The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) believes COVID-19 is primarily spread through person to person contact. Specifically, that is defined as a healthy person having close personal contact with a person with COVID 19. Social distancing is recommended to avoid virus contamination in this way. Handwashing is recommended to reduce virus transmission.
Safety is a Priority
With all this information in mind, what is Arizona Vacation Home Rentals doing to keep their guests safe and healthy?
- First and foremost, we are staying up to date on the newest information the CDC releases so we can follow all cleaning guidelines and implement all recommended measures for keeping people healthy.
- All of our homes are stand alone domiciles with no shared amenities other than those with community amenities such as pools and hot tubs which guests can choose to avoid (see information from CDC concerning pools and hot tubs below).
- Our homes have contact-less check in and check-out. All homes also have private entrances and do not share hallways or other points of access.
- Check-out directions are provided and enable you to depart without any person to person contact with our staff.
- When possible, homes are left vacant for three days after check-out and no one is allowed inside. According to CDC guidelines, the virus is not able to survive on any surface after three days.
- When possible, homes are cleaned three days prior to guest check-in and no one is allowed back into the home before the guest arrives.
- When the schedule doesn’t allow for at least 3 days between guests, we take extra precautions by disinfecting with CDC recommended products before and after cleaning the home.
- All products used to stock a home, such as paper products, are purchased and left undisturbed for a minimum of three days prior to stocking the home.
- All homes, regardless of how much time there is between guests, are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. All surfaces, door handles, TV remotes and other high use surfaces and areas are double wiped with anti microbiological wipes per CDC guidelines.
- All linens are changed, washed in warm water and dried thoroughly before being added back to kitchens and bedrooms.
- Our cleaners and team members are paid by the hour and have been instructed to spend at least 50% more time at a home to assure all areas are cleaned and disinfected.
- According to the CDC, there is no evidence the virus can be spread through drinking water or using pools or hot tubs. To err on the side of caution, our cleaners are taking extra time to clean the surfaces around our pools and hot tubs.
- Our cleaning teams have been told if they feel unwell they should not report to work. There have been no reported cases of the virus among our teams or any of our suppliers to date.
Please Do Your Part
What can our guests do to support safe and healthy vacation practices?

- Keep your vacation home clean by wiping down counters, vanities and table tops and washing dishes in the dishwasher.
- Follow the social interaction guidelines recommended or required by the state of Arizona and Maricopa County.

Our kitchens are completely stocked with tools and appliances so you can make healthy meals and dine at home.
