OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:

○ The games room is in the garage and is not heated space. However it is insulated and has heated living areas above it, so it's not freezing and can still be enjoyed in the winter with a light jacket.
○ Please report any accidental damage as soon as it occurs.
○ Guests are responsible for any fines incurred as a result of breaking community rules (this has never happened yet).
○ The owners may store a vehicle in the garage, however it is a very large garage and there will still be space for 2 guest vehicles.
○ A golf cart is stored in the garage. Unfortunately, it's not available for guest use (for insurance reasons).
