REFUNDS & TRAVEL INSURANCE:
All guests are encouraged to get travel insurance, as there are no refunds issued. Travel insurance compensates you for trip costs and money you spend due to unforeseen events before and during your trip. This is especially important during hurricane season and to protect you from any unforeseen event.

PETS, INCLUDING SERVICE ANIMALS:
This is a pet-free property due to allergies. Unfortunately, due to severe, documented allergies within our household, we are unable to accomodate pets or service animals at this property. This is not a preference but a health and safety necessity since we too use this property as our personal vacation home.

AGE & SAFETY POLICY:
Our property is designed and equipped for adult and teen guests. Due to safety considerations - including the pool, hot tub, stairs, elevated decks, and cleaning products - the home is NOT suitable for infants or children under 13 years of age. Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and enjoyable retreat.

Thanks for understanding!
