Beautifully Updated 5 BR with Pool on Beach!

Guests will agree to the below home rental rules & agreement along with the HOA rules upon booking. Breaking any of these rules will result in additional cleaning fees or termination of your reservation. I have never had to do either so please be mindful of these commonsense rules.

RENTAL RULES & AGREEMENT

A. Occupancy: Guest agrees that no more than twelve [12] persons shall be permitted to stay on the Property at any time during the Rental Term, all of whom shall comply with the conditions and restrictions imposed upon Guest under this Agreement.

B. Minimum Age: The “Minimum Age” to rent the Property is 25 years of age. You agree to provide us with proof of age upon request. A parent or legal guardian must accompany all guests who are under the Minimum Age for the entire duration of the rental. This is an HOA rule.

C. Renter Responsibility: As the Guest, you agree to be an occupant of the property that you have rented for the duration of the rental period.
