Check-in is after 4:00 PM and check-out is by 10:00 AM. Early check-in or late check-out may be possible depending on availability. Only registered guests are allowed on the property, and the home may not be used for parties, events, or gatherings.

Parking is available in the driveway for up to two vehicles, and street parking is also permitted. Guests are expected to keep the kitchen tidy, wash used dishes before checking out, and dispose of trash in the proper bins. Food should not be left unattended outdoors, as the area has wildlife including birds and insects.

Because the home is near water and surrounded by nature, guests may encounter insects or wildlife. Doors should be kept closed to prevent pests from entering the home, and guests should never feed wildlife.

Please treat the property with care and report any damage or maintenance needs as soon as possible so they can be addressed promptly. By booking, guests agree to follow all house rules, local laws, and platform policies.
