You will be charged a minimum of $500 in addition to any interruption in our bookings should you choose to break this rule. NO illegal drugs/substances are permitted to be stored or used at any time.


PARTIES & EVENTS
At this time, we do not allow parties or events. This is a residential neighborhood. The neighbors are aware of our vacation rental and they will notify us of excessive noise and partying. By booking our property you agree that if the police are called for excessive noise, partying, or other reasons, you will be charged $500 and will be subject to non-refundable cancellation of the remainder of your reservation. These rules are intended to ensure the harmonious existence between visitors and full-time residents.


Our home has exterior SECURITY CAMERAS that record at each entry point. This is for your safety and the safety of our neighbors. If any of these cameras are moved or blocked by guests your booking will be canceled without refund. There are no cameras inside the house.


CLEANING
The fee covers normal cleaning of the actual house - We strip/make beds, clean the linens/towels and disinfect the house. ALL trash should be tied in bags and taken to the garbage and recycling items loosely in correct bins. Dishes, as well as anything on counters, surfaces and appliances should be cleaned by you. Dirty dishes can be put in the dishwasher and turned on without you needing to stay and put them away. Please remove any food or drinks that have been opened before leaving. If extra cleaning is needed by our staff, it is an additional $100. If an extended stay and you want cleaning services, I can arrange that for you at $100 per trip using the service that we have on a regular basis, as they know the house.


BEACH ACCESSORIES
You're welcome to use all that we provide as long as you rinse them off completely & leave the beach by the ocean. Excess sand in the house will be extra rates as stated above. Our beaches have rinse off stations, as does the front yard.


BUGS
Your walking distance from the water so mosquitos will be present. We have a monthly service to treat the outside. Keep the door & windows shut at ALL times (EVEN for a minute while loading things in or out) & food in containers. Close up the house as they will quickly come in. We will provide no refund or adjustments for any bugs. Feel free to open windows w/ screens in them if you prefer fresh air instead of AC but never open windows w/out screens. We have it serviced on the exterior once a month. This service will be done without prior notice and shouldn’t cause any disruption in your stay.


IN SUMMARY:
By booking with us you agree to these terms and agree that your booking cost will not be refunded should any of these rules be broken and your stay is canceled.

Most of this is common sense but there is a reason we have to write these things here... We aim to give guests a clear description of what to expect so the only surprises you have are good ones! We are available if you have questions and just a call or text away. We also have family in the neighborhood, if needed.

Please ask any questions you have or send a message that we are "ALL SET" to confirm you've read and agree to the house rules and would like to book with us. If you instant book without sending this, the booking will be canceled.

LOCALS:
If you are local please state the purpose for your booking and confirm no extra guests will be 'stopping by.'
