Guests and Visitors must keep noise to a minimum so as not to disturb the occupants of neighboring properties – especially during nighttime hours (e.g. 9pm – 7am), and upon arrival and departure.

There is plenty of driveway parking available on the property. Please do not park on the street and do not block the fire hydrant under any circumstances. The property owner accepts no responsibility for losses or fines incurred as a result.

Weapons Policy:

Weapons, including firearms, are NOT permitted at the property without prior disclosure to and consent from the host. Occasionally, guests may forget to remove a weapon upon departure from a property. This becomes a safety and liability issue. If a guest brings a weapon onto the property, the host can cancel the booking immediately without reimbursement. In the event of this happening and if weapons are left behind at the property, the authorities will be called to retrieve them and it will be up to the guest to figure out how to get their property back. You and you alone are liable and responsible for any and all harm done to property or persons caused by any weapons brought onto the premises by any persons during your stay.

Pets:

It is our pleasure to allow dogs only on a case by case basis. No other animals are accepted. Two (2) dogs maximum only. Dogs must be under 30 pounds. There is a $35 fee per dog, per night, with a monthly cap at $210. Dogs must be fully potty trained and must not be allowed on furniture. Do not allow your dogs to lay on our beds or linens. Please bring a personal blanket for them to sleep on.

We have provided dog water and food bowls, disposable dog towels, and a dog playpen for your convenience. Do not dry your dogs with our towels. Please pick up after your dogs and crate them if you have to leave them alone for any amount of time. Even well-behaved dogs can become anxious when left alone in new surroundings and may cause damage by chewing and scratching. Dog guests must be leashed outside of the home.

Smoking:

Strictly no smoking or drug usage in the home or on the premises. Disposal of butts in the bushes or grassed area is absolutely prohibited. The owner reserves the right to charge a minimum of $250 to rid the home of any smoke smell, and charge for any cleaning and/or damages incurred by smoking or carelessly discarded butts or drug paraphernalia.

Parties:

Beautiful Memories Getaways and Airbnb have a NO parties policy. In addition to this, absolutely no glitter or confetti! If you use glitter, there will be a $250 cleaning fee on top of the normal cleaning fee.

Visitors & Events:

Strictly registered guests only. No unregistered visitors are permitted, and the property may not be used as the base for a party under any circumstances. Failure to comply will result in guests being asked to leave, additional cleaning costs being charged, and guests being reported to Airbnb, VRBO, etc.

Garbage and Recycling:

To help us avoid unwanted pests we do ask as a courtesy to please dispose of food waste. This includes loading dirty dishes and starting the dishwasher, and removing food waste from the home. Guests are requested to remove the trash and recycling and place them outside in the designated receptacle/bin area at the side of the home during their stay and when they leave the property at the end of their stay.

IMPORTANT:

The owner reserves the right to terminate permission to occupy and to evict from the rental, any guests or visitors who refuse to follow these House Rules or who cause a nuisance to neighbors or other residents of the community.

All damages and breakages must be reported as soon as reasonably practicable. Failure to report them will likely result in additional fees. To avoid damages and breakages, no furniture is to be moved from one room to another without prior agreement.

Premier Amenities:

This property includes premium or luxury amenities that carry additional obligations, rules, and liabilities for our guests. These premier amenities include a hot tub, charcoal grill, and fire pit.

Fire Pit:

We have provided a wood burning fire pit for our guests' enjoyment. This is a no lighter fluid and no propane property. If you would like to use the fire pit, remember to pick up some firewood at a local grocery or convenience store as firewood is not currently provided. Fire starters are provided.

Please make sure the fire dies before leaving the fire pit unattended. Use water to extinguish the flames if necessary.

Charcoal Barbecue Grill:

If you would like to use the grill, remember to bring charcoal as it is not provided. A charcoal chimney and fire starters are provided in the property with instructions on how to use them. The chimney starter is a safer alternative than lighter fluid. These items can be found in the bottom left cabinet in the king bedroom. Grilling utensils are in the kitchen bottom drawer next to the stove.

Hot Tub:

Providing a premier luxury amenity such as our Hydropool Self-Cleaning hot tub for our guests' enjoyment is an extreme pleasure of ours.

You will find the key to open both sides of the hot tub cover and water testing strips in the drawer to the right of the television in the king bedroom. Please test the water to make sure it is balanced before usage.

You will find pool towels in the cabinet below this drawer.

***The water will be tested and balanced prior to your stay. If the hot tub becomes inoperable or unsuitable for usage during your stay we will offer a 10% refund of your nightly rental fee, for each day the hot tub is unavailable during your stay due to our inability or mechanical failures.

We do not offer refunds for bad weather, acts of god, or for user error or negligence caused by you or your guests. If you or your guests misuse or cause the water to become dirty during your stay, you will be charged a minimum $150 draining and refill cost. Because we have a top of the industry self-cleaning hot tub, we only have to regularly refill every other month, quarterly, or if necessary. If anything you or your guests have done to damage the mechanical systems in the hot tub, you will be responsible for service calls, repair, and/or replacement costs.

We will make commercially reasonable efforts to have mechanical (water, heat, electric, and plumbing) and appliance failures (including the hot tub) corrected as soon as possible but cannot control the scheduling of outside service contractors.***

10. Unlock and unhook all clips before folding and removing hot tub cover. Store hot tub cover behind hot tub during usage.

11. Check the chemical strip yourself before getting in to be sure the pH and bromine levels are at the recommended levels. If not, or if the water looks murky or slimy, don’t get in. Alert us.

12. We use bromine as a sanitizer for the water. Do not add any other chemicals such as bleach, chlorine, or other spa, or pool chemicals. If the water becomes imbalanced during your stay, we will attempt to send someone out to check it out and treat it. The only chemicals or substances you should ever add to the spa are bromine tablets into the spa floater, or small increments of water, and only at the advising of your host. Do not attempt to add water to the spa without host consent, as adding water will affect the chemical balance.

13. Check the temperature of the water. Do not get in if it is over 104˚.

14. Stay hydrated before getting into the hot tub.

15. Shower off particles, oils, cosmetics, hair gels, etc…with soap and thoroughly rinse off before getting into the hot tub. 16. Do not apply lotions, sunscreens, or creams or oils before getting into the hot tub. Any of these substances will dirty the water and create an imbalance of chemicals that keep the hot tub water clean and safe for all guests.

17. Do not wear jewelry in the hot tub.

18. DO NOT put oils, bath bombs, bubbles, food, drinks, glitter, confetti, dirt, sand, or any other foreign substance in the hot tub at any time.

21. It is advised to limit your soak in the hot tub to no more than 15 minutes at a time. Before re-entering the hot tub, make sure you have cooled off. If you overheat and faint, you can drown.

22. Keep your head, arms, and upper chest out of the water to avoid overheating.

23. DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL or USE DRUGS before or during hot tub use. Being intoxicated and overheating can cause you to blackout and/or drown.

25. Do not place towels or clothing items into the hot tub.

28. Replace and lock the hot tub after every use! DO NOT leave the hot tub unlocked or unattended, ESPECIALLY if children are present! This is a physical safety issue to prevent drowning and to prevent depletion of spa chemicals, which result in unsafe water balance.

29. I further agree and warrant that if, at any time, I feel or think anything to be unsafe, I and all guests will immediately leave the area and advise my host.

30. LAST ONE! Enjoy yourself and make beautiful memories! :-)
