[MANAGEMENT RULES]

1) Vacation rental properties undergo wear and tear due to heavy use. While we strive to provide a clean and comfortable environment, we may have limitations, and perfection isn't guaranteed. Homeowners schedule repairs like carpet cleaning, yard work, and cosmetic fixes during the off-season to minimize disruption to guests. Please report any safety concerns or issues immediately, and we appreciate feedback to address concerns reasonably. All properties are inspected before arrival, and any damages must be reported upon check-in to avoid responsibility for the repair costs.
