Other Things to Note:

📝 IMPORTANT TO KNOW



🏡 Respect the Neighborhood

The home is located in a residential neighborhood. We kindly ask guests to be respectful of our neighbors and observe quiet hours from **10 PM – 8 AM**.



🎣 FISHING & WATERFRONT ETIQUETTE

Please be mindful when fishing and avoid casting onto neighboring properties. We kindly ask that you respect our neighbors' space and keep all casts within the designated area.



🦟 Insects

Texas weather can naturally attract insects, especially in outdoor areas. While we do our best to maintain a comfortable environment, insects are a natural part of the local climate and are outside of our control. We recommend bringing insect repellent and, if desired, citronella candles for outdoor use.
