Renting DVC and housekeeping

[mmouse50]

If this is in the wrong place - please move.

I was thinking of renting a DVC from David's and was wondering, if you choose to have daily housekeeping which cost is it?

Would Cleaning get the villa cleaned as if you were staying in a resort hotel
(beds made and clean towels) Cleaning - $30.00/day

or do you have to pay the cleaning and towel service charges for get the complete package? Cleaning & towel service - $45.00/day

Prices vary depending on the size of room you are renting. You might ask on the DVC boards, this information gets posted there every once in a while. I do not have the current schedule handy. Cleaning includes towel service as far as I know, so I don't know what those prices you have mean - $30 and $45.

Ok - I will try over there - it was for a studio

Thanks

In over 12 years as a DVC member, I've never requested additional housekeeping but I've mostly stayed in 1 bedrooms so I can wash towels if needed. You may want to look at the trash & towel service, it's $15 vs $30 for a full cleaning.

We rented through a member and stayed DVC and I thought I would mind not having the daily cleaning and we didn't. We had the trash taken out on day 4 as per normal and it was no big deal. You can always empty your trash in trash containers yourself. I wouldn't pay $45/day for it.

If you are only getting a cleaning for the clean towels it may be cheaper to just order additonal towel packs. $6 I believe.
