Other things to note
Fireplace is NOT for guest use.
This is a dog-friendly rental. While we and our cleaners are as thorough as possible, If you have pet allergies this listing may not be suitable for you.
Dogs only - maximum of 2 dogs allowed. (We do not allow cats.) Please let us know in advance if you plan to bring your dog and add them to your guest count in order for the pet fee to be charged. Dogs must be house-trained, friendly (in case we need to access the house), up to date on flea meds and shots, and well-socialized.
Dogs ARE NOT to be left alone unattended in the house uncrated, or on the deck or screened porch for extended periods of time.
Be sure to pick up after your dog in all areas and keep your dog off the furniture. If you have a "shedding" type breed, clean-up also means hair within reason. Failure to do so or any damage from your dog will result in an additional fee.
If you use the grill please clean it before departure for the next guests. Our cleaners do not clean grills. If you use the last of the propane in one of the tanks, please let us know or replace it.
If you break something please replace it or let us know ahead of time so that we can be proactive for the next guests. We know accidents happen - just help us out!
We provide one set of bath towels per expected guest. We do not provide beach towels.
We provide the first roll of toilet paper per bathroom and one roll of paper towels. Additional needs are the guests' responsibility.
We require a signed rental agreement as a condition of booking. Rental agreement will be sent separately after booking.
While extremely rare, we are not responsible for power outages or other weather-related issues beyond our control. We do not give refunds for weather-related issues or internet or cell tower-related issues. For those that are concerned about tropical storms, we recommend purchasing the offered travel insurance at booking.
