 If guests bring a pet to our non-pet home, not only will it invalidate this rental agreement allowing immediate eviction with no refund, but it can greatly affect guests who require an allergen free home. Board your pets, do not sneak them into our allergen free home.

 Does anyone in your party have mobility issues requiring the use of the elevator? 

*The elevator is not a toy and it is not a cargo elevator. The key will only be issued to guests in need.

Optional Grocery Delivery & Stocking fee  

NC State & Lodging Tax on total (12.75%) $__________

Amount Paid [Month Date, Year] $__________ (Includes Security Deposit)

Amount Due [Month Date, Year] $__________

*Security Deposit of $750.00 will be refunded within 14 days of check out if post check out inspection is favorable.

1) PROPERTY CONDITION: Leave the home as you found it and it should be relatively ready for the next guests. Guests are responsible for maintenance and repair costs should the premises or furnishings be left in a lesser condition.

2) DO NOT REARRANGE THE HOUSE: We request you refrain from rearranging the furniture or reorganizing the kitchen. You’re on vacation, please spend it relaxing rather than determining a “better” location for items. There's a $50 fee for every item that must be replaced to its original location by our cleaning crew. This includes beds, chairs, tables, and everything outdoors.

Additionally, inside furniture and decor should remain indoors.

3) ACCIDENTS/DAMAGES: Please report all accidents, damages, and any non-working appliances immediately so that they can be corrected before the next guests arrive. Discovering these issues after checkout often means the next guests won’t have access to usage until a service call can be scheduled, which is very difficult to do on turnover day. If the cost of the damage is more than the security deposit or if extra cleaning should be involved, the cost incurred will be billed to the guests.

5) EXTRA GUESTS AND VISITORS: A maximum of four visitors is allowed during the day. Any extra overnight visitors must be approved in advance. It is the responsibility of the renter to ensure that any visitor also complies with our House Rules.

6) PARTIES AND EVENTS: No parties or events are allowed without prior approval from owners. Any small gathering is restricted to four additional visitors and must comply with the rules regarding noise.

7) PARKING: Please park your vehicle under the house near the elevator, to the left of the front door, or out front on the gravel provided. 

Do not park on the right (south) side of the home.

 This level field area is our septic leach field and the weight of vehicles will damage it.

9) SMOKING: Smoking is not permitted anywhere inside the property. If you want to smoke, you may only smoke outside. Please dispose of your cigarette butts and ash in the garbage (after it’s safe to do so).

12) LIABILITY: The tenant’s personal property is not covered in the insurance purchased by the owner against loss, theft, or negligence. The tenant indemnifies the landlord and the property free and harmless against any liabilities like accidents, loss of property, injury, or death of any person.

  Failure to follow any of these house rules is a breach of the terms and conditions of your reservation.

I acknowledge and understand the above Rental Provisions/House Rules:

Refunds 61 days prior to date of stay is 100%, at 60 days or less there’s no refund unless the owner can rent the dates to another guest. Once a reservation is made, those dates are taken off the market.

I acknowledge and understand cancellation policy:

Trip Cancellation/Interruption Insurance: 

It is highly recommended that guests purchase trip cancellation/interruption insurance in case of emergency/bad weather, hurricane, Covid-19 bans/restrictions, etc. as NO REFUNDS will be given. Please visit 

I acknowledge the recommendation to purchase trip insurance:
