When you book our property, we will text, message, or email you the code to your identified contact preference - 2 hours prior to your arrival.   This will give you access to the front door of the property.   Additionally, names & ages of each guest are required in advance of your arrival; make/model of your vehicle(s) are required upon arrival.   Maximum Occupancy of both persons and vehicles is enforced.  

We do not allow birds (including parrots), reptiles, livestock, fish or any other exotic animals in any of our properties at any time - regardless of being designated as pet friendly.  

Please be aware - when you bring in all of your groceries and load up the refrigerator - it is going to take time to cool everything back down!  Make sure you do not block the vent that brings in the air-flow.  The more full the refrigerator is - the harder it is to keep everything cool.  It needs unrestricted air-flow & circulation to be able to keep everything to the appropriate temperature.  Once you put everything in - please wait a minimum of 4 hours before reaching out that there is an issue.  We won't be able to do anything until that much time has already passed since you inserted your items.  Thank You!

Guests are not authorized to perform, schedule or coordinate any repairs to anything at the property during their stay.  Any issues that arise where maintenance or repairs are needed will be coordinated by the host only.
