House Rules
*No pets, No smoking, parties, or events

*Check-in is anytime after 4PM and check out by 11AM
*Self check-in with smart lock
*We are private homeowners and not in a big rental pool. Our goal is to be gracious guest. Any rules or requests in place are for the safety and comfort of our guests. Please read the following information prior to booking for your comfort, safety and understanding of rules that were not put in place randomly. They are very important:

By making this reservation it is expressly agreed that:

1. You and your guests are aware of the dangers of having a dock, hot tub, outdoor grill and use of kayaks on the premises, and that you accept and assume all risks of harm associated with the dock, hot tub, outdoor grill and kayaks.

2. You (as tenant) and your guests release the property owner and their representatives free from any liability, including financial liability for any injuries/harm that may occur from use of dock, hot tub, outdoor grill and kayaks on the premises.

**THIS IS A NON SMOKING PROPERTY. You may smoke outside in front of the house with the door closed, but NOT in the back or side of the home, or on the deck or dock area. You must dispose of your butts properly. Do not leave cigarettes on our driveway or in the street. If this is not convenient for you, we urge you to find another property more accommodating.

Fishing off the top deck is strictly prohibited including casting over the neighbors boat house or lighted area! Other guests have caused damage and neighbor has had broken fishing hooks go into their boat. If this happens they will call the police and guest will be asked to leave the property.

Quiet time by Port Isabel regulations is 10 am - 8am on weekdays and 11pm - 8 am on weekends. No loud music or noise during these hours please.

**Keep off boat. Children should not be allowed to climb on our boat or untie the ties. It is dangerous. We are not responsible for any accidents or injuries if anyone climbs on the boat but you may be responsible for any damages** There is a 24/7 camera focused tightly on the boat.

***NO DIVING OFF DOCK*** Please instruct all guests and children not to dive off dock. Water is only 4-5 feet deep. Enter and exit water by ladder. Diving off dock can cause serious injury. We have a ladder to go in the water... (cannon balls work too!)

*We are always happy to allow early check in or late check out at no extra charge if property is available and ready for you. Please ask one or two days prior to check in.

*No pets or animals of any kind permitted due to owners severe allergies.


*Our home is licensed for 9 guests not including children under the age of 2. If the number of guests increases to what you registered for, please let us know so the home is prepared properly. Over the limit fee without permission is $500 plus $50 per person per night. Non negotiable

*Home is not ideal for small children. Supervise your young children at all times. Please be aware, dock area does not have rails. Children should not run around deck area or play near hot tub as area may be wet and slippery. Do not allow children to climb on ladder (for kayak entry or to enter water) unsupervised. Children should wear life vests at all times when on lower dock area. Various sizes of life vests are available for your use, though I cannot guarantee proper fit, so you may consider bringing life vests or wearable float wear for kids.

*We provide beach/hot tub towels for your convenience of you choose not to bring your own. If you use ours, you are requested to wash and dry all beach towels prior to departure (I suggest washing the night before). This allows us to charge you less for our cleaning fee than other homes in the area. All beach towels will fit into one wash load in our oversized washing machine. Its simple! If you Prefer NOT to do this, please let us know and I will add $35 to your cleaning fee, which is what our cleaning crew charges me.

*Deck is high and over water. Children should not run on the deck or up and down steps.

*Hot Tub: Unlike some others, we do not charge you extra for the hot tub. For your enjoyment, please read info in house book so you do not lock the controls on the hot tub (by pressing random buttons). *Please see house book regarding adding bromine to hot tub to keep it fresh and clean during your stay.

*Kayaks are free to use for your enjoyment. Please read instructions for care and use which must be followed.

**All guests over the age of 18 are required to provide valid drivers license with current address. Contract will be sent for required signatures.

***There is a security camera on the property. It is pointed very tightly only at our boat. It does not cover any of the other deck, dock area or the water. It is a very tight focus. This camera will remain on. Please do not allow anyone of your guests to climb on the boat or touch the boat lift at any time.

*Do not allow anyone to jump on beds. Platform beds do not have box springs to absorb the jumps and can and will break the bed. Do not allow children to jump from top bunk.

*Damage deposit is a cash deposit. I have never held one back and I hope not to, however, there is no exception to this rule.

**Cancellation Policy** Full refund if you cancel your reservation 30 days in advance. 15-29 days will be a 50% refund, unless we rebook those dates. 0-14 days will be no refund unless the dates are rebooked. Any fee incurred (credit card/paypal fees etc) will not be refunded. Thank you.
