Other Things to Note:

CRITICAL HOUSE RULES:

1) AWNING: IF you use the awning on the back deck please retract it before going to bed OR if it rains OR if it gets windy. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! You are responsible for any damage to our Sunsetter awning.

Also: do NOT take the awning remote off the kitchen wall for any reason.



2) GRILL: If you use the grill, you MUST pull it out at least two (2) feet away from the house and decking before use.



3) A/C: DO NOT open any windows with an AC unit in it. It will fall out of the window and break. This should be obvious…but you’d be surprised what some people do..



4) FISH TANK: DO NOT bang, bump, or strike the fish tank. It is made of glass and will break.



5) SAFETY: Please use good judgment when consuming alcohol and be mindful of your surroundings and the property at all times.



6) KOI POND: DO NOT swim, fall in, or get in the koi pond for any reason.



7) MUSIC: be courteous to my next-door neighbor. LOUD music after 10 pm is highly discouraged. It’s still okay to play at a respectable volume, but please keep in mind they are a family and have a younger child.



8) You are expected to *BRING THE HOUSE TO HOW YOU FOUND IT* when you check in (“the golden rule”)..

Please clean up all messes, clean/wipe down all surfaces, restore items to where they were, and follow the checkout directions carefully and fully (they will be sent to you the day before checkout).
