General
Our motto is “Less is More”, so if you see something that may detract from the image, we recommend removing it. We also ask that you lock up any pets or take them for a walk. Ceiling fans should be in the off position and all lights and lamps turned on. Close all toilet lids and open curtains. Pool areas should be free of clutter (including pool robots) and all pool chairs arranged neatly. One to two items per shelf – pack away all “knickknacks”.
