4. No tape, thumbtacks, or hanging decorations on the walls.
5. We have a zero tolerance NO SMOKING policy. Smoking of all kinds not permitted inside the house. If any evidence of smoking is found, we charge a minimum $500 fee PLUS the cost of restoring the home to its original smoke free condition.
6. NO dogs or pets of any kind. We love pets, but to maintain our high cleaning standards and accommodate guests with allergies, we have a strict no-pets policy.
7. Pool Safety: The pool is not fenced. There is no lifeguard on duty. Swim at your own risk and consider this when deciding if the home is a good fit for your group.

IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING: All guests are required to complete a simple identity verification before check-in. During this process, you’ll choose between a $35 non-refundable damage waiver or a $1,000 refundable security hold. This works just like a hotel front desk asking for ID and a security deposit—only ours is online and takes just a few minutes on your phone. We do not make money from this; the fee goes directly toward insuring the stay against damage. This step helps protect both our guests and the property so everyone can enjoy a smooth stay.

This property is beautiful! Lovely furnishings and decor. Well-equipped kitchen with a nice coffee bar. Beds were comfortable. Fabulous outdoor space with plenty of seating.
