Thank you so much for taking the time to read through our home guidelines. These help ensure a smooth stay for you and protect the peaceful environment our neighbors enjoy. We truly appreciate your cooperation. 💛

If something isn’t right (amenities, cleanliness, etc.), please message us immediately. By reporting a complaint, you allow us or our team to access the property to resolve the issue.

💥 Damages

Accidents happen — just let us know right away. If repair or replacement costs exceed $12, a resolution request will be filed.

Maximum outdoor volume: 30 (controlled via the TV remote).

If an undisclosed pet causes damage, excessive cleaning, odors, flea treatment, or any additional expenses, a $300 pet security/damage charge may also apply, in addition to any documented repair or cleaning costs exceeding that amount.

❄️ Air Conditioning

You’re in the tropics — the AC must always stay ON in Auto mode, 70–78°F. Turning off the AC can cause mold and may lead to fines.
