5-Star Setup System

Start Strong with Onboarding Built for Long-Term Success

Launching a vacation rental is more than decorating and handing over keys. Our onboarding process gives your property a complete operational structure — so it’s guest-ready not just for the first stay, but for every stay that follows.
For Passion Stays Rental Management clients, onboarding is included in your setup. For approved self-managing owners, it’s available as a standalone project with optional ongoing oversight.

1. Decluttering & Functional Flow

We remove excess items that slow turnovers and confuse guests, creating a clear, usable layout. Every decision combines your insight with our operational expertise so your home is functional, welcoming, and easy to maintain.

2. Deep Cleaning & Surface Reset

Our licensed cleaning partners perform a full restoration clean — removing years of buildup from kitchens, baths, appliances, glass, and floors. If needed, we arrange carpet, upholstery, and mattress cleaning to eliminate odors and stains.

3. Organized, Staged Spaces

Every cabinet, closet, and storage area is staged and labeled. Guests find exactly what they expect, and cleaners work without guesswork.

4. Amenities Setup — Built-In

We install:

  • Refillable, labeled guest supplies
  • Matching caddies and staging baskets
  • Cleaner-access tools with back-stock
  • “House Use” vs. “Guest Use” signage
  • Restock guide & Do-Not-Use list

This keeps your property stocked, consistent, and easy for teams to maintain.

5. Labeled Bed & Bath Linens

We supply and install:

6. Install the Ops System


Our Vacation Rental Support™ Ops System enforces your layout, policies, and procedures — and gives role-specific guidance to guests, cleaners, and vendors.
Owners get a private “Owner System” with:

  • Appliance details
  • Warranty & insurance documentation
  • Replacement measurements for quick repairs

7. Optional / Included Inspections

Self-managing owners can add inspections to verify the system is followed. Passion Stays management includes this oversight automatically, keeping your property guest-ready every stay.
