1) Reservations: In order to secure property
you must return this entire form signed and 50% of total payment within 10 days
of making reservation. The remaining
balance is due 30 days prior to arrival. If final payment is made with
less than 30 days before rental please add a $20 late fee (with the exception
of last minute rental that occurs within 30 days of rental). Returned checks will result in cancellation
of rental and a $20 fee.
2) Security Deposit: The security deposit is $500.00. The security deposit may be retained due to
damage to the property by renter and/or their guests, unwarranted service
calls, long distant calls (which includes long distance internet connections)or any violation of this contract. The security deposit will be returned within
30 days unless otherwise a written letter with a full explanation of why and
how much was retained.
3) Pets: No pets allowed without owners consent
(violation of not having prior approval will result in loss of entire security
deposit and renter must vacate property immediately due to contract
violation). Only well trained dogs will be allowed. There is a $50 per dog nonrefundable
fee. Pet must be leashed at all times
when not inside the fence. If the dog’s
behavior becomes a problem for the neighbors (example: barking, wandering etc),
the pet will need to be removed from the premises with no refund of the $50
fee. Should the dog damage or destroy
any property, other than the renter’s belongings, all or part of the security
deposit will be deducted. Please clean up dog feces from yard prior to
vacating the property, failure to cleanup will result in partial loss of
security deposit.
4) Cancellation policy: Cancellation will result in the loss of your
deposit unless the property has been rented for the same EXACT time frame.
5) Keys: You will be contacted via
email, roughly one week prior to your rental, about obtaining the key to the
house. If the keys are lost or the key
not properly returned to the lockbox (including changing the lockbox code), $50
will be deducted from the security
deposit.
6) Phone Calls: Any long distance calls must be charged on
your charge card. Any long distance
calls charged on owners’ phone bill will be charged a fee of $25.00 in addition
to the cost of the call. This includes
long distance internet connections.

is before 10:00 am.
8) Cleaning: The house should be left reasonably clean
upon departure. Please load dishwasher and run before departure. Dish towels should be washed and dried (may
be left in drier). If there is a need for
excessive cleaning (ex. Carpet or upholstery steam cleaning) we will deduct
this from security deposit. In the event
of spills on carpets or furniture please use spot cleaner under the kitchen
sink or in hall linen closet.
9) Damages: Upon check in please inspect the house and
report any damages at this time. We want
you to have an enjoyable stay but please respect our property and take care of
it. Any damages will be subtracted from
security deposit.

the screened in portion of deck). Please

and privacy. Please do not cross
neighbor’s property to get to the boat ramp.

We do not have a trash service; the dump is just a few miles away. Be sure to remove all trash from premises at
the end of your stay. The directions to
the dump are in the rental info book.
Trash left on premises will result in a $50 deduction from security

breakdowns or malfunctions, but we will make the necessary repairs or
replacements just as soon as it is possible.
