“HIGHLY RECOMMEND PURCHASING THE CANCELLATION INSURANCE” We have a no refund policy. If you must cancel and the property is re-booked, a refund will be issued less 20% and any fees charged us by VRBO (the 20% will be from the nightly rate, VRBO holds all other money and would be responsible for all other refunds.)

If renting more than 10 nights, please inquire to confirm exact quote as the cleaning fee listed is for 10 or less nights, 10-15 nights the cleaning fee is $300.

New split system heat pumps provide air conditioning in the two master bedrooms and living/kitchen. The smaller bedroom does not have air conditioning.

If you are looking for a very clean rental, this is for you. However, we expect it to be kept neat and orderly and the check out list must be followed. (For example: Clean and dry your dishes, wash your towels, wipe down the kitchen and leave it with the full respect of how you found it.) A check out list is attached for your approval prior to booking. Please make sure you are willing to complete the list before you book as the "cleaning fee" is used to prepare the house for your arrival and your needs, not as a maid service upon departure.
