In an effort to keep our properties in good condition and to maintain a peaceful presence within the neighborhood, we have a few rules in place. It is important to understand these, so please be sure to read the descriptions of each rule as well.



1) No parties, visitors, or unapproved guests are permitted. All guest names must be submitted prior to booking, and government-issued photo ID may be required for all adult guests.

Exceeding the approved occupancy may result in immediate termination of the stay to comply with local regulations and permit requirements.



2) No pets unless proof is provided that the pets are service pets. We, out of principle, do not allow any pets. However, due to the American Disabilities Act, we are required by law to accept service pets if a guest does in fact have a service pet.



3) No smoking, vaping, e-cigarettes, or similar products are allowed inside or outside the property due to the high brush fire zone. The home is equipped with hypersensitive smoke detectors that may automatically notify the fire department if triggered. Any false alarm caused by a violation of these rules will result in a $500 fee.
