Pet Policy:
This pet policy applies to dogs. We only accept dogs as pet guest. No cats please.

Some of our properties do not allow pets. Regardless of whether the property is a no-pet home or a pet-friendly home, if there is evidence of an undeclared pet during or after a renter’s stay, that renter is subject to a $250.00 fine.

Renters with approved pet guests in their party are subject to the following rules:
* There is a $50 pet fee per pet.
* Pets are not allowed on furniture, beds or in hot tub if available. Pet fur or hair is difficult to remove from upholstery and bedding. If your pet has a habit of getting on furniture then bring along a covering for furniture to protect the fabric from pet hair.

The renter is responsible for any damage inside or out caused by the pet. If damage is such that it cannot be removed or repaired to its original condition, then renter agrees to pay the full amount of that item.
* The renter agrees if there is reasonable cause to believe an emergency situation exists with respect to the pet and if efforts to contact the renter are unsuccessful, the rental manager or agents may contact the local animal control authority and assist its staff in entering the vacation rental.
