Sea-renity Bodega - Bodega Bay

* You must be 25 years of age to rent this home. All Guests must e-sign the Host's Rental Agreement for insurance purposes within 24 hours of making a reservation. The Rental Agreement must include a valid residential address and a working personal phone number.
* Maximum of 8 people staying overnight without any additional charges. You can have up to 6 additional visitors during the day (7am-10pm), but no parties, no guests after 10 PM, and no commercial filming.
* Check-in after 4:00 PM. We will provide you with a door lock code a few days in advance.
* Check-out by 11:00 AM. Before you leave, please load and run the dishwasher, close the windows, and lock the sliding glass doors. Please leave the beds unmade, and dirty towels in the tub or shower. Housekeeping will take care of laundering linens and trash.
* Timely checkout is imperative to allow adequate time between guests for thorough housekeeping and to avoid impacting another guest's experience. For this reason, without pre-approval, departing 1 hour after checkout time incurs a $150 fee. After 2 hours, the guest is responsible for the base nightly rate as a penalty, plus any costs or refunds associated with displacing the next guest.
* HOA quiet hours are from 10 PM until 7 AM. Please respect the serenity of the community and bring the festivities indoors during those hours. We love our neighbors. Please be considerate, respectful, and courteous.
* The cleaning fee covers standard cleaning of the home, laundering the bedding and towels, and trash removal. If excessive cleaning is required, or damages occur, there will be an appropriate additional charge. No glitter or confetti!
* This is a smoke-free home. Absolutely NO SMOKING or VAPING of any kind (including tobacco or marijuana) inside the house or garage, as well as the outside area surrounding the property. If smoke is detected inside the home, you will be charged for excessive cleaning, odor removal, and damage to linens or furnishings, plus any costs or refunds associated with displacing the next guest.
* Pets are not permitted. We follow the ADA definition and requirements for Service Animals, which must be disclosed prior to arrival. There will be a $500 charge for each unapproved animal, plus additional cleaning costs and damages.
* Please keep all food items in the kitchen, dining room, or living room. Please refrain from taking food to other rooms in the house.
* We are out in nature and there are wild animals such as raccoons in the area. All outside trash must be in the shed for the cans, or it will be spread across the property by the crafty raccoons.
* Since we are in a natural coastal area with lots of wildlife, it is normal to see the occasional bug or insect in the house. They may enter through an open door or window. Most of our Guests find the home appealing for its proximity to nature. However, we cannot control mother nature, and therefore, do not refund if you encounter nature during your stay.
* Please make sure babies and children do not climb the stairs without supervision or play in the loft unattended.
* Both indoors and outdoors there are several areas with steps. Please use caution.
* Do not move furniture, or remove items from the house.
* White towels are for indoor bathroom use. Colored towels are for outdoor beach and hot tub use. Makeup wipes are provided in each bathroom. Cleaning cloths are in the hall utility closet. Please do not take the white towels to the beach. Don’t use white towels to clean your makeup, boots, golf clubs, tires, or other items that will stain them.
* There are a few locked cabinets and a garage refrigerator that contain the personal property of the owners for when they use the home. Please leave them alone.
* We cannot be responsible for utility service interruptions that are outside of our control such as power, internet or cell services. Cell service in particular can be inconsistent in coastal areas.
* Use the hot tub at your own risk. Please rinse off sand and empty your swimsuit pockets of sand before entering the hot tub. Do not use any body oils or scented additives or foaming agents in the water. In the event the water is found contaminated in any way after your departure, you will be charged to cover the cost of draining and cleaning the hot tub. Never sit or stand on the hot tub cover ($600+ to replace the cover). NEVER leave children unattended in the hot tub. All efforts are made to ensure hot tubs are in good working order at all times. Due to our remote location and the difficulty in securing parts in a timely manner, we cannot guarantee the function of a hot tub. No monetary adjustment will be made for its failure.
* As is common with many homes and vacation rental properties, we have installed on-site devices for your security. These may include security alarms, exterior motion sensors, outdoor facing cameras (which do record voices), and decibel meters (which do not record voices). For your privacy, we do not have any cameras inside the house, nor any cameras that can see the spa.
