This is not just a vacation rental, it is also my home. Please treat it as if it were yours. Please have all adults in your group read these rules and policies and agree to follow.

HOT TUB It is imperative that you not wear lotions, oils, or anything else on your skin prior to entering the hot tub. If you have recently applied any lotion or oil, please use the outdoor shower first. If the hot tub requires extra cleaning, there will be a separate fee depending on cost to clean it.

Also, no foreign objects, bubble bath, or anything other than yourselves may go in the hot tub.

Please do not use gray spa headrests as seating; it breaks the clamps inside.

No pets in the tub. No horseplay and please do not sit on, lay on, jump on, or misuse the hot tub cover in any manner. Additional posted rules. Hot tub use is entirely at your own risk. By renting this cottage, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Harmony Tides Cottage, LLC, and it’s owners, employees, and contractors, from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, or losses whatsoever arising out of or in any way associated with the guest's use of the tub, including but not limited to death, personal injury, or property damage.

Keep cover on and locked when not in use.

DOGS We want our furry guests to relax with the rest of you but we do not allow dogs on beds or furniture. Dog hair on beds or furniture will result in an extra cleaning fee. Please feel free to bring along your dog bed! Unless you trust your dog implicitly, please bring a kennel for when you are not at the home. We can offer dog sitting services, please reach out!

ICE BATH Galvanized steel tub for ice bath available. Use hose and attach to outside shower faucet. Buy ice at Walmart. Empty tub when not in use and when you depart. In the summer we don't want to breed mosquitos.

QUIET HOURS People come/live here for the peace and quiet. Please respect that and observe quiet hours between 11:00 pm and 7:00 am.

THERMOSTAT Please do not turn the AC lower than 76 in the summer or the heat higher than 72 in the winter. Set thermostat at 68 in colder months and 78 in warmer months upon check out.

DOGS We love dogs! We provide our puppy patrons with treats, blankets, wipes, and a dog bed. No dogs on furniture. We charge $25 per dog per night; upon booking you will receive a request for payment through the Airbnb Resolution Center.

Please keep dogs leased when on the community roads. Of course pick up after the dog. No dogs inside the pool enclosure. No dogs in hot tub.

FURNITURE Please do not move furniture.

POOL PASSES Are hanging from hooks near the stairs to the lower level. There is a $25 fee or each pool pass not returned. Please observe all pool rules, on back of pool pass and posted in the cottage.

MAKEUP TOWELS Please only remove makeup with the black "Makeup" towels that are placed in the bathrooms. Makeup stains on the white towels may result in a replacement charge.

CHECK OUT PROCEDURES The night before check-out or first thing in the morning, please run the dishwasher. (Would like the cycle to complete before you leave).

**Leave sheets on unmade beds. Please do not strip or start any laundry. **Place all towels in tub/showers. **Take out trash to cans inside stockade fence. Our trash service comes on Wednesdays and Sundays. A nice man named Dean Ball in a white pick-up truck. If you have more trash than fits in the two containers with lids, please let me know and I will ask him to come and take it. Alternatively, you may drop it off at the Refuse and Recycling Center at the end of White Pine Road. It's close and on the way out if heading toward Kilmarnock. Easiest just to Google it.

**Turn off lights. Close and lock all windows and doors. Turn heat/ac to setting noted.

Have a safe trip back! Please come again.
