OTHER DETAILS TO NOTE:

We respect your privacy! There are no interior cameras. We do have a doorbell camera at each exterior door for your safety and for the security of our home. Please do not tamper with these devices - it is a violation of house rules. Thank you.

** EXTREMELY IMPORTANT - READ BELOW **

- DO NOT GO ONTO THE PRIVATE PROPERTIES OWNED BY OUR NEIGHBORS - THESE ARE THEIR HOMES -

As a host, I feel entirely ridiculous even having to include this section within our listing.

You are welcome to use our property, enjoy walking throughout the private roads of Lancelot Shores, and even use the community beaches and boat ramp.

We’re lucky to be in a peaceful, close-knit neighborhood, and maintaining strong relationships with our neighbors is a big part of what makes our home and this community special.

For over 99.9% of our guests - this is obvious and not an issue. Unfortunately, for the 0.1% of guests who haven't quite understood this, it has caused a problem with our immediate neighbors, and they let us know EVERY TIME someone violates this rule.

That’s where you come in.

We ask—firmly and respectfully—that guests do not set foot on any neighboring property for any reason.

This includes:

** The yard and beach across the street (no sitting, walking, or passing through)

** Launching kayaks, paddleboards, or other watercraft from the private beach across the street. That is their yard - please don't even ask them if it's ok.

** Swimming or entering the water from any neighboring beach

** Using any garbage or recycling bins that are not on this property

** Taking photos or wandering onto lawns, driveways, or shared paths

Some neighboring properties have security cameras and will contact us immediately if guests trespass, even briefly. Their cameras are motion-sensored.

We know this may feel strict, but it’s part of being a great guest in our shared community.

If you have any questions about boundaries or access points, just ask—we’re happy to help. Our property lines should be fairly obvious, as are the ones for our neighbors as you navigate within our community.

Renting our home constitutes that you have read and understood this policy.

Unfortunately, if you violate this policy, you may be asked to leave without a refund for the remainder of your stay.

Thanks for your understanding and for helping us keep the peace.
