House Rules
• The primary guest making the reservation must be 25 years or older and is required to stay at the property. • No gatherings permitted—only registered guests (including children) are allowed on the premises. • Exceeding the maximum guest count, whether for overnight stays or daytime visits, will result in a charge of $100 per additional person, per night. • Each booking is eligible for only one promotion or deal, if available. • DO NOT tamper with network or security devices—any attempt will result in immediate cancellation of your booking, and you will be asked to leave the property immediately with no refunds. Smoking inside is strictly prohibited, covering cigarettes, cigars, vaping, etc. Unfortunately, additional animals are not allowed on the property due to the presence of existing animals.

(Memorial Day thru Labor Day) If cooking pots and pans are used, kindly hand wash and dry them. >Easy Check-In Process for your rental agreement, ID verification, & security hold This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of a thousand dollars (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $40 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional. To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.
