Other things to note

No smoking on premises.

No parties, no exceptions. This is a quiet neighborhood.

While we do love kids, this house is definitely NOT child-proof: there are breakables within reach and outlets are not guarded. Cabinets contain cleaning materials.

The pool does not have an alarm or child gate.

There are exterior security cameras. They have tamper alarms.

No personal wipes down the toilet, not even the “flushable” kind- it *will* absolutely clog the toilet and make a horrific mess. Please use the trash can for personal wipes and tampons.
