SMOKING
Our vacation home is strictly smoke-free. Smoking and vaping are not allowed anywhere on the property and can cause damage that may require more extensive clean up due to odor, soot, trash, and the possibility of fire. Any violations of this will result in loss of entire security deposit.

Onsite parking is available for three cars, one of which is covered under the carport. Please review and adhere to the parking map below. Parking on the street or grass is strictly prohibited by the City of Fort Lauderdale and may result in fines. Guests will be responsible for all such fines.
SWIMMING POOL
Please note that this vacation rental has a swimming pool on property. By booking this vacation rental, guests are agreeing to assume all liability with respect to use of the pool and that the host is not liable for any incidents related to the pool. Any children in the home should be closely monitored and access to the pool should be controlled at all times by an adult. There are pool alarms installed on all doors and windows with access to the pool. If you do have small children, please double-check that the pool alarms are working properly immediately upon your arrival.

PET POLICY
We love our furry family members! However, for the sake of all guests, we do not allow pets of any kind in our home.
We understand service animals are not the same as pets and serve a crucial function for their owner. Only dogs are recognized as service animals under Titles II and III of the ADA. Under the ADA, service dogs must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered (unless the guest has no use of their hands for control of the leash). The host should be notified at the time of booking if service animals will be staying in the home.
EATING AREAS
We kindly ask to keep all food and drink to the designated eating areas especially for anyone under the age 12.
PLUMBING
To avoid plumbing issues, please flush only toilet paper. Do not throw paper towels, feminine hygiene products, wipes, or trash in the toilet.
SECURITY
Please note that the house is equipped with a video doorbell camera that records all activities in the front of the house. This is for the safety and security of our guests and our home. Disabling or tampering with the camera is strictly prohibited and is grounds for immediate cancellation of the remainder of your reservation with no refund. Also, both fence gates are to remain locked at all times for safety and security reasons. If you should need to open the gate for some reason, please message the owners.
DAMAGE AND BREAKAGE
Accidents happen. Please report any damages or breakages to the host in a timely manner so that we can repair the situation as soon as possible. Any associated costs will come out of the security deposit. To avoid more extensive damage, please do not move furniture.

Pursuant to Code of Ordinances for the City of Fort Lauderdale Section 16-127, this vacation home is within 1,400 feet of a school, and therefore it is unlawful for a sexual offender or sexual predator to occupy this residence.
