PLEASE READ THE HOUSE RULES BELOW BEFORE BOOKING A RESERVATION!
Note: Due to VRBO's character limit on the listing description, I had to omit some details about certain rules. If you book a reservation, you will receive a link to the house manual. Go to the “Detailed House Rules” manual and read it. You must understand all the rules as I will refer to them if issues arise!
1. All guests must be accounted for in the reservation. This means all guests entering the home at any time count as guests. In other words, the definition of a guest is not limited to those planning on sleeping inside the unit but to all guests planning to be inside the unit at any given time. Any extra guests (unregistered guests) not disclosed before arrival may lead to the termination of the reservation.
2. If you are a local resident, please seek our pre-approval before booking a reservation. We reserve the right to deny bookings made by local guests since data shows that large gatherings and parties tend to occur when local guests use the residence.
3. Please note that we only release door codes to the person who booked the reservation.
4. No parties/events. We will know if these occur because we have outdoor video cameras, noise and crowd-monitoring devices, and close relationships with our neighbors, who have been instructed to alert us if any parties are being held. If this happens, then we will immediately terminate your reservation, you will not be refunded any money, and furthermore, we will seek compensation for any damages found upon our subsequent inspection of the property.
5. Not for commercial use or special occasions without pre-approval (weddings, bachelor parties, birthdays, commercials, bridal showers, photoshoots, etc.).
6. Please note that this is a smoke-free/drug-free environment. You may smoke
outside the property if you are at least 15 feet away from the house. If we detect that smoking has occurred in the home, you will be charged for a deep cleaning of the home.
7. No excessive noise or loud music. Quiet hours run from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. We have noise-monitoring devices that will send us a message if a specified decibel threshold is reached. You will be given one warning to quiet down. If the noise threshold continues to be breached, you will be ejected from the property.
8. We have two security cameras placed outside the home. We have a camera overlooking the driveway and a doorbell camera monitoring the front door area. Therefore, we will see everyone who enters and leaves the home.
9. The maximum guest occupancy for the property is 10 guests.
10. Pets are not allowed in the unit. Unauthorized pets will incur a hefty fee.
11. Firearms are not allowed in the residence.
12. Mail is not allowed to be sent to the property.
13. Do not use the neighbor across the street's garbage/recycling bins or street parking spots. The neighbor has outdoor video cameras monitoring their garbage/recycling bins and parking spots. They will alert me if they are used, and you will be fined. If you are unsure which street parking spots and outdoor garbage bins are ours, refer to the house manual, which contains written descriptions and pictures of these things.
14. Please leave the residence in a clean and tidy state.
15. Please ensure you check out on time to avoid a $50 late check-out fee. Unless otherwise discussed, any guest still in the residence after 12 p.m. will be charged for an extra night.
16. Guests are assured that the space will be in clean and working condition. No compensation will be given for non-working items outside of our control, including but not limited to power outages, internet outages, etc.
17. Guests take full responsibility for any accidents, injuries, or illnesses occurring on the premises or their facilities. By accepting this reservation, it is agreed that all guests are expressly assuming the risk of any harm arising from their use of the premises. Guests recognize that they may personally purchase insurance to protect themselves in such events.
