Other things to note Hello Future Guest (we hope)! Thank you for considering our listing. Just some important information before you decide to book so we know we are on the same page.. CHECK-IN SUPPORT ONLY AVAILABLE UNTIL 10PM Our check-in support hours are from 4pm to 10pm. If you think you'll be arriving after 10pm, please let us know so we can make sure to stay up and be available to help with any check-in problems you may encounter. We want to make sure your check-in goes smoothly, so we recommend checking out the "Check-In Instructions" section of our Airbnb listing before you arrive. We've found that most check-in issues are due to small errors, such as entering the code in the lockbox instead of the smart lock or not waiting long enough for the smart lock to reset. So double-check those instructions and you should be good to go! Of course, if you do run into any problems during check-in, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We'll do our best to help you out. Just keep in mind that if you check-in after 10pm and run into issues, we may not be able to help you until the next morning. So, make sure to arrive on time to avoid any unnecessary stress. SUPPLIES We want to make sure you have everything you need to kick off your stay on the right foot. That's why we've prepared a pack of starter supplies for you to use during your first day - no need to rush to the store right away! Just a friendly reminder though, if you need additional supplies like toilet paper, paper towels, or laundry detergent during your stay, you'll need to pick those up yourself. Don't worry, we won't charge you for the starter supplies, and we're sure you'll have a blast exploring the local stores! We won't be able to deliver supplies, but if you need any recommendations on where to find them, feel free to ask us. IMPORTANT UPDATE: Starting June 1st, 2026, bath towels and washcloths will no longer be provided. Hand towels and kitchen towels will still be available. Please remember to pack your own for your upcoming stay! DISCLAIMER: This property is professionally treated for pests, but as with any home, occasional bugs or rodents may be present. By booking, you acknowledge this and agree that no refunds will be issued for pest sightings. LONGER STAYS For reservations that last more than 7 days, we'll need to check the property every week to ensure everything is in tip-top shape. This is just a routine inspection and we'll work with you to schedule a convenient time. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain the property during your extended stay. TV APPS Our Roku TVs are a great way to access apps like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and more during your stay. Please note that we don't have subscriptions to these apps or cable TV, but you can easily access them with your own account credentials. Just remember to log out of your accounts before checking out so that your account information remains secure. EARLY CHECK-INS/LATE CHECK-OUTS We totally get it, sometimes you just want to start your vacation early or take a little extra time to relax before heading out. We're happy to help make that happen, as long as it doesn't interfere with our cleaning schedule or any other guests' plans. Keep in mind that we won't be able to confirm your early check-in or late check-out until the day before your arrival or departure, and we do charge an hourly fee for this service, which must be paid in advance. So, shoot us a message the day before and we'll see what we can do! Thanks for understanding. NO PARTIES!/NO VISITORS We just wanted to give you a quick heads up that our property is not a party or event house. We've even hired a security firm to help us keep the peace and ensure everyone's safety while they're here. Please keep in mind that this is a residential neighborhood, so we do have to be extra careful about noise and other disturbances. If you do happen to violate our house rules and have an unauthorized party or gathering, we'll have to cancel your reservation and unfortunately, you won't be receiving any refunds. Also, just a reminder that only registered guests are allowed on the property. Visitors aren't permitted, and while we rarely exercise this right, we do reserve the right to enter the property if necessary. We even have 24/7 overseas monitoring of security cameras to help us keep everything in check. We hope you understand that our rules are in place to make sure everyone has a safe and enjoyable stay. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us. NO SMOKING We kindly request that all guests refrain from smoking indoors, including tobacco, marijuana, vapes, or any other substance with an odor.

OUTDOOR AREA We want to ensure our guests have a comfortable stay and enjoy our outdoor area. Please note that our outdoor furniture is available for use from May 1 to Oct 31. In late fall, we professionally tarp our furniture to protect it from winter weather. Please refrain from removing the tarps from the furniture as this incurs additional charges to have it re-tarped. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain the outdoor area for all guests to enjoy. We want you to enjoy your stay and feel at home, but please understand that any violation of our policies may result in additional charges. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in keeping our home in great condition for all of our guests. We look forward to hosting you. RESTAURANTS Looking for some delicious eats?
