House cleaning in Santa Monica, CA
Condos, bungalows and short-term rentals close to the beach — a different job from a Valley house, and it usually takes fewer hours.
We bill at a flat $88 an hour for a two-person crew, supplies included — no separate price by square footage.Homes here are smaller than inland — a lot of one and two-bedroom condos and bungalows at 900 – 1,600 sq ft — so most standard cleans run about two to three hours, roughly $176 – $264 at that rate. Move-outs typically take longer, for reasons specific to this city, and we will estimate the hours on the call.

What is different about cleaning in Santa Monica
Every area we work in has its own quirks. These are the ones that actually change how we clean here, rather than generic copy with the city name dropped in.
Salt air on ocean-facing glass
Within about a mile of the beach a salt film builds on windows, sliding-door glass and their tracks far faster than it does inland, and it dulls chrome and stainless fixtures. Clients this close to the water generally want interior glass done every visit rather than monthly — we build that into the checklist, and there is no add-on charge for it, it is simply more of the hourly visit.
Rent control makes move-out cleans a documentation job
Santa Monica has some of the strictest rent stabilisation rules in California, and disputes over withheld deposits are routine. Our move-out clean here is a documented one: we work to a written checklist and send room-by-room photographs when we finish, so you have timestamped evidence of the condition you handed the unit back in.
Permit parking dictates the schedule
Most residential streets here are permit-only with posted street-sweeping hours, and a crew circling for twenty minutes is twenty minutes you are paying for at $88/hour. At the estimate we ask where the crew should park and what the restrictions are, then schedule around them.
Short-term rental density near Main Street and Ocean Park
This is one of the highest-density short-term rental pockets we cover, and same-day back-to-back check-ins are normal rather than exceptional here. We runturnoversto fixed check-out/check-in windows for hosts across Ocean Park, Main Street and the numbered streets.
Just outside Santa Monica?Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Marina Del Rey and Venice are all on the same run, so coastal and west-side addresses just outside the city line are usually fine.
Everything we do here
All six of our services are available across Santa Monica at the same $88/hour rate for a two-person crew.

Regularly. Because deposit disputes are common under Santa Monica's rent stabilisation rules, we treat these as documentation jobs — a written checklist and room-by-room photos sent to you when we finish, so you have evidence of the state you left it in.
Salt. Within roughly a mile of the water a salt film settles on glass and in sliding-door tracks much faster than inland, and it also dulls chrome and stainless. If you are that close we would normally put interior glass on every visit rather than monthly.
We ask at the estimate, because most streets here are permit-only with street-sweeping restrictions. If there is a spot in your building, a visitor bay or a specific side of the street that works, tell us and we schedule around it.
Yes — Ocean Park, Main Street and the numbered streets especially. Same-day back-to-back check-ins are standard here and we schedule turnovers inside your check-out to check-in window. SeeAirbnb turnover cleaning.
