PETS/SERVICE ANIMALS:
Our property is pet friendly (limit 2), but please make sure you follow the rules mentioned below:
NO CATS! This is a hazard as future guests could have allergy issues.
No constant barking nor disturbances is allowed. We do not want anyone disturbed at any time. We assume the pet is well behaved and will be trained to be quiet.
Non-aggressive breeds, no history of aggression, 50lb limit and $100 PER ANIMAL PER STAY DOG FEE (NON-REFUNDABLE). This only applies to reservations that do not last a maximum of one week. If your stay exceeds one week, the pet fee will be $100 per pet per week (non-refundable).
Pets and service animals must be supervised when in the backyard, not be left unattended at any time.
Pets and service animals should have a collar, harness, or microchip with identifying owner information attached should it become lost and must be crated or kenneled when left alone to avoid accidents.
Please avoid any pet mess inside the house and outside as well. Guests are required to remove ALL TRACES of an animal being present at the property. Please pick up their waste and dispose of it accordingly and bring a cover for our couches and chairs, if pets sit on them. Always have mattress protectors on beds regardless. Any damage caused by an animal must be repaired or reported to us and will be charged back to you.
You will need to disclose to us if you will be bringing a pet to the property. Please let us know your pet's breed, how many as well as weight at the time of booking.
ISSUES DURING STAY:
So we can maintain a high standard throughout your stay and to help us address any concerns quickly and ensure the best experience possible, we kindly ask that any issues be reported during the guest’s stay. Any issues reported after stay can't be taken into consideration, as we won’t have the opportunity to assess or address them in real time.
TRASH DISPOSAL:
All household trash must be disposed of in the black or brown bins only. Failure to do so will result in a $50 penalty. Blue bins are strictly for RECYCLING only.
SECURITY CAMERA:
Any tampering with or covering of cameras compromises the security of the property, and if they are altered in any way, it may result in immediate cancellation of the booking without a refund.
SECURITY DEPOSIT:
It will be returned after no damage is found. We may also charge an additional cleaning and damage fee if the repair and replacement is more than the said deposit amount.
NO UNREGISTERED GUESTS ALLOWED:
We require that all guests must be declared, regardless of whether they are staying or just visiting. Staying guests must be registered and acknowledged. Failure to register or declare any guests will result in a penalty of $30 per guest, per day.
