What are we doing?

Housekeeping Standards
We have implemented stringent cleaning procedures recommended by the CDC,  to keep our guests, owners and cleaners safe.  The virus that causes COVID-19 can be killed if you use the right products. Sunburst Vacation Rentals uses the EPA product list of disinfectant products that can be used against COVID-19, including ready-to-use sprays, concentrates, and wipes. Each product has been shown to be effective against viruses that are harder to kill than viruses like the one that causes COVID-19.

We provide a starter set of paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, laundry pod and dishwasher pod.  All bed linens and towels are provided.  
We do recommend bringing extra toliet tissue, paper towels, and sanitizer for your hands,  in the event supply is short in WNC. 

You can help slow the spread of the virus through social distancing and prevention hygiene, such as frequently washing your hands and wearing face coverings. Everyone has a role in making sure our communities are as safe as possible to remain open.
