1. General Rules
Respect the Property: Please treat our home with the same care and respect you would your own.

No Parties or Events: Our property is not suitable for parties or events. Unauthorized gatherings will result in immediate termination of your stay without a refund.

No Smoking: Smoking of any kind (including cigarettes, cigars, vapes, and e-cigarettes) is strictly prohibited inside the house. No smoking of any kind outside the home and all evidence must be taken with you. Imagine, a child picking up a butt or vape dispenser and putting it in their mouth. GROSS!

Quiet Hours: We ask that you observe quiet hours from 10 PM to 8 AM to be considerate of our neighbors. This includes minimizing loud music, conversations, and other noise.

Maximum Occupancy: 6 guests. Only registered guests are permitted to stay overnight. Please inform us of any additional day visitors.

Check-in and Check-out: Check-in is at 4PM and check-out is at 10 AM. Unauthorized late check-outs may result in an additional fee.

Security: Please lock all doors and windows when you leave the property and at night. We are not responsible for lost or stolen items.

Damages: Accidents happen. Please inform us immediately of any damages or breakages. Guests are responsible for the cost of repairs or replacement for any damage that is beyond normal wear and tear.

Trash and Recycling: Please place all trash and recycling in the designated bins.

Appliances: Please use all appliances (stove, oven, microwave, washer, dryer, etc.) according to their instructions. Never leave a stove or oven unattended while in use.

Conservation: To help protect the environment and keep our costs down, please turn off lights and the air conditioner when you leave the house.

Our 5-Star Commitment: > Your comfort is our top priority. If any aspect of your stay falls short of a 5-star standard, we require that you notify us immediately to provide us with the opportunity to cure the issue. We are dedicated to providing prompt solutions while you are on-site to ensure your stay remains enjoyable. Please be advised that in alignment with our house policy, any claims or refund requests made after checkout for issues that were not reported during the stay will be respectfully declined, as we were not afforded the opportunity to cure the matter during your residency.

2. Service Animals are Welcome: We are required to accommodate service animals. Service animals are not considered pets.

What is a Service Animal? A service animal is a dog (or in Florida, a miniature horse) that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability.

Disclosure is Appreciated, but Not Required: While you are not required to disclose that you are bringing a service animal prior to your stay, we appreciate a heads-up to help us prepare for your visit.

Is the service animal required because of a disability?

What work or task has the animal been trained to perform?
We cannot ask about the guest's disability, require documentation, or ask the animal to demonstrate its task.

Responsibility of the Guest: The service animal must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered unless these devices interfere with the animal's work or the individual's disability prevents their use. The animal must be under the control of the handler at all times.

Removal of a Service Animal: A host may ask a guest to remove a service animal if:

The animal is out of control and the handler does not take effective action to control it.

The animal is not housebroken.

The animal's behavior poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others.

Damages: The guest is financially responsible for any damage caused by their service animal that is beyond normal wear and tear. This includes damage to furniture, floors, or other property.

3. Insect & Wildlife Interactions
Pest Control: Our property is professionally treated on a regular basis to prevent pests. Please do not leave doors or windows open for extended periods without a screen, as this is the primary way insects can enter the home.

Food and Waste: To avoid attracting unwanted guests (both critters and insects), please ensure all food is properly stored in sealed containers and any food waste is disposed of in the sealed kitchen trash can. Please take the trash out regularly, especially before you leave.

Racoons and Other Wildlife: Do not feed or approach racoons, snakes, or other wildlife. Always supervise children and pets when they are outside.

Reporting Concerns: If you encounter a significant insect or pest issue, please notify us immediately. We will do our best to address the problem as quickly as possible. Please note that while we will address the issue, a few ants or a stray cockroach is not an automatic reason for a refund.

4. Rules for Extended Stays & Work Crews
Weekly Check-ins: For all stays over seven nights, we require a quick weekly check-in. This is a non-intrusive way for us to ensure the property remains in good condition and that you have everything you need for a comfortable stay. We will contact you via the app you booked with or your on file phone number to schedule a convenient time. This is not a formal inspection, but a chance for us to say hello, see how things are going, and address any potential maintenance issues.

Additional Cleaning Fee: For stays longer than seven nights, an additional cleaning fee of $100 will be added to your reservation. This fee covers the cost of a mid-stay or post-stay deep clean, which is often necessary to maintain the property's high standards during extended use. This is separate from the standard cleaning fee.

Respectful Use: Please be mindful that our home is in a residential neighborhood. We ask that all work crew members respect the property and our neighbors by observing quiet hours and keeping noise to a minimum. Please do not store work-related materials, equipment, or vehicles in the yard or on the street. All company vehicles must be parked in the designated driveway.

5. Rental Agreement and Guest Requirements
Rental Agreement Required: To ensure the safety and security of our property, we require all guests to sign a separate rental agreement.

Process: Upon booking, you will receive a digital copy of our rental agreement via messaging platform. This document outlines the same house rules you have read here, along with liability and property protection clauses.

Timeline: We ask that the agreement be signed within 48 hours of your reservation confirmation. If you are not comfortable with the terms of the agreement, you may decline to sign, and you then agree to cancel your stay.

Purpose: This agreement is in place to protect our property and provides a clear, legally binding understanding of our house rules. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and well-cared-for home for all guests.

6. Weather, Hurricanes, and "Acts of God"
Be Aware of the Weather, including thunderstorms. Guests are advised to be aware of weather forecasts when booking and during their stay.
Bad Weather Is Not a Reason for Refund: A guest cancellation due to "bad weather" (e.g., rain, wind, or a cloudy day) is not a qualifying reason for a refund. Our standard cancellation policy will apply.

MYW Rentals Major Disruptive Events Policy: Please be aware that MYW Rentals Major Disruptive Events Policy only applies in specific, officially declared circumstances.

What is Covered: The policy covers events like mandatory evacuation orders, government-imposed travel restrictions, or large-scale, prolonged utility outages that make the property uninhabitable. If one of these events is officially declared for our area, both guests and hosts can cancel without penalty, and a full refund will be processed by your booking platform.

What is NOT Covered: The policy does not cover:

The threat or possibility of a hurricane.

A forecast for bad weather (e.g., rain or wind) that does not result in an official government order or a utility outage.

General travel advisories.

Your personal decision to leave due to a storm that does not require an official evacuation.

Travel Insurance is Highly Recommended: Given the potential for hurricanes and other weather-related disruptions, we strongly encourage all guests to purchase comprehensive travel insurance. This is the best way to protect your trip and financial investment from unforeseen weather events that do not meet MYW Rentals Major Disruptive Events Policy criteria.

Guest and Host Safety: In the event of an approaching storm, your safety is our top priority. We will follow all official guidance from local authorities. If an evacuation order is issued for our area, you must vacate the property immediately.

Missing/Stolen items: We like to stock our rentals with things that you might need during your stay such as linens, pillows, towels, etc.
If at the end of your stay there are items missing you will be asked to replace those items with the cost of replacement.
Some examples may include: pillows ($20), pillow case covers ($10), top sheet ($30), bottom sheet ($40), room spray ($10), soap dispensers ($40)

Cameras in use on the exterior of the property for guest and host protection.
