guests, without causing fabric breakdown or residue.

During each inspection, linens are checked for cleanliness, brightness, wear, staining, and overall presentation. This ensures linens remain fresh, comfortable, and visually consistent — supporting a five-star guest experience while protecting the owner’s linen investment.

Streamlined Linen Management

As part of our inspection process, we verify that linens are packed and staged by room, not mixed across spaces or stuffed into oversized bags. This ensures cleanliness, organization, and a smooth, efficient reset for each bedroom.

Inspections confirm linens are handled and staged in a way that prevents wrinkling, cross-handling, or unnecessary rework. Each room should receive exactly what it needs — nothing extra, nothing missing — for a clean, professional presentation.


We verify that the same layout, organization, and visual staging standards are maintained consistently from turnover to turnover. Guests should walk into a home that matches the listing photos — clean, prepared, and welcoming — every time.

Each inspection provides clarity, accountability, and peace of mind for owners who want their property protected between stays.
