What to Expect for your Stay

Stratus Properties operates as an offsite rental management agency. We are not affiliated with any front desks, which allows guests to pay less for their stay. With that in mind, there are certain things to be aware of that will be different than vacationing with a regular hotel's onsite program. Whether you're staying in a beach house or an oceanfront condo, we want you prepared before your stay!

Pros:  

*Price - save money!  

*A lot more space than a hotel room.   

*Full service kitchen  

*Direct relationship with Property Manager, who operates directly with the Owner

Best for people who enjoy saving money, desire a home-away-from-home experience, and have reasonable expectations.  Best for those who do not "sweat the small stuff".  Best for families. Best for those who want to vacation more often and are on a budget.  Best for those who need more space.  Best for those who like to eat in. 

Cons:  

*No Daily maid service, on site maintenance or front desk check in  

*Amenities are specific to the property and sometimes limited

As a private condo management company, we do everything we can to make our guests' experience as enjoyable as possible.  Just like at home, there are things that happen that can affect your stay.  Whether it be heating/AC issues, light bulbs burning out, toilets clogging, and so on. Before your arrival and after our cleaners are complete, we have an independent Inspector go through each unit. Their inspections include everything from checking light bulbs, cleanliness of the condo, batteries in the remotes and so much more.  Even  with this process, things sometimes are not perfect.  We will always rely on our cleaners, inspectors and guests to make us aware of these issues that may arrise so that they can be addressed in a timely manner, and to esure all future guests can have an enjoyable experience.      

Security Deposit - It is only necessary to make us aware of major items like broken furniture, damaged walls, missing TV's etc.  It is not necessary to report small things like smudges on wall, rips in door screens, peeling wall paper, marks on carpet, etc.  These things are considered normal wear and tear and are not considered the responsibility of our guests.  Of our various condos, we have a few that are considered higher end, some in the middle and some that are considered a more economical choice.  Our buildings range from 10-40 yrs old and all of our condos have been recently renovated in some manner.  We encourage you to look closely at the pictures as you can expect the condo to look almost identical to the pictures!
