You're welcome to use anything on the premises: food, spices, condiments, coffee, tea, etc. Plan on packing Beach Towels and your personal toiletry items, as our Bath Towels are not allowed off-premises.

CHILDREN: ARE TO BE SUPERVISED BY ADULTS AT ALL TIMES. The house’s main living area is on the 2nd floor. Parents need to know that the 3rd floor loft spiral staircase railings are widely spaced 7.5" apart, as is the 2nd story upstairs deck with8.5" spacing in the deck railing, where a small child can crawl between them and fall. The deck can be hot to the feet; please use flip-flops or shoes. For **SAFETY** reasons, this house MAY NOT BE the most appropriate place for your vacation if you have young or rambunctious children. There are childproof locks on all lower kitchen cabinets, and on all dining room and bath cabinets, a baby gate to seal off the kitchen, & safety rail netting located in the linen closet that you can use to tie onto the spiral staircase rails if you’d like. Upon your request, we can leave out an oak high chair and a detachable built-in white iron baby gate attached to the main staircase, but none of the attempted baby-proofing takes the place of vigilance in regard to watching your children. Use it all at your own risk. Please be advised that you are making the reservation with the above knowledge and are here to agree to hold the owner harmless with no liability.

CLEANING REQUIREMENTS: The property will be inspected & sanitized after your departure. The sanitization fee you have paid will provide for normal sanitizing of the bed linens, bathrooms, and flooring, & disinfecting of the kitchen and baths. ***Please Plan on washing & drying all dirty towels & dishes the night before your final departure, so you’ll only have a small load from your final morning bath and breakfast to leave drying in the dryer or dishwasher before you depart.***

You should leave the property in the same general condition that you received it, except that you do not make the beds, launder bed linens, or clean the floors or bathrooms. ***The BBQ Grill and Kitchen MUST BE LEFT CLEAN, including all recycling bin & trash compactor contents discarded into the garage garbage bins located at the garage exterior. There is a quick final check-off list on the kitchen scale for what to do before your final departure. The propane BBQ grill is only for guests familiar with its safe usage. Use at your own risk.

You can leave your last compactor bag inside the downstairs entry before you vacate, already compacted by the trash compactor.

IMPORTANT: Absolutely no pets are allowed. Per our rental contract, this breach, or th e breaches of the NO SMOKING ANYWHERE ON THE PREMISES, or the allowing of different Occupants to enter the beach house other than those listed on the contract, will constitute an automatic forfeiture of your security deposit, as the Cost to Cure will supersede your deposit amount.
