IMPORTANT HOUSE RULES AND INFORMATION

At Fantasy Vacation Rentals, we do everything possible to prepare the home so that your stay is safe, comfortable, and enjoyable. Our team is friendly, helpful, and always available to assist you whenever needed.

Please read the following important information and house rules before your arrival and share them with everyone in your group.

Each vacation home is privately owned and may occasionally be used by the owner and their family. We kindly ask that you respect the property, its furnishings, and its surroundings as if they were your own.

Please remember that staying in a vacation home is different from staying in a hotel. The home includes a limited starter supply of essential items, as described under Starter Kit in the listing. These supplies are intended primarily for the first night of your stay.

For additional groceries, food, toiletries, cleaning products, and personal supplies, we recommend visiting a nearby grocery store or using a grocery delivery app to save time.

The primary guest is responsible for ensuring that everyone in the group, including children and visitors, follows these rules.

PARKING POLICY: VEHICLE TYPES AND LIMITS

1. Standard passenger cars, SUVs, and passenger vans with a maximum capacity of up to 16 passengers are permitted, subject to the rules of the specific community.

2. Vehicles displaying commercial signs, logos, advertising, equipment, or business identification are not permitted.

3. Buses, cargo trucks, moving trucks, recreational vehicles, trailers, jet ski or boat trailers, vehicles being towed, and vehicles used for towing are not permitted.

4. Each community establishes a vehicle limit per home. The limit may vary depending on the property, community, and time of year. If your group will be arriving in multiple vehicles, please contact us in advance so we can confirm the limit that applies to your reservation.

5. Vehicles may need to be registered with the community before arrival. Please provide all requested driver and vehicle information by the established deadline.

6. Always follow posted community parking rules. Do not block sidewalks, pedestrian walkways, fire lanes, gates, neighboring driveways, or trash collection areas.

7. Do not park on grass, landscaping, restricted areas, or in numbered spaces assigned to another property.

8. Electric vehicles may not be charged through a regular household or garage outlet unless the property has an authorized charging station or you have received written permission from Fantasy Vacation Rentals.

Failure to follow the community parking rules may result in the vehicle being towed without notice. Towing charges, parking citations, and community fines are the guest's responsibility.

BATHROOMS

WEEKLY POOL SERVICE

1. The pool company follows a weekly service schedule. The technician may enter through the exterior pool or screened enclosure gate without knocking on the front door.

2. The technician will not need to enter the interior of the home unless a separate service has been arranged.

3. Chemicals may be added directly to the pool. For everyone's safety, the pool must not be used for at least two hours after chemical treatment, or for any longer period directed by the technician.

4. Entering the pool too soon after treatment may cause skin or eye irritation. Please follow all safety instructions provided by the technician or Fantasy Vacation Rentals.

5. Because the pool is outdoors, leaves, pollen, insects, and other natural debris may enter the water between scheduled services. A small amount of natural debris does not necessarily mean the pool was not cleaned or serviced.

6. Guests may not prevent or interfere with scheduled pool service.

BARBECUE GRILL

1. The barbecue may be used only when it has been included in the reservation or authorized by Fantasy Vacation Rentals.

2. Where the barbecue is secured with a chain and padlock, do not cut, break, remove, or damage the lock or chain.

Specialized cleaning or replacement required because of a stain or misuse may be charged to the guest.

AIR CONDITIONING

Setting the temperature too low may cause the system's coil to freeze. This can stop the system from cooling properly and may create water leaks that damage walls, ceilings, or flooring.

Maintenance or property repairs resulting from misuse may be charged to the guest.

1. Lowering the thermostat does not make the air coming from the vents colder. It only causes the system to run for a longer period, which may freeze or damage the equipment.

2. All exterior doors and windows must remain closed whenever the air conditioning is operating.

3. Do not cover or block air vents.

4. Do not tamper with thermostats, breakers, sensors, filters, vents, or air conditioning equipment.
