Rental Rules
You would think it was common sense to not turn the hot tub into a bubble bath. You would also think it was common sense to not climb on the roof. We have seen both happen. And so now we have rules. The rules don't just protect you and the property, they make sure that the next guests' experience is a great one. If a previous guest breaks something, it may mean the next guests will not have the use of it. With only a 6 hour window to make everything ready, we just don't have the ability to correct serious damage caused by previous guests.
Please read and share the rules outlined in our rental agreement with all your guests, even your children. Everyone has different house rules and because not everyone has a pool and spa, they may not know that certain behaviors can cause damage. To find a copy of our house rules check-out the link below.
If you are ever in doubt about the reason or validity of a rule, contact us. We may be able to clarify and explain.
Beach and County Rules
The beach has rules too. The beach is so beautiful and the rules are meant to help keep it that way. They are also there to protect the wildlife. The entire beach is a nationally protected area. You will see beach patrol and national park rangers. They are there to enforce the rules. Fines can be huge and some violations can result in jail time. Rules that protect endangered and protected animals are federal offenses and are take quite seriously. Locals and visitors alike often turn in violators and video is not uncommon to prove the violators were at fault. The rule most overlooked are about filling in holes to protect nesting turtles, walking on the dunes, and leaving things on the beach, including trash. Here is a quick reference to find more information on ours or the beaches rules.
Water Safety
Rules regarding the pool and hot tub are there to protect you and your family as well as to protect expensive equipment. We have had guests ruin the pool liner by pole vaulting with a skimmer pole, making the hot tub unusable for their entire stay by putting a bath bomb in the hot tub and more. Following the rules can mean not just avoiding expensive repairs, but saving a life. Remember all children should be supervised at all times. Especially with a pool and hot tub around.
