Our commitment to inclusivity and equality ensures a welcoming and respectful environment for everyone.

Renter Requirements:
- The primary renter must adhere to the age requirements as advertised on the booking platform at the time of booking.

The home comes equipped with essentials for a starter pack; replenishing supplies is the guest`s responsibility.
Promptly report any missing items in the property as soon as they are noticed, rather than waiting until the end of the stay. Failure to inform us in a timely manner is considered negligence on the part of the guest. 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.
