Prompt reporting allows us to address and rectify any issues quickly, ensuring a pleasant and comfortable stay for all guests.

Cancellation Policy:
The cancellation policy for your booking is determined by the platform through which you made your reservation. To provide you with peace of mind, we strongly recommend purchasing a separate trip insurance policy. This ensures coverage in the event that unforeseen circumstances require you to cancel your stay. Please review the specific cancellation policy on your booking platform for detailed information and remember that we uphold the cancellation policy in place at the time of booking.

We maintain a strict policy against harassment in any form. Abusive, threatening, harassing, violent, hostile, or inappropriate language towards our staff, servicers, vendors, or other guests is not tolerated under any circumstances. Failure to adhere to this policy may result in the immediate termination of your stay without a refund and is considered a breach of the rental agreement. We are committed to providing a safe, respectful environment for all guests and staff, and we appreciate your cooperation in upholding these standards.

Pet Policy:
Our properties have specific guidelines regarding pets, and it`s essential to check the listing details to determine if pets are allowed, as this is subject to HOA policies or the owner`s preference. If pets are permitted:

- Pets must not be left alone in the property unless secured in a crate or kennel.
- Pets are not allowed on beds or furniture.
- All pet messes, both inside and outside the property, must be promptly cleaned up by the pet owner. The pet fee covers additional cleaning inside the property but does not extend to waste pickup. Failure to adhere to this may result in a damage protection policy claim for excessive pet waste cleanup.
- Pets should never be left unattended outdoors.
- There is a limit to the number of pets allowed per stay.

Guests who do not comply with these pet rules may be required to board their pets or, in severe cases, may be asked to vacate the property without a refund. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in maintaining a comfortable and clean environment for all guests.

City Noise Ordinance:
Please be aware that the city noise ordinance is in effect and enforceable nightly from 10 pm to 9 am. As the reservation holder, you are responsible for ensuring that all members of your party adhere to this ordinance. Any violations may result in fees or fines, for which you will be responsible.

Outside Guest Policy:
For security and liability reasons, only those guests listed on your reservation are allowed on the premises. If you wish to add additional guests, you must provide their names, ages, and IDs (for adults), and they must acknowledge the rental agreement. Failure to comply, such as the presence of unauthorized guests, will lead to immediate eviction without a refund, with the reservation holder liable for any resulting damages or injuries.

Children’s Safety:
Children on the premises must never be left unattended and should not engage in dangerous or reckless behavior. It is the responsibility of the reservation holder to ensure the safety and supervision of all children in their party to prevent accidents and ensure a safe environment for all guests.
