Looking for an Airbnb Property Manager in Tempe? Start Here

Tempe STR Cleaning is a turnover-cleaning company, not a full-service Airbnb property manager — we don't set pricing, message guests, or run your booking calendar. We handle the physical reset between guests: cleaning, restocking, and flagging damage, for self-managing Tempe hosts and for property managers who subcontract that piece of the job.

Is Tempe STR Cleaning an Airbnb property manager?

No — and it's worth saying plainly, because the search that brought you here mixes two different businesses. A property manager runs the calendar, sets pricing, messages guests, and coordinates repairs, usually for a cut of what the listing earns. Tempe STR Cleaning does one piece of that job: the physical turnover between one guest leaving and the next one checking in.

That distinction matters before you hire either one. A management company without a dependable cleaner on call is going to miss check-in windows. A cleaner without a management company still needs someone booking guests and setting the calendar. Most Tempe hosts end up combining the two — a full-service manager who subcontracts cleaning, or a self-managing host who books everything themselves and lines up a cleaner separately.

What does a property manager handle that a cleaning company doesn't?

Pricing and calendar management, guest messaging before and during a stay, coordinating repairs with a handyman or contractor, and — for some companies — furnishing and photography when a unit is first listed. None of that is what shows up at your door between checkouts. A property manager's fee covers the business side of running the listing; it doesn't put someone in the unit stripping beds and running a mop.

That's also why hosts sometimes end up paying twice without realizing it — once as a management fee, once as a cleaning fee added on top per stay. Ask which model a manager uses before signing anything.

What actually happens during a turnover?

A turnover crew works to the checkout time on the reservation, not a fixed clock, because a late guest checkout compresses everything that follows it. The work is the same regardless of who booked the stay — us, a self-managing host, or a full-service manager's app:

• Strip and remake beds, launder or swap linens
• Restock consumables — coffee, soap, paper goods — to the count the host sets
• Clean kitchen, bathrooms, and common areas to a checklist specific to the unit
• Walk the unit before locking up and flag anything broken, missing, or left behind

Do self-managing Tempe hosts need us, or a full manager?

If you're already handling your own guest messaging and pricing through the Airbnb or Vrbo app, a full-service manager is solving a problem you don't have. What you still need is someone who shows up reliably on turnover day even when you're traveling, sick, or double-booked with your own job. Tempe STR Cleaning covers three service areas around the city for exactly that reason: hosts who want the cleaning half handled without paying a manager's cut for the half they're already doing themselves.

If I already pay a property manager, does this replace them?

No, and most managers wouldn't want it to. Full-service management companies generally don't run an in-house cleaning crew — turnover cleaning is asset-specific, time-critical work that's easier to subcontract to a dedicated crew than to staff directly. Tempe STR Cleaning works as that subcontracted crew for managers who'd rather focus on bookings and guest relations than on scheduling cleaners unit by unit.

If your current manager already has a cleaner they trust, there's no reason to switch. If cleaning quality is the actual complaint — missed turnovers, nothing restocked, nothing flagged after a guest leaves something broken — that's usually the manager's subcontractor relationship to fix first, not a second company to layer on top.

What else comes up on Tempe listings besides the standard turnover?

Pools and hot tubs are common enough on Tempe short-term rentals that they're worth planning for separately from the standard clean. Other local cleaners publish pool cleaning in the $75–$900 range and hot tub service from roughly $75 to $1,000, depending on the size of the equipment and how neglected it's gotten — those are market figures, not a quote, and we price any add-on against the specific unit before it's booked into a turnover.

Does Tempe STR Cleaning message guests or handle check-in?

No. Guest messaging, check-in codes, and booking questions stay with the host or the property manager. We handle the physical turnover only, and flag anything through whatever channel the host or manager already uses.

Can you work with my existing property manager?

Yes. We already clean for both self-managing Tempe hosts and for property managers who subcontract the turnover piece. Coordinating around whatever calendar or software the manager runs is the normal setup, not an exception.

Do you serve my part of Tempe?

Tempe STR Cleaning covers three service areas around the city. If your rental sits inside that coverage, we can add it to your turnover schedule directly.
