✅ This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $50 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional. A link to provide the above info will be sent following your confirmed booking.

To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.

Your guest portal includes advertisements with third-party upgrades that you may want to enhance your stay. These upgrades are optional and include: Early Check-in Request - $20/hr Late Check-out Request - $50 Pet Stay Request - up to $150 depending on your pet's weight

If you have any questions, just message us anytime! Happy to help!

Short Term Rental Agreement The term of this Agreement shall apply to Guest's occupancy of the Rental Property from the check-in date at 4:00 pm to the check-out date at 10:00 am (the "Rental Period"), and to any other dates that may be included as part of the reservation in the event of any modification.

1. Compliance with Rules and Regulations. Guest agrees to comply with all applicable rules, regulations, and policies posted at the Rental Property, or otherwise communicated by Owner. This includes, but is not limited to, maintaining the premises in a clean, safe, and sanitary condition, and ensuring that no unsafe or unsanitary conditions arise. Guest shall not use the Rental Property for any unlawful purposes or activities, nor for any commercial purpose unless expressly authorized by Owner in writing. Breach of these obligations by Guest shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement, , resulting in forfeiture of security deposit and immediate termination of Guest's occupancy without refund of any kind.

2. Occupancy Limitations. The Rental Property shall not be occupied by more persons than the guest count stated on Guest's confirmed reservation, and in no event by more than the property's stated maximum occupancy of 14 persons. This includes all individuals, regardless of age. Base reservation pricing covers up to 10 guests; reservations for 11–14 guests require the additional guest count to be reflected on the booking at the time of reservation, at the applicable additional-guest rate disclosed on the listing. Any guest count beyond what is reflected on the confirmed reservation requires the Owner's prior written approval. Guest agrees that no parties, events, or large gatherings exceeding 14 total occupants will take place at the Rental Property during the term of this Agreement. Violations of these terms will result in immediate eviction and forfeiture of all monies paid.

In addition, no fraternities, school groups, civic groups, or other non-family groups are allowed without prior approval from the Owner. Guests are strictly prohibited from using the property for any commercial activities or hosting any unauthorized events.

The Owner reserves the right to enter the property for inspection purposes if there is reasonable suspicion of occupancy violations or unauthorized gatherings.

3. Cancellation and Refund Policy. This reservation is subject to the vacation rental booking platform Cancellation Policy, and by signing this agreement, you acknowledge and accept the following terms:

Full Refund: Guests may cancel their reservation up to 30 days before check-in for a full refund, including all applicable taxes. No payment will be made to the Host.

50% Refund: If a cancellation is made between 7 and 30 days before check-in, and after the initial 24-hour grace period, guests will receive a 50% refund, including full taxes. The Host will receive payment for 50% of the total nights booked.

No Refund: If a cancellation is made less than 7 days before check-in, the guest will only receive a refund of prorated taxes. The Host will receive payment for 100% of the reserved nights.

4. Payment Terms Guest shall make a full payment for the reservation at the time of booking, with the remaining balance due as specified by Owner prior to the Rental Period. Failure to remit the remaining balance in a timely manner may result in the cancellation of this Agreement at Owner’s sole discretion.

Automatic Credit Card Payment: If applicable, the remaining balance will be automatically charged to the credit card used for the initial payment, as specified by Owner. If the automatic payment fails, Guest must ensure the balance is paid in full promptly, or the reservation may be canceled without refund.

5. Security Deposit. Guest agrees to pay a security deposit of $1000.00 or for a damage waiver coverage, which shall be held by Owner to cover any damages, excessive cleaning fees, or other charges arising during the Rental Period. The security deposit will be held via a credit card authorization or charge prior to guest check-in. Should damages exceed the security deposit, Guest agrees to pay the balance within 3 business days after being notified by Owner. The security deposit will be returned within 3 to 7 days after the end of the Rental Period, provided no damages have occurred beyond normal wear and tear.

Guest authorizes Owner to charge their credit card for any additional costs, including but not limited to damages, extra cleaning charges, or fees for unauthorized early check-in or late check-out fees.

