Please respect our home and its contents as we work hard to provide a nice environment for our guests to enjoy. Excessive Cleaning – Our cleaning fee is the cleaning company’s charge for cleaning based on our average courteous guests, of which most are. If the cleaning team discovers an unreasonable mess post-check out, there will be an additional $100 charge to compensate for the additional cleaning required. Breakages & Damage – We expect things to get broken occasionally and rarely charge for (e.g. cups, glasses, etc.). However, please let us know so that we may replace them for our next guests. Quick action on soft furnishings can prevent the need to replace items. There is a magnet on the refrigerator with a helpful stain removal guide in case anything spills on soft furnishings. Please let us know after you pretreat it as we may be able to prevent staining and would at least welcome the chance to replace any damaged items before our next guests (if not immediately). We reserve the right to charge for any significant damage but guarantee to be reasonable about it. Again, the earlier we know, the better as if following guests are affected, we may need to compensate them. Think of it this way - put yourself in the shoes of the next guest. Late check-outs are not allowed unless authorized. If late check-out is authorized in advance, fee is $25. A same day authorized late check-out is $50. Unauthorized late check-outs will incur charges up to and including the cost of an additional night’s stay. Late check-outs are not guaranteed and can only be exercised if authorized in writing. The guest will be charged $50 for each hour that the property is occupied after the agreed check-out time of the lease up to two (2) hours. If the guest holds possession of our property more than two (2) hours, the guest will be charged for an additional day at that day’s current market rate without discounts. This does not award the additional day of stay. Please be courteous of housekeeping staff that need adequate time to prepare for incoming guests. Guest agrees to hold us harmless of any injuries or claims caused by or contributed to by accidents, allergic reactions, or any other casualties or health problems which may arise during tenancy or as a result of said tenancy. Safety precautions undertaken by us are not foolproof, and guest shall hold us harmless from all claims to person or property arising out of the use and occupancy of the premises and it's amenities. No Smoking – There is no smoking OF ANY KIND anywhere in the house. Violation of the non-smoking rule will be cause for immediate removal of guests with no refund. The guest agrees to restrict any smoking to the outdoors. Please do not put butts in flower pots, in the yard, or (yikes) on our beaches! Violation of the non-smoking rule will be cause for charges upwards of $250 per day of stay to mitigate the damage caused to the property from the smoke and to return the property to safe and acceptable conditions so as not to negatively affect future reservations. Guest will also have immediate termination of the remaining portion of their reservation and no refund will be given either for the remaining stay or the portion of nights already stayed of the reservation. No parties or events - Until further notice, all disruptive parties and events are prohibited, regardless of size. While we believe most guests are respectful, any reported nuisance that disturbs the surrounding neighborhood is grounds for immediate termination of the reservation.
