Palm Beach County Airbnb hosts typically start by asking one question: what’s this going to cost per turnover? The answer depends on your unit’s size, how fast the clean needs to happen, and which add-ons you choose.
Sunset Shine’s Airbnb turnover cleaning runs from $139 for a one-bedroom, one-bath unit to $309 for a five-bedroom, three-bath property. Same-day rush requests, linen service, restocking, and coastal sand and salt cleanup are priced separately. Here’s the full breakdown.
Per-Turnover Rate Structure
An Airbnb turnover is a full, inspection-standard reset of a short-term rental between one guest’s checkout and the next check-in. It differs from a standard recurring house clean because it must happen fast, follow the same process every time, and meet a standard that survives a stranger’s first few minutes in the space. Speed and consistency are what you’re paying for.
Pricing by Bedroom and Bathroom Count
| Bedrooms | 1 Bath | 2 Baths | 3 Baths |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom | $139 | $149 | $169 |
| 2 Bedroom | $149 | $159 | $169 |
| 3 Bedroom | $179 | $199 | $219 |
| 4 Bedroom | $199 | $239 | $269 |
| 5 Bedroom | $219 | $279 | $309 |
These are starting per-turnover rates for a standard guest checkout clean. Properties with six or more bedrooms, unusual layouts, or non-standard configurations receive a custom quote rather than a table rate.
Coastal properties: Beachfront and coastal units may add $20 to $30 to cover sand and salt cleanup, since these properties accumulate more grit and require extra floor and surface attention between stays.
What Drives the Cost Up
Four factors move a per-turnover cleaning price from the base rate: unit size, turnaround speed, add-ons, and booking frequency.
Unit Size and Bathroom Count
Bedrooms account for most of the cost difference because additional bedrooms mean more beds to strip and remake, more surfaces to dust, and more square footage to vacuum and mop. Bathroom count matters significantly too. Each additional bathroom requires scrubbing another toilet, shower, and set of fixtures; restocking supplies; and inspecting for missed details. A 3-bedroom, 3-bath unit runs noticeably higher than a 3-bedroom, 1-bath unit ($219 versus $179) for this reason.
Turnaround Time and Same-Day Requests
Short-term rental schedules leave little margin. A guest checks out at 11 a.m., and the next one arrives at 4 p.m. – a tight window to reset the entire unit. Standard turnovers are scheduled with normal lead time. Same-day or rush requests, where a cleaner must get in and out within that narrow gap, carry a $50 rush fee on top of the base rate because they require prioritizing and sometimes rerouting the day’s schedule.
Add-Ons and Special Services
Linen service, restocking, and periodic deep-clean extras like ovens, fridges, and windows are not bundled into the base turnover rate. They’re priced separately so you pay only for what each stay requires.
Recurring Bookings Discount
Hosts who book turnovers regularly – whether multiple units a week or one property with frequent bookings – can ask about a recurring cleaning discount. Consistent scheduling helps us plan crews efficiently, and those savings pass back to multi-unit hosts and property managers.
Pricing by Unit Size
For hosts comparing Airbnb turnover pricing to standard house cleaning, here’s how costs break down by size tier:
- 1 bedroom: $139 to $169 depending on bathroom count. The most common configuration for condo-style rentals near West Palm Beach and Boca Raton.
- 2 bedroom: $149 to $169. A frequent setup for townhouse and duplex rentals.
- 3 bedroom: $179 to $219. Family-sized rentals where bathroom count makes a meaningful difference in labor time.
- 4 bedroom: $199 to $269. Larger vacation homes, often with pools or outdoor living space that may require add-ons.
- 5 bedroom: $219 to $309. Estate-style rentals, frequently coastal, where the sand and salt surcharge should be budgeted.
Studios are priced at the 1-bedroom rate. Properties above 5 bedrooms receive a custom walkthrough quote.
Same-Day and Fast-Turnaround Fees
Same-day turnovers cost an extra $50 on top of the base rate. A standard turnover is scheduled with enough lead time for a cleaner to complete the full checklist without racing a guest’s arrival. A same-day or short-notice request compresses this into a much smaller window, often triggered by a last-minute booking change or a late checkout. That urgency means pulling a cleaner from another job or rerouting the day’s schedule – exactly the disruption the rush fee covers.
If your booking calendar regularly produces tight same-day turns, consider building a standing schedule with buffer time. Avoiding repeated rush fees usually saves more over a month than planning ahead costs.
Add-On Pricing
Add-ons are priced separately so you pay only for what each turnover actually requires:
| Service | Cost |
|---|---|
| Patio or balcony cleaning | $20 |
| Oven deep clean | $45 |
| Fridge deep clean | $35 |
| Interior windows (up to 10) | $50 |
| Laundry | $25 per load |
| Restocking supplies | $15 |
| Post-pet clean | $40 |
| Beach sand removal | $30 |
| Trash removal | $25 |
| Post-event clean | Custom quote |
Linen service is billed separately as a laundry add-on at $25 per load, not included in the base turnover price. A one-bedroom unit with one load of linens and towels adds that single charge to the base rate. Restocking supplies – replacing toiletries, coffee, and paper products – runs $15 per turn. If your rental has a pool deck or outdoor seating, the $20 patio add-on keeps that space guest-ready too.
Example: A 2-bedroom, 2-bath unit at $159 base, plus one load of linens at $25 and restocking at $15, totals $199 for that turn before any rush fee. Add a same-day request and the per-turnover cleaning cost reaches $249.
Airbnb Turnover vs. Standard House Cleaning
Turnover cleaning often costs more than a standard recurring house clean of the same size, and that premium is intentional. Standard house cleaning is priced for an occupied home on a predictable weekly or biweekly schedule. Turnover cleaning must meet a stranger’s first impression every single time, often on a same-day or next-day window set by your booking calendar, with zero tolerance for missed details since no returning resident can flag overlooked work.
| Size | Standard House Cleaning (starting) | Airbnb Turnover Cleaning (starting) |
|---|---|---|
| Studio/1 bed | $120 | $139 |
| 2 bed | $150 | $149–$169 |
| 3 bed | $180 | $179–$219 |
| 4 bed | $220 | $199–$269 |
The premium accounts for guest-checkout inspection standards, faster scheduling flexibility, and same-day turnaround ability when your booking calendar demands it.
