A few extra things to know:
1. We are so sorry, but due to previous experiences, we are unable to accommodate smoking anywhere on the property. If you would like to smoke, please consider another location.
2. We are often asked about the additional. $20 charge for each person over 3. This is simply the additional cleaning charge we pay and VRBO does not have a way for us to include that in the cleaning fee.
