Prior to Check-Out, if you used the grill during your stay, clean it as found. Failure to do so will
result in a $50 fee.
After using the grill, shut off the propane tank to avoid danger to you and your guest. Leaving
the propane tank on after use is a potential fire hazard. Cover the grill immediately after it has
cooled from use.
Prior to Check-Out, the cleaners prefer that you do not strip the beds, but rather, please start a
load of towels in the clothes washer, leave remaining dirty towels in the laundry room.

detergent and start the dishwasher.

There are several security devices attached to the property for your protection. There is a full
house security system that can be armed when occupying and leaving the home. There is a “Stay and Away” setting. Your unique code will lock and unlock the front door and arm and disarm the security system. There is a sound (decibel) measurement system that measures the decibels of sound at the property. This helps to make sure there are no large parties or gatherings or noise levels that could be offensive to the neighbors and cause unnecessary calls to the police. There also are three hardwired with battery backup cameras at the property. One at the front door, one covering the front yard and driveway and one outside the pool area covering the back walkway and the dock. These are placed for insurance and security purposes and while no-one maybe watching them, they do have motion lights that come on at night and all recordings are stored for playback capabilities if a situation that warrants that need to arise. The cameras do not have the capability of looking inside the home and record only outside areas. Tampering with or disabling any of the security devices, smoke detectors, or internet router will result in immediate termination of your booking without refund.
All guests must comply with any and all State, County and City laws and ordinances.
Please advise your guests that any items other than toilet paper or what comes out of your body
