1. Handles Monthly Pest Control — Indoor & Outdoor
Sunny Florida, you’re beautiful, breezy…and have a thriving warm climate fit for bugs of all shapes and sizes. It’s inevitable: insects and small animals will try to invade your vacation home, which is a top complaint for guests. But you can ease the struggle and help prevent poor reviews with basic indoor and outdoor pest control every month — #1 on our list of advantages with Florida CFY!
2. Provides Bedbug Prevention + Protected Income Loss
Speaking of bugs, there’s a particular sort no one likes to talk about in the accommodations industry: bedbugs. Not only do bedbugs pose a threat to your Gulf Coast rental, but they also mean frustrated guests, terrible reviews, and mandated refunds…and that’s not even including the hassle of ridding your property of these awful pests while losing potential rental nights. In other words, bedbugs cost YOU big time!
How can the Florida CFY Advantage Plan help? It covers regular bedbug preventative treatment as well as biannual K-9 property inspections. Plus, unlike most vacation rental companies, we provide 100% loss of rental income in the event bedbugs persist and cause issues — yes, you read that right! If anything, #2 on our list of benefits offers serious peace of mind.
Note: this plan does not include the cost of removal or replacement of walls, floors, or other affected structures.
3. Furnishes Basic Maintenance Supplies
Uh-oh! Looks like the batteries just died in the remote and your guests can’t use the big screen TV when they’ve been looking forward to the big game all day. What’s that? The light just went out over the stove in the kitchen — yikes! Ugh, the foosball table doesn’t have a ball to play with…and it’s all the kids could talk about on the 8-hour car ride to your beach house. How can you prevent these issues? One guess is all you’ll need!
With the Florida CFY Advantage Plan, a variety of basic maintenance supplies are covered and taken care of for you. Batteries are provided, light bulbs are stocked, and game table pieces are replaced as needed to keep guests happy — because sometimes, it really is the little things that make or break an experience. And that’s not all! Check out what else is covered below.
What’s Provided
- Light bulbs
- Batteries
- HVAC filters
- Hot tub chemicals
- Game table pieces
- Dart tips
- And MORE!
Note: specialty bulbs (LED, halogen, glass flood, etc.) and specialty batteries (alarm) are not included.
4. Installs & Manages a Smart Lock for YOU
Worried about check-in taking too much time or guests lingering past checkout? Just want the entire check-in and checkout process to run more smoothly for your guests? Installing a data-linked smart lock — with a cellular gateway for remote management — on the front door of your Florida vacation rental is a surefire way to help prevent arrival and departure issues. Not to mention, this state-of-the-art technology lets you know when and how long guests are at your property and saves your guests valuable vacation time (no stopping at an office or managing keys), thus making your property even more desirable!
So, the Florida CFY Advantage Plan takes care of the installation, maintenance, and management of a state-of-the-art smart lock for YOU! It can even tell us when the batteries need to be replaced so we can ensure your guests have a well-functioning lock for added security plus easy comings and goings throughout their stay.
Note: the smart lock belongs to Florida CFY, so leaving our program means your original deadbolt/keypad (stored for you at no extra charge) will be reinstalled for you.
5. Offers Swimming Pool Care
If your Florida vacation rental property has a swimming pool outside or inside, the Florida CFY Advantage Plan offers even more for you! Along with providing and managing pool towel inventory and installing another smart lock on the door leading to the pool area, we schedule and maintain regular pool inspections plus send out pool service twice per week!
As a top-notch amenity to draw in guests, we know how important it is to make sure your swimming pool is clean and functioning properly at all times. And we also know how much time, effort, and money is involved, which is why we added this bonus benefit for pool owners.
