Some rental agencies will provide cleaning service and linens for a fee if you are not particularly inclined toward domestic concerns on your getaway. If you don't clean up and haven't made arrangements for maid service, your deposit will be applied toward this work. This charge is determined by individual rental agencies according to the size of the rental property. If cleaning services aren't part of your rental arrangement, cleaning supplies are usually already in the house because a prior vacationer bought them and left them there. It's a nice gesture on your part to do the same, even if current supplies seem ample, and it's essential for you to provide cleaning supplies if none have been left for you.
Owners supply vacuum cleaners, mops and brooms.
You are responsible for putting out the garbage, just like at home. Some beach towns have recycling programs, and you'll be instructed on how to participate in the event that yours does. Grilling is prohibited on all area beaches and on the decks or porches of rental properties. Most rental homes have telephones, and you're on your honor not to use them in any way for which the owners would be charged. Some agencies place a long distance block on the phone or deduct a fee plus the phone charge from your security deposit for long-distance calls billed to the owner.
