Having traveled for much of a 30 years career, when I came to settle here in Sarasota, it was the dream of my husband and I to create the perfect safe travel space.
From design to construction, cleanliness and maintenance were our goals. Solid oak, built in cabinets are sealed with no nooks and crannies. Granite counter-tops are sealed into tile and cover nearly all surfaces of the unit. The tiled floor continues up as kickplate baseboards; floor to ceiling tile and mirror covers 6 critical walls of kitchen and bathroom.
Each cabinet shelf or drawer is covered with liners that are sterilized between guests. Every item, every dish, bowl, fork is sterilized and polished before returning to its specific place.
Before joining AirBnB in 15, we rented for 8 years exclusively to Dattolli cancer outpatients, and perfected our sanitary and healing properties.
We hope you will take a moment to look over the listing, which will give you a sense of the rules we implement to help us maintain sterility. We require guests to leave out each item removed from cabinets, even touched. No item is returned to cabinets without passing through hot dishwasher to sterilize and each appliance or health and beauty aid is hand sterilized. These rules have been in position since the unit began. Tub, toilet, sinks, are cloroxed, hot water scrubbed and polished dry. Every handle, faucet, remote, doorknob, light-switch, broom, vertical blinds, garbage pails, toilet paper holder, dish-rack: every item is scrubbed, anti-bacteriated and polished dry. The drains, the washer-dryer, the mirrors, the ceiling vents. When every item is polished, and sterile in its cabinet, we sanitize floors with an industrial hot mopping and lysol.
With this regime, and our high quality building materials, most folks are shocked to learn the unit is over 14 years old.
Please also notice our reviews which often begin with remarks about our cleanliness.
We come daily to remove trash when you are out, remove used towels which are replaced within a day, and rotate garbage pails. Sterility, PRIVACY and healing rest are our passions as lifelong travelers.
Your pillows are recycled between guests, bathed in the sun and rotated, and held to rest in airy cabinets over three stays. Each pillow is covered with three cases, a zip liner and two pillow cases. Each case is washed twice: outside out, then inside out, then dried outside out, and pressed with hottest iron. We have dozens of pillow cases, a dozen pillows and 6 sets of sheets, all rotated between guests.
The mattress and the box spring are each zipped tight into their covers. We rotate the outer mattress liner between each guest. On a long stay all linens are changed weekly.
We sweep your garden daily when you are out. Between guests your walkway, lawn chairs, table and the building walls are hot scrubbed. After all is scrubbed and polished, we do a final sweep of all handles with lysol.
We are so happy and relieved as the Corona virus passes into history. There were few cases of Corona here in Sarasota. We advise you to continue to follow the no contact rules, use your antiseptics and masks as recommended throughout your shopping. We are confident you will be safe here.
No one is our vicinity has any symptoms or disease. In fact it is a remarkably beautiful, healing spring season.
The beaches and restaurants, all shopping is open often continuing the 6 ft distance restrictions, and please wear masks when required.
We hope you will stay here with confidence that your space is safe and sanitary. We wish you continued safety and health.
