The season kick-off checklist for Bungalow De Beuk

Use these focused checks to prepare Bungalow De Beuk for smooth, on-time guest arrivals.

1) Entrance and living room

• Clean and dust all high-touch areas (door handles, switches, remote controls) and horizontal surfaces.
• Verify underfloor heating controls operate correctly on the ground floor; confirm a comfortable baseline temperature setting for arrivals.
• Check the condition of the renewed flooring for scuffs or seasonal wear; address protective pads under chairs as needed.
• Test lighting and replace bulbs; ensure ambient and task lighting options work in the seating and dining zones.
• Confirm that arrival essentials (e.g., welcome info and contact details) are visible and easy to find.

2) Kitchen readiness

• Run a function check on the dishwasher and the combi microwave; clean door seals and wipe control panels.
• Inspect cupboards and drawers for a complete, tidy inventory appropriate for 6 guests; align counts with the inventory list.
• Wipe and sanitize worktops, splashbacks, sink and taps; clean the fridge and freezer compartments.
• Confirm extractor and ventilation work quietly and effectively.
• Ensure the bin area is clean and lined; remove any out-of-date items.

3) Bedrooms (4 total; 1 on the ground floor)

• Air each room and dust surfaces, headboards and lamps; vacuum under beds.
• Check mattresses and bed bases; rotate if needed for even wear.
• Verify each room has adequate storage space cleared for guests.
• Ensure blackout options or curtains open/close smoothly.

4) Bathroom and WC

• Polish taps, shower glass and tiles; verify good water pressure and temperature.
• Check seals, grout and drainage for proper flow and a dry finish after use.
• Confirm ventilation runs smoothly and quietly.
• Restock bathroom basics as per your standard offering; leave the space dry, fresh and streak-free.

5) Laundry corner (upper floor)

• Run a maintenance cycle on the washing machine (drum clean) and clear filters where applicable.
• Clean the tumble dryer lint filter and inspect the vent path.
• Provide clear, concise instructions for both appliances so guests can use them confidently.

6) Terrace and garden on the south side

• Clean the terrace surface and outdoor furniture; check stability and wipe down armrests and tabletops.
• Test the sun awning’s extension/retraction; inspect the fabric for wear or debris.
• Tidy borders and pathways; ensure safe, non-slip access between the house, terrace and garden.
• Check gates and latches in the enclosed garden for smooth operation.

7) Private playground (artificial grass) and child-friendly checks

• Inspect the artificial grass for cleanliness and evenness; remove twigs and debris.
• Verify play elements are secure and shaded areas remain comfortable during warmer hours.
• Walk all routes from the bungalow to the play area to confirm clear, trip-free paths.
• Double-check fencing or boundaries around the garden to support a child- and pet-friendly setup.

8) Connectivity and information

• Test the private WiFi connection and ensure the network name and access details are easy to find.
• Put simple, step-by-step guides for core appliances (heating controls, combi microwave, dishwasher) in a visible spot.
• Confirm contact and after-hours information are clearly displayed for quick assistance.

9) Final presentation pass

• Open windows briefly to refresh air, then set a comfortable temperature.
• Do a final walk-through from a guest’s perspective—from parking to the front door, into the living areas and out to the terrace—to catch small details (fingerprints on glass, a loose chair glide, a missing hanger) before check-in.
