Holiday Home Services opens and closes seasonal homes in Naples and on Marco Island. Opening cleans prepare the home before owners arrive in the fall. Closing cleans clean and close up the home in the spring, and home watch visits can continue through the summer.

Opening your home for the season

Tell us your arrival date and we'll have the home cleaned and ready: dust and pollen cleared from months of quiet, beds made, kitchen and baths fresh, and lanai furniture set back out.

  • Top-to-bottom cleaning before you arrive
  • Beds made and towels set out
  • Lanai and outdoor furniture reset
  • Groceries and deliveries can be arranged through our concierge service

Closing your home for the summer

When you head north, we clean the home thoroughly so nothing is left to attract pests or mildew, then close it up to your instructions. Florida's summer humidity is hard on a closed house, so we record the thermostat setting and indoor humidity on the way out.

  • Refrigerator and pantry cleared and cleaned
  • Linens laundered and beds left made or stripped, your choice
  • Trash removed and bins secured
  • Thermostat and humidity recorded

Pair it with home watch

Most owners who close for the summer add weekly or bi-weekly home watch visits. We check for leaks, A/C problems and storm damage, and send a photo report after every visit, so small problems don't become expensive ones.

“The team of professional housekeepers and home watch staff from Holiday Home Watch have exceeded our expectations. We trust them to manage our home during the hectic season when our home has lots of guests and throughout the summer months while we travel.”

Seasonal opening and closing questions

When should I book my opening clean?

Book a few weeks before you arrive, especially for October through December, when many owners return at once.

What does a closing clean include?

A thorough clean of the whole home, a cleared and cleaned refrigerator, trash removed, linens handled your way, and the thermostat and humidity recorded as we close up.

Can you look after the home while I'm away?

Yes. Our home watch service checks the home inside and out on a schedule and sends a GPS time-stamped photo report after every visit.

Do you handle hurricane preparation?

Yes. Storm preparation and post-storm inspections are part of our concierge and home watch services.
