Therefore, we strongly advise guests to protect their travel plans from unforeseen disruptions by purchasing travel insurance.

*Fig Tree*
A mature fig tree grows on the property, producing fruit in August at the peak of fig season. To prevent bees from being drawn to the ripe fruit, the owners will need to harvest it during this time. If you have a bee allergy, please take extra care.

- We will strive to schedule fig harvesting when the property is unoccupied; however, as fig season coincides with peak rental season, some overlap may occur.
