Don’t Let Ocean Air and Guest Turnover Wear Down Your Investment
It’s no secret—coastal homes require extra care. Add in the wear and tear of regular guests, and your maintenance list gets longer fast.
But here’s the good news: with the right preventative strategy, you can stay ahead of costly repairs and enjoy a profitable rental season.
Keep Up with Salt Exposure
That ocean breeze is lovely—but it brings moisture and salt that can damage metal, paint, and electronics. Schedule routine checks on window seals, HVAC filters, and outdoor fixtures. Power wash your exterior once or twice a year to remove build-up.
Schedule Consistent Deep Cleans
Turnover cleanings are great, but your property still needs seasonal deep cleaning. Focus on windows, grout, air vents, and appliances. A clean home wears slower.
Don’t Skip Annual Servicing
Have your roof, plumbing, and major appliances serviced annually—even if everything seems fine. Preventative care is always cheaper than emergency repairs during high season.
Build a Trusted Vendor List
Don’t wait until something breaks to start calling around. Build a relationship with a local handyman, HVAC specialist, and cleaner you can count on. They’ll treat your property like their own.
