Backyard & Water Access Disclaimer:
We’ve made some big updates in the backyard!
We now have direct water access with a newly installed dock, plus added hammocks, extra chairs, and tables so you can relax and enjoy the space even more.
If you’d like to use the hammock and some outdoor games, they are located in the laundry room for your convenience.
The laundry room has also been improved and clearly labeled for easier access during your stay.
Please note these areas are for use at your own risk, as no lifeguard or supervision is provided. Children must be supervised at all times around the water.
All water access and related activities are used at your own risk, and surfaces may be uneven or slippery.
The property owner and management cannot be held responsible for any injuries, accidents, or damages that may occur while using these spaces.
We recommend bringing your own firewood so you can fully enjoy the outdoor fire pit during your stay. Firewood can also typically be purchased at nearby gas stations or from local vendors along the road.
This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $37 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.
To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.
Due to the time needed to adequately clean the unit, we are not able to offer early check-in or late check-out. Please book an extra night if you would like to guarantee an early check- in or a late check- out.
If an unauthorized event occurs, a $500 fee will be charged. No parties or events are allowed, per VRBO policy.
DISCOUNTS
We run last-minute bookings, midweek specials and long-stay discounts.
If you have any questions, just message us anytime! Happy to help!
