House rules:
Guests must be 25 years or older to book. No smoking or family pets allowed.
We ask that people rinse off when coming back from the beach. We adore the sand just like everybody, but unfortunately, sand and drain pipes don't always get along. No events or huge gatherings.
Street parking is not allowed. You can park on the grassy area in front of the home if needed. You can fit roughly 5-6 cars in the driveway and grassy area.
We strongly suggest purchasing trip insurance. Life happens and it's good to have a backup plan. Please review our cancelation policy before booking.
