First off, apologies for such a long list of strict rules and thank you for your understanding that these rules must exist due to prior experiences with a few bad guests. In other words, we usually don’t apply these rules as strictly as they sound but we must maintain the right to protect the property.

• LIABILITY: All guests agree that the owner, property manager, and all property staff shall not be liable for any damage or any injury to: any guests, to any other person, or to any property occurring anywhere on the property premises. All guests agree to hold the owner and all property staff harmless for any claims for damage, no matter how caused including but not limited to vandalism, theft, or any property malfunctions.
• NO SMOKING. There is a $300 penalty for smoking inside. You may smoke responsibly in the yard.
• No events, parties, or large gatherings! Small celebrations are okay, but DO NOT exceed property capacity!
• Must obey all federal, state, and local laws including but not limited to underage drinking!
• YARD: Additional fees will apply if we find cigarette butts, bottle caps, pet poop, or other trash in the yard!

• GAMES: After using any games, clean them up and put them back to where you found them.

Anything other than towels, beach chairs, ice chests, boogie boards, and outdoor games are NOT to be taken out of the property (not to the beach nor other properties).

• PETS: Each pet requires an additional non-refundable deposit that must be PAID PRIOR TO CHECK-IN. Pets must be well trained and are not allowed on any furniture (beds, couches, etc.). Further, you must clean up after your pets. We STRICTLY FORBID any pets, regardless of the type or breed, that any owner knows, or should have known, has attacked, bitten, or otherwise caused ANY injury to ANY person.
• ROOF: Guests are strictly not allowed on the roof. A $1,500 fine will apply to any guest who climbs on roof.
• Immediate eviction without refund will occur if there is: any violation of the house rules; excessive noise; excessive trash; or any actions that create a nuisance to the community
• We cannot predict construction plans in the area and therefore there will be no refund considered for any nearby construction nuisances.
• Even the best equipment, appliances, HVACs, internet, TVs, etc. occasionally malfunction. We guarantee to do our best to correct any issues ASAP but any failure does not entitle the guest to a refund.
• The cleaner takes before and after photos and any missing or broken items are charged at cost + greater of: $25 or 20% of the item cost, if unreported. If missing or broken items are reported, the guest will only be charged at item cost or possibly even have the cost waived. Please report any damages that occur to the guest contact.
• This is an Innkeeper agreement meaning all guests must declare: 1) they have a separate primary home address, 2) their intention of staying is for transient purposes only, and 3) they will not establish landlord/tenant relations but instead only an owner/guest relationship.
