Guests must be over 25 to book

1. This is a quiet property. Noise easily carries and our neighbors are very sensitive. Quiet hours begin at 8 pm. Please be mindful when sitting on the decks and keep conversation levels low after 8 pm.
2. Smoking: Please, absolutely no smoking of any kind inside or anywhere on the property.
3. Guest count: All guests (of all ages) must be registered in advance. No more than 6 overnight guests are allowed at the house. People other than those in the Guest party set forth above may not stay overnight in the property. Any other person in the property is the sole responsibility of Guest. No more than 8 guests (6 staying the night and 2 visitors). Any visitors must depart the premises no later than 10 pm.
4. No large groups: No more than 8 individuals in the house at one time. Due to the unique nature of building the house was not built to support large groups. More than 8 individuals in the house will result in forfeiture of the damage deposit.
5. No parties or loud music: In addition to “quiet hours” enforced by Santa Cruz county (8PM – 8AM), please be respectful to our neighbors and the peacefulness of the space throughout the day. Please stay off any private driveways or private property. Please do not play amplified music outside at any time. Unfortunately, because of the quiet nature of the neighborhood, parties are also prohibited. Neighborhood disturbances such as parties or outside amplified music will result in immediate eviction and forfeiture of damage deposit.
6. Limited liability: Homeowner is not responsible for the loss of personal belongings or valuables of the guest. By accepting this reservation, it is agreed that all guests are expressly assuming the risk of any harm arising from their use of the premises or others whom they invite to use the premise.
7. Common sense: Keep the property and all furnishings in good order. In general, if you use it, drop it or spill it, take care of it, pick it up, clean it up and put it away. Only use appliances for their intended uses
8. Pets: Pets are allowed on a case by case basis. They must be under 15 lbs and housebroken and taking a flea/tick preventative. We do not allow pets on the beds or furniture. Failure to follow these rules will result in the forfeit of your deposit. There is a $100 non-refundable pet fee.
9. Parking: Vehicles are to be parked in the driveway only. The driveway can fit three vehicles. Parking on the road is not permitted and neighbors will complain. Any illegally parked cars are subject to towing; applicable fines/towing fees are the sole responsibility of the vehicle owner.
10. Housekeeping and trash: There is no daily housekeeping service. While linens and bath towels are included in the unit, daily maid service is not included in the rental rate. Please sort and dispose of all trash outside in the sturdy “waste management” containers. Do not let trash accumulate outside of these containers.
11. Septic: The property is on a septic system. The septic system is very effective; however, it will clog up if improper material is flushed. DO NOT FLUSH anything other than toilet paper. No feminine products should be flushed at any time. If it is found that feminine products have been flushed and clog the septic system, you could be charged damages of up to $2,000.
12. Utilities: We ask that one month rentals pay for any utility cost over $500. This shouldn't happen, unless you do something unusual like leave the water running for days at a time (water is precious here). Santa Cruz County is under drought conditions; please use water wisely.
13. No illegal behavior: any illegal behavior (for example, drug use) is prohibited on this premises. Illegal behavior is considered a violation of this contract.
14. Please do not tamper, in any way, with the outside cameras, or this may result in forfeiture of damage deposit. These security cameras are always on and recording. They are for the safety of the guest and the property.
