Violation of this rule will result in cancellation of the reservation, eviction without notice and forfeiture of all rental monies. All homes are NON-SMOKING; the decks are designated smoking areas. Please dispose of cigarette butts properly; this does not mean leaving them in the yard or on decks or porches.

You should not expect compensation or relocation because you do not like the property or a particular amenity is not operating to your satisfaction. We do not operate in the same way that a hotel does, therefore we cannot relocate you without proper approval from the homeowner.
