We have created this house rules sheet to preserve the integrity of your stay and future stays while also respecting the home and neighborhood! Following these rules will greatly help us as Vacation Rental hosts by making sure the home is taken care of during your stay. We understand that people are not a “one size fits all” category, so please reach out to us with any questions or concerns in this document. COMMUNICATION IS KEY!!!!

Mi casa, tu casa! But you wouldn’t intentionally damage or mess up your home, would you? We ask that you treat our property as if it was your very own as well! Please be aware of the condition of items in the house, and if you happen to notice anything broken when you arrive, please contact us ASAP to let us know.
We also ask that you please watch noise levels at night. We love our neighbors! They’re nice, we’re nice to them, and we hope you are nice to them too! Noise ordinances for quiet time in the city/neighborhood are at 10pm, so please respect these rules.

Check-out time is 11am. Late checkouts are based on availability and an additional fee of $50/per hour. Unless otherwise authorized by us, please give us a 24-hour notice for late checkout requests or if you would like to extend your stay with us. Please keep in mind that we will try our best to accommodate these requests however we cannot make any guarantees that we will be able to honor your request. Any guest who stays after the 11am checkout time without requesting it from us previously or stays despite having their request denied will still be charged $50/per hour and will be forced to vacate. Should we experience any cancellations or losses in our calendar arising from any check out related complications from you or any guests, you will be charged for the next booking.

*Upon checking out, please make sure that our house looks reasonably neat- just like the way you found it. Although we pride ourselves on cleanliness, we do not expect you to scrub it clean but it must be reasonably “picked up” and furniture placed as it was at check-in.
*Make sure to collect all personal belongings. Check all closets, drawers, and cabinets. We are not responsible for any items left behind.


Security
When you leave the property and at night, please make sure all doors are locked and secured. Even though our home is in a safe neighborhood, we take the safety of our guests very seriously. Our security protocol includes 8 outdoor cameras and 4 doorbell cameras. The cameras are located around the entire perimeter of the building. There are no cameras inside the units. Since this is a multiplex building and there are a total of 4 units, each front door has a doorbell camera.
Please note: These devices are not meant to micro-manage our guests. We do not have time to monitor or watch your every move. It is solely there to monitor any suspicious activity that will trip the alarms and cause us concern. In which case, we will check on the safety of our guests immediately.

Parking
THERE IS ONLY 1 PARKING SPACE AVAILABLE ON THE PROPERTY FOR THIS UNIT. It's a multiplex, so there will be a total of 5 parking spaces for all 4 units. This unit has 1. All others have 1 as well except for the 1st unit which has 2. Please DO NOT PARK on the grass, street, or on any neighbor’s property. No on-street parking is allowed.

Guest Interaction
We love to meet and greet all guests when possible. However, in today’s world, we understand that most people would rather skip the pleasantries. Because of this, we offer self-check-in with a door code. Please keep in mind that we have the right to ask for ID, the credit card used for booking, or other forms of proof of identity and payment. We may also ask guests to present an ID. As long as your guests can confirm trip details, they too can reach out to us with any questions and concerns.

Guest Access
All areas of the property are for guest use unless there is a lock on it. Please do not tamper with any locks on the property unless we give our permission. All monitoring devices are not to be tampered with. This includes our cameras. Any violation of the above rules can result in immediate termination of your stay.

Maximum Occupancy
The maximum number of guests is 4. However, we may be willing to accommodate additional guests for a fee of $40 per night per guest if we have the proper resources available. We cannot make any guarantees that we will be able to honor your request but please reach out to us prior to booking as we view this on a case-by-case basis.

Unauthorized Guests
Although we do not mind if you invite a friend or 2 over to visit, there are no unauthorized guests allowed to stay overnight past 12am. Please do not allow extra guests to sleep at the house unless it was previously agreed upon from us when you booked the rental. All overnight guests must be listed with the booking. Any unauthorized guests will result in a direct violation of our house rules, and we reserve the right to cancel the stay immediately without any refunds.

Parties & Events
While we are all about having a good time, WE STRICTLY PROHIBIT ANY PARTIES OR EVENTS. This is to preserve the quiet neighborhood we’re in. Keep the party for the Las Olas night scene. You can be as loud as you’d like there. Music must be kept to a non-disturbing level during quiet hours and any conversations should be had inside the house, not near the street, front entrance, communal, or even the patio areas. Please be mindful of the city-wide quiet hours from 10pm-8am and make sure that extra guests leave by 12am. We greatly appreciate your compliance on this as we do not want any issues with our neighbors or the city. Please understand that any reports or evidence of a party or organized event taking place will be an automatic forfeiture of your stay without a refund as you will be in direct violation of house rules.

Unruly Guests
We want everyone to have a good time in our home, but we have definitely had an experience with a large group that we gave multiple chances to, that still apologized to us and continued to turn around and be a nuisance to the property and our neighbors. Therefore, we have revised our rules to prevent an incident like that from ever repeating itself again.

Please be advised that at the first mention of any complaint, evidence of rule violation, noise disturbance, or any other unruly behavior will result in your FIRST & FINAL WARNING. If necessary, we will dispatch security to relay any warnings or the hosts will contact you directly. Please note that any costs associated with the dispatch of security will be charged to the guest. Upon the SECOND complaint, noise disturbance, or unruly behavior, your entire group will be asked to vacate the property as you are in direct violation of our house rules. Your group will have 30 minutes to an hour to gather your belongings and exit the premises. In this process, we may invoke the assistance of local law enforcement officers.

Common Concerns
By booking this home, you acknowledged that scuff marks on the wall do not constitute as an unclean/unsanitary home or a misleading/altered representation of the images online. We do have our house managers scheduled monthly to come out and retouch the paint, however, in between this timeframe, it is possible for other guests to create new scuff marks in the home.


You further acknowledge, that the hot tub/pool (if applicable) may have sand minor debris inside. The hot tubs get drained every couple of weeks and as our guests typically enjoy the nearby beaches, sand is a typical occurrence in these areas. Pools are serviced with chemicals and provided a clean weekly, sometimes this can cause blurry water that typical clears in a few hours. The hot tubs get checked for their chemical balance in between each clean and added the proper chemicals accordingly. They get drained and refilled every two weeks. Fort Lauderdale water does have a yellow tint to it, so sometimes the water will appear discolored. (Please review the Manual Section Under “YELLOW WATER” for more information

Toilets
Part of being in Florida is understanding the sensitive nature of plumbing in a tropical environment. Pipes can clog easily and lots of homes are on septic systems. PLEASE DO NOT FLUSH PAPER TOWELS, TAMPONS, WIPES OF ANY SORT (NOT EVEN “FLUSHABLE” ONES), SANITARY NAPKINS, OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN TOILET PAPER.
