The high elevation, breeze, decks, and pool – while all are features that make this vacation rental unique –expose the occupants to some risks. For this reason, these villa rules apply to all occupants and need to be followed for safety.

GENERAL • Absolutely no smoking or vaping indoors. • Tenants must drop off trash at Cotton Valley Convenience Center. Tenants who leave trash at the villa will be charged an additional fee of $100. • Entry to the pool utility room is not allowed - the pool pump works on a timer and changing the pool pump settings should only be done by a professional.

DOORS • All doors but especially the east-facing doors to the kitchen and to the TV room must be opened with caution especially when it’s windy and should never be left open without being latched open (latches are on the bottom/outside of each door). Gusts of wind can slam unsecured doors shut in ways that could lead to serious injury. • During high winds, a wind tunnel can form in the villa when the east door of the TV room is open on the outside that slams the inside door between the TV room (bedroom 4) and the kitchen shut. For this reason, when the wind is gusting the door between the TV room (bedroom 4) and the kitchen should remain shut.

DECKS • All decks are slippery when wet and guests should walk on decks with shoes or flip-flops to avoid slipping. No running on decks. • No unsupervised children under 15 years old on the east deck (i.e. pool deck). • No leaning over or putting excessive weight on railings throughout the villa decks or balconies. Special caution is needed on the upper-level deck because the railing is made from wood rather than metal. • The upper-level deck has access to the roof via a west-facing bench. No climbing on the roof under any circumstances. And no unsupervised children under 15 years old on the upper-level deck.

POOL • The pool is an infinity pool with a view of the ocean and the hills on the East end of St. Croix. It therefore has a low boundary wall that can be dangerous for children or adults who do not use the pool with caution. • All guests must use the pool carefully and not lean over the edge of the infinity pool. • Absolutely no roughhousing in the pool. • Children under 15 must be supervised at all times in the pool and small children should always be within arm's length and not allowed to play near the ledge of the pool. • Absolutely no glass (e.g. cups, wine glasses, beer bottles, plates, etc.) should be used in or around the pool. Plastic cups and wine glasses are provided so that you can enjoy beverages in the pool without the risk of broken glass.

SEPTIC TANK PROTECTION • No disposal of anything but toilet paper in the toilet, as the villa is on a septic system. • Absolutely no oil or coffee grounds in sink disposal to protect the septic system. The use of sink disposal should be limited. • The rocks on top of the septic tank (located in the yard on the North side of the villa near the Flamboyant tree) should not be disturbed.
