How much does vacation rental cleaning cost in West Palm Beach?
A vacation rental turnover in West Palm Beach costs $132 for a studio to $308 for 4+ bedrooms, or less on a regular schedule ($153 weekly for a 2-bedroom). Every turnover includes fresh linens, a kitchen and bathroom reset, restocking from your supplies and a damage and inventory report.

West Palm Beach short-term rental rules, in brief
The rules shape how often you need a cleaner, so they're worth knowing. This is general information, not legal advice. Rules change, so confirm with the City of West Palm Beach before you list.
| Requirement | What it generally means |
|---|---|
| Minimum stay | The city's zoning code defines vacation rentals with a minimum stay; published guides cite seven consecutive days. |
| City business tax receipt | Rental activity is treated as a business in the city. |
| Florida vacation rental license | Issued by the state for transient rentals. |
| Tourist development tax | Collected and remitted to Palm Beach County, in addition to state sales tax. |
| Association rules | Condo and homeowner associations can restrict or ban short-term rentals, even where the city allows them. |
For cleaning, the minimum stay is the important part. Fewer guests means fewer turnovers, but each one follows a full week of living, not a one-night stay.
Turnovers for weekly stays
A turnover after a week is closer to a light deep clean than a quick refresh. Guests cook, run the shower every day and bring sand back from the beach. Here is how it compares:
| Area | After a 2-night stay | After a 7-night stay |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen | Wipe-down, a few dishes | Stovetop grease, full dishwasher, fridge leftovers |
| Bathrooms | Quick refresh | Soap scum and early mildew in the shower |
| Floors | Vacuum and mop | Sand in entries, tracks and under furniture |
| Linens | Beds and towels | Beds, towels, beach towels and throws |
| Trash | One bag | Several bags and recycling |
Saturday turnovers
Weekly stays tend to bunch checkouts onto the same day, often Saturday. Book your recurring turnover day early so it's held for you. If your checkouts are on different days, share your calendar and we'll schedule each one.
Condo vacation rentals
Many West Palm Beach rentals are condos downtown and along the waterfront. Condo turnovers come with their own logistics:
- Association approval. Check your declaration and rules first. Many associations restrict rentals or require guest registration.
- Access. Tell us how we get in: front desk, lockbox, smart lock or fob.
- Parking and elevators. Downtown parking is limited; tell us where vendors park and whether elevators need a reservation.
- Trash rooms. We take trash and recycling to the building's chute or trash room.
- Glass and balconies. Guests leave fingerprints on sliders and sand on balconies. We wipe the glass and tracks and sweep the balcony.
For condos you live in, see our condo and apartment cleaning guide.
What every turnover includes
- Full standard cleaning of every room
- Fresh linens on every bed; dirty linens bagged or laundered
- Towels folded and bathroom supplies restocked from your stock
- Kitchen reset: dishes, surfaces, appliances and leftovers cleared
- Trash and recycling out
- Pillows and throws staged for your listing photos
- A damage and low-inventory report after each turnover
Not included: buying supplies (we can, billed at cost) and off-site laundry. Full details are on our Airbnb and short-term rental cleaning page.
Monthly and seasonal guests
Because of the minimum stay, many West Palm Beach hosts rent by the month, especially in winter when seasonal visitors arrive. Long stays need a different cleaning plan:
- Mid-stay cleans every one or two weeks, which many hosts include in a monthly rate.
- A deep clean between seasons: $225 for a 1-bedroom or $278 for a 2-bedroom.
- A closing clean when the season ends, with the fridge emptied and the unit ready to sit.
See our snowbird home cleaning guide for opening and closing checklists.
A host's year in West Palm Beach

|---|---|---|
| Winter (December to April) | Peak season: seasonal visitors and full weekly calendars | Book recurring turnovers early; keep extra linens |
| Spring | Events and spring visitors, then demand eases | Deep clean after the season ends |
| Summer | Fewer bookings, high humidity | Mildew checks, air-conditioner vents, closed-unit visits |

Host checklist for smooth turnovers