Damages and extraordinary cleaning shall be determined in Host's sole discretion. Guest waives chargeback rights Guest may have under any cardholder agreement, including but not limited to all rights to contest charges permitted under this Agreement. Guest fully authorizes the rental charges to debit/credit card for the reservation from the check-in date to the check-out date for the vacation home rental located at 355 Poolside Pass, Hollister, MO 65672 and agrees to no refund and no disputes will arise from use of this card including no chargebacks.

6. Pet Policy. Pets are not permitted at the Rental Property without prior written consent/approval from the Owner. Unauthorized pets found on the premises will result in immediate eviction and forfeiture of all monies paid. Any authorized pets must be accompanied by an adult and may not be left unattended on the property.

If pet hair or dander is found during the standard post-check-out inspection, Guest will be assessed a $500.00 cleaning fee to cover the additional cleaning and removal of pet-related allergens. This fee will be charged to the credit card on file, and is in addition to any other charges for damage caused by the unauthorized pet.

(A) Pets are welcomed to The Luxx ONLY WITH PRIOR APPROVAL — please message us before or at the time of booking.

Pet Approval & Fees — here's exactly how it works:

Step 1 — Request approval. Message us at the time of booking with your: ◼︎ Pet's name ◼︎ Breed ◼︎ Approximate weight ◼︎ A picture of your pet ◼︎ Proof of current RABIES vaccinations

Step 2 — Update your guest count. Once approved, add your pet to your reservation's guest count on your booking. This automatically applies a one-time $150 pet fee, which covers our extra pet-cleaning cost.

Step 3 — Pet Stay Fee (collected via Happy Guest). Separately, after booking, you'll complete a short pet stay fee through your Happy Guest guest portal. The amount depends on your pet's weight: ◼︎ Under 25 lbs: $50 ◼︎ 26–50 lbs: $75 ◼︎ 51–100 lbs: $100 ◼︎ Over 100 lbs: $150

Both fees are billed separately from your reservation payment — this isn't a double charge, it's two distinct costs: one covers cleaning, the other is your pet's stay fee. This fee does not cover damage to the property or grounds resulting from a pet, including but not limited to: chewing, scratching, digging and unreported house-training accidents.

(B) All local laws and regulations must be followed, including required vaccinations. Please observe leash laws and do not bring your pet to parks and beaches that do not allow animals.

(C) Guests with pets are asked to please respect the comfort and safety of other guests, both during and after your stay. For this reason, we ask that you please follow these guidelines during your time with us:

(D) Maximum Number of Pets: You are welcome to bring up to two (2) pets during your stay. The cleaning fee will cover both pets if bringing 2 pets. The pet stay fee will be PER pet, depending on the pet's weight.

(E) Furniture: To maintain the cleanliness and condition of the furnishings, kindly keep your pets off the couches, beds AND hot tub!

(F) Owner Responsibility: ◼︎ Owners are responsible for their pets at all times, both inside and outside the house. ◼︎ Please ensure your pet is well-behaved and does not disturb other guests or neighbors. ◼︎ Clean up after your pet, both in public areas and in the yard of the vacation property. ◼︎ Do not allow pets on furniture or beds. It is also helpful to bring something (bed, blanket, etc.) on which you know your pet will be comfortable sleeping. Many pets are used to being allowed on furniture and beds at their own home, but this is not allowed in our vacation property. Please bring any crate/kennel or special bedding your pet may enjoy with this in mind. Extra cleaning fees will be charged for furniture, blankets, comforters, etc. that have pet hair left behind. This may include professional steam cleaning; usually resulting in charges above $500. ◼︎ Do not leave your dog unattended for long periods of time. A crate is ideal for those situations in which you must leave. You are responsible for any damages your pet causes. ◼︎ Do not allow your pets in the swimming pool (if applicable) or in the hot tub (if applicable) or in the guest bathrooms. Several local groomers offer pet bathing services and we would be happy to help you coordinate an appointment with one! ◼︎ Additionally, kindly ensure your pet(s) is/are up-to-date on RABIES vaccinations as required by state law, as well as medications, especially flea treatment prior to your stay.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to these guidelines. Enjoy your stay with your beloved pets!
