CHECK-IN & CHECK-OUT Check-in is 4:00 PM (or later). Check-out is 11:00 AM (or earlier). Early check-in or late check-out may be available upon request for a fee — a request must be made and approved in advance. Unauthorized late check-outs incur a fee of $50 per half hour. OCCUPANCY & GUESTS Maximum overnight occupancy is 7 guests. Maximum daytime occupancy is 12 total people on the property at any time. No guests past 10 pm. No unregistered guests. The guest who books must be at least 21 years of age and must be the person who stays — no third-party bookings. Local residents (Leon, Wakulla, Gadsden, and Jefferson counties) must disclose local residency prior to booking. NO PARTIES OR EVENTS No parties and no events — this is a strict policy. Violations will result in immediate termination of the reservation without refund. DOGS ONLY — NO CATS We do not allow cats — only dogs. Up to 3 house-trained dogs may be approved per stay at a one-time fee of $65 per dog, per stay. Please disclose all dogs when requesting a booking. Dogs must be kept on a leash when outdoors, be current on flea/tick prevention, stay off the furniture and beds, be cleaned up after in the yard and neighborhood, and be kept from barking so as not to disturb the neighbors. Because your dog is not familiar with the house, please bring a kennel if you plan to leave your dog alone — we charge $40 per door and/or frame that must be repainted due to scratching. While we provide a fenced yard, we cannot guarantee a dog won’t escape, and the host is not responsible for any such incident. Guests assume all liability for their dogs during the stay. SMOKING Smoking or vaping of any kind is permitted in outdoor spaces only, with butts placed in the provided ashtray or disposal canister. A $500 smoke remediation fee applies if the property smells of smoke or marijuana upon departure, or if smoke permeates the interior. PROHIBITED No burning of candles or incense. No fireworks. No firearms or explosives. No illegal drugs or substances. Tents may not be erected, and boats, campers, RVs, and trailers may not be parked on the property, without prior written permission — please follow the parking advisories in your check-in instructions. QUIET HOURS, NOISE MONITORING & CAMERAS Outdoor quiet hours are 9:00 PM to 9:00 AM. Exterior security cameras are in use at the front and side of the property and are always on. There are no cameras inside the home. Interior noise-monitoring devices may be in use — these measure decibel levels only and do not record audio, video, or conversations. Guests agree to remedy high noise levels when alerted. Sustained noise violations, or tampering of any kind with cameras or monitoring devices, will result in immediate termination of the reservation. OUTDOOR GRILL Guests assume all liability for use of the outdoor grill and will supervise any minors under 18 during use. CARE OF THE HOME Guests must immediately report any damage, or any spill that stains or breaks anything. Please do not move or rearrange furniture. Families with infants or small children should baby-proof the home to their own safety standards. WILDLIFE Please understand we are located in Florida. You might see or encounter wildlife in or around the home and neighborhood, including but not limited to mice, raccoons, skunks, opossums, birds, bees, wasps, mosquitoes, snakes, spiders, and ants. These creatures reside in nature and we have no control over them — we do not issue refunds for wildlife encounters during your stay. CANCELLATIONS We understand that travel plans can change unexpectedly, and we truly empathize when they do. As a small, independently run hosting operation, we depend on each confirmed reservation, so we must kindly — but firmly — adhere to our stated cancellation policy. If a cancellation falls outside the policy’s refund window, we are unable to offer a refund for any reason unless we are able to rebook the canceled dates; if we do, we are happy to extend a courtesy refund based on what is recovered. We strongly encourage all guests to purchase travel insurance. Unlike hotels, we reserve the entire property just for you and turn away other guests once your booking is confirmed. Vrbo guests: if a reservation is canceled within the refundable period, third-party processing fees (approximately 4%) are non-refundable and will be deducted from any refund issued. SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS We will do our best to restore any disrupted electric, water, Wi-Fi, or equipment service; however, we do not offer refunds for outages or failures beyond our control. TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY Guests understand that they are transient occupants, not tenants, and that the host is a service provider, not a landlord.
