cancellation fee will be issued if the reserved period 
can be rented. If the property can not be rented, 100% of the 
deposit will be forfeited regardless of reason. 
Failure of any payments due may result in the cancellation of 
reservation at our discretion. 
Sorry, no refunds will be provided for decreasing the length of 
stay or for early departure. Availability of lodging 
will determine if a stay can be extended.

other vehicles at all times. The maximum number of cars allowed 
in the driveway is 5.

CAPACITY: Each property has a specific maximum capacity 
and exceptions will not be made to exceed 
the stated capacity at any time. 
 
MISCELLANEOUS: Please let us know if any items are lost, 
broken or damaged in any way. Replacement or repair cost will be 
fairly adjusted from the security deposit based upon our 
determination of circumstances (item simply wore out per age of 
item, or damage was preventable).  
 
SMOKING IS ABSOLUTELY NOT ALLOWED. We ask that smoking of 
cigarettes, cigars, pipes, etc. be conducted outside of the 
house and that no trace of cigarette use be evident upon your 
departure. Thank you. 
 
Please leave your pets at home. 
 
Please remember to keep your voices and music levels to a 
minimum. In most instances, our accommodations 
are directly adjacent to other residential properties.  
Please respect our neighbors by not using profanity or behaving 
in any way that could be considered offensive to others. 
If you need to wash your beach towels or bathing suits, please 
shake out the sand prior to putting them in the washer and/or 
dryer.  
Please wash all sand off outside the house in the exterior 
showers or garden hoses provided. We suggest keeping a large 
bucket of water on the deck for scrubbing off beach sand before 
entering. (You’ll be amazed at how beach sand will travel to all 
rooms in the house if you don’t!) 
There is no land line at the home, so please bring your cell 
phones. 
When using the barbecue, please make sure it is far enough away 
from the house to prevent a fire, grease 
splattering and smoke getting in the house. Also, please 
remember to turn off the gas and clean and cover 
the grill after each use. 
The weekly garbage pick-up is early Monday morning. Please bring 
the garbage cans to the street on 
Sunday evening. 
 
We have worked very hard to provide the highest level of 
accommodations possible. Please help us by 
being careful with the properties and their furnishings. If you 
have any questions or should need help with 
anything, please call us: (269) 969-7779 or (269) 420-0224.
