Know Before You Book. Know Before You Buy.
An independent grade that tells you exactly what condition a vacation home is really in — not a review, not a marketing claim.
The CVPC grade is an independent verification of a vacation home's condition, cleanliness, and maintenance. Every CVPC‑certified home is professionally inspected using a detailed, 100‑point checklist and re‑inspected annually.
Condition Grade Explained
How well is the home maintained? Each certified property receives a Condition Grade, shown clearly on the listing and certificate.
| Grade | What It Means |
|---|---|
| A — Like New | Looks and feels brand‑new. No visible wear. |
| B — Excellent | Near‑new condition with minimal signs of use. |
| C — Comfortable | Very clean, well‑kept, normal wear. |
| D — Worn | Clean and safe, but clearly dated. |
| F — Rough | Significant wear. Not recommended. |
- Cleanliness
- Safety
- Working systems
- Accurate representation
Unlike star ratings or guest reviews, CVPC grades measure the actual physical condition of the home — not opinions.
