👉 We want you to have a comfortable and enjoyable stay, and ask that you please respect our home and neighborhood. Any violation of our house rules or manual will result in immediate termination of your booking without refund. Please review the manual prior to arrival for a smooth check-in process.
❄️ A/C Policy:
To help keep the home comfortable and protect the A/C system from damage, please keep the thermostat between 70°F and 76°F. Please do not set the temperature below 68°F, as this may cause the unit to freeze and lead to damage. Thank you for your cooperation.
💡 Energy Use & Eco-Friendly Practices:
To help us keep costs down and pass those savings on to our guests, we kindly ask that you turn off lights and raise the thermostat when not in use or when leaving the home. We also encourage guests to conserve water where possible. Thank you for helping us care for the home and be kind to the planet.
🐾 Pet Policy
Pets are permitted only with prior host approval, and a pet cleaning fee will apply. If you plan to bring a pet, please add them to your reservation in advance so they can be approved and our cleaning team can prepare accordingly, as a deep cleaning is scheduled after any pet stay to ensure the property is properly sanitized for the next guest.
Pets are not allowed on beds, couches, or furniture unless otherwise noted for that specific property. If you leave the home and cannot guarantee your dog will stay off the furniture, we kindly ask that you crate them or bring your own protective cover for the couch. If there is evidence of pets on furniture, an additional fee may apply, as special equipment may be needed for cleaning.
Guests are responsible for cleaning up after their pets right away, both inside and outside, including the front yard, backyard, and during neighborhood walks. If pet waste is found on the property after checkout, an additional cleaning fee may apply.
Any pet waste left behind, damage caused by a pet, or violation of the pet policy may result in additional cleaning, repair, or penalty fees. These rules are in place to help protect the home and ensure it remains in excellent condition for future guests.
Thank you for helping us maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming home for all guests!
