By booking this property, guests acknowledge and agree to all house rules below. Violations constitute a material breach of the reservation agreement and may result in immediate termination of the stay without refund, removal from the property, and additional charges.

• MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY & VISITORS

Maximum occupancy may not be exceeded at any time.

All visitors must be included in the total guest count.

The city strictly enforces occupancy limits and we cannot exceed the maximum listed.

Undisclosed guests will incur a $50 per person per night fee and may result in immediate cancellation without refund.

• STRICT NO PARTY OR EVENT POLICY (ZERO TOLERANCE)

This property is strictly for registered overnight guests only and is not approved for parties, events, celebrations, gatherings, receptions, or social functions of any kind.

A “party” includes, but is not limited to: exceeding maximum occupancy at any time; hosting unregistered visitors; excessive noise or music audible outside the home; event-style setup, decorations, balloons, banners, DJs, rented equipment, catering, or alcohol-centered gatherings; guests arriving or departing in a pattern consistent with an event; or any activity that disrupts neighbors or violates city ordinances.

Attempted parties, planned events, or preparations for a party may result in immediate termination even if the event has not fully occurred.

If a party or gathering is suspected or confirmed, the reservation will be immediately terminated without refund.

A $500 minimum penalty will apply in addition to any cleaning, damage, security response, neighbor disturbance, fines, or loss-of-business costs.

Host reserves the right to deny entry, require immediate departure, or contact law enforcement if necessary.

No warning is required prior to termination for party-related activity.

• QUIET HOURS

Quiet hours are 9:00 PM – 8:00 AM.

Verified noise complaints or elevated decibel readings may result in a warning at host discretion.

Continued disturbance may result in cancellation without refund.

• NOISE MONITORING & EXTERIOR CAMERAS

The property uses exterior security cameras only (such as front entry, driveway, or yard areas). Outdoor cameras do not monitor indoor spaces or private outdoor areas.

Noise monitoring devices may be used to measure decibel levels only and do not record conversations or audio content.

There are no cameras or recording devices inside the home or in any interior guest-accessible spaces.

This property is located in Coastal Virginia. Due to climate and proximity to water, insects and wildlife are common despite regular professional pest control.

Occasional insects (including ants, roaches, palmetto bugs, spiders, mosquitoes, and similar pests) do not constitute a cleanliness issue and are not grounds for refunds.

Guests are encouraged to keep doors and windows closed to minimize entry.

Reservations may be declined or canceled if objective, verifiable risk factors indicate a heightened likelihood of rule violations, parties, property damage, or misuse of the home. Host reserves the right, at their sole discretion, to cancel any reservations based on these findings.

All decisions are based on reservation details and risk factors only. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, familial status, disability, or any other protected characteristic.
