Please read the below policies and rules. By booking this reservation, you (the renter) agree to all the policies and rules set forth by the property owner. A violation of any of these policies will result in immediate cancellation without refund.
1. IDENTIFICATION: A copy of a government ID will be required for the name on the reservation and will need to be uploaded to our online check-in form (managed by Guesty PMS) before the start of the reservation. Failure to do this will result in the guest being charged for their stay without access to the property. Additionally, the guest acknowledges that they have a crime-free record and will not engage in illicit activities at the property.
2. LIMITED OCCUPANCY: Occupancy is limited to a maximum of 2 persons. The home will not be rented to anyone under 25 years of age.
3. DAMAGE: Property contents that are damaged beyond normal wear and tear will be charged to the renter. Renter authorizes charges to the card on file for any such damages or violations without additional consent.
4. QUIET HOURS: Quiet hours will begin after 10 PM. Outside music will not be allowed after 10 PM.
5. GATHERINGS AND EVENTS: This home is intended for personal and family vacations, not event venues. Any use of the rental property other than residential use for vacation must be requested and approved in writing. In addition to the limited occupancy, day/evening guests are limited to 2, unless otherwise permitted. All day/evening guests must vacate the premises by 10:00 PM. House parties are 100% prohibited. If the above terms are not followed, you and all other occupants will be required to vacate the premises immediately and forfeit all monies paid.
6. GUNS AND ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES: Guns and illegal substances are strictly prohibited. Any evidence of guns or illegal substances will result in the immediate eviction of the renters and guests.
7. SMOKING: This is a smoke-free property. If there is any evidence of smoking, there will be a $500+ deep cleaning fee charged to your account. Please note that marijuana, e-cigs, vapors, and hookahs, etc. fall within this category. The renter will be responsible for the cost of any lost profit on any booking following their stay that results in cancellation due to the smoke smell.
8. PETS: Pets, exclusively cats and dogs, will be allowed on a case-by-case basis and will only be allowed with the property owner’s prior written approval, and can never be left unattended at the property. Any damages incurred by a renter’s pets will be charged to the renter. If the renter is caught with an unapproved pet staying on the property, the renter will be charged a $500+ fee per pet.
9. CHILDREN: Renters are fully responsible for the safety and security of their children at all times, as well as any disturbance caused to any other residents in the neighborhood. Parents must not leave children unattended at any time. Any renter/guest injuries sustained inside the house are not covered by our vacation rental insurance.
10. PERSONAL PROPERTY: The owner is not responsible for loss, theft, or damage to the belongings of any renter/guest while at the premises. Any items of personal property left at the premises shall be deemed to have been abandoned and may be disposed of.
11. REFUNDS: No refunds will be provided due to inoperable appliances. The property manager will make every reasonable effort to assure that such appliances will be and remain in good working order. No refunds will be given due to power blackouts, water shortage, flooding, snow, construction at adjacent properties, or mandatory evacuations of the area by county officials due to hurricanes or other potentially dangerous situations arising from acts of god or nature.
12. PERMISSION TO ENTER: Renters acknowledge and grant specific permission to property manager to enter premises at any time for inspection purposes should property manager reasonably believe that renters are causing or have caused any damage to the rental property.
13. SURVEILANCE & NOISE MONITORING: We have exterior surveillance cameras on the front doors and on the sides of the house. Tampering with or blocking these devices or the WiFi is prohibited. Additionally, we have a noise-monitoring device in the kitchen to track (on a decibel level) loud and consistent noises in the unit, which must remain plugged in at all times. Such devices are not capable of hearing or recording sound, only monitoring decibel level.
14. PARKING: Renters can park two cars in the front parking lot. Boats and trailers are not allowed to park in the parking lot.
15. SUBLETTING: Subletting is strictly prohibited. Any evidence of subletting will result in the immediate eviction of the renters and guests.

17. SECURITY DEPOSIT & ADDITIONAL CHARGES: A refundable security deposit may be required at the sole discretion of the Property Owner/Manager, based on factors including length of stay, number of guests, booking source, and other risk considerations. For direct bookings, the deposit amount (if any) will be communicated prior to check-in and must be paid in order to confirm or proceed with the reservation.
For reservations made through third-party platforms, including Vrbo/Airbnb/Booking.com, the listed security deposit (if any) applies; however, an additional refundable security deposit may be required for extended stays or higher-risk reservations, which will be communicated after booking and must be paid prior to check-in.
Payment of any security deposit constitutes acceptance of the amount and terms. The Property Owner/Manager is authorized to apply the security deposit toward any damages, excessive cleaning, missing items, or violations of this agreement, and may charge the card on file for any amounts exceeding the deposit.
Charges for damages or violations may be processed at any time, including during the reservation period. Any remaining balance of the security deposit will be returned after checkout, less applicable deductions.
