HOUSE RULES
TV AND PASSWORDS: The internet password is on the refrigerator. YouTube TV is available and does NOT need to be signed out of. There are many other apps on the smart TV that you may log into and use your own accounts. Please log out of your PERSONAL accounts upon leaving the Sea Star.

A/C AND HEATER USAGE: Do NOT open windows and doors with the THERMOSTAT ON during your stay. If this occurs, expect to be charged an additional $50 for electricity usage during your stay. If you want to enjoy the outside weather, turn the unit OFF entirely during your stay. If it is humid, please do not open windows because the salt air and humidity will damage the electronics.

SMOKING: No smoking or vaping is allowed inside the unit. Smoking is only allowed outside on the front porch or in the back yard. You must use the smoke-out for the back yard. NO PAPER PRODUCTS IN THE SMOKE-OUT.

DAMAGES/EVENTS: Events, parties or gatherings (more than 10 due to Covid 19) are not permitted. Report any damages immediately to Kimberly.

NOISE: Please keep in mind that we are in a neighborhood and be considerate of LOUD noise. We recommend quiet time after 12 AM unless it's an event weekend. If you are staying during an event on the island, it can get loud. Be considerate of the upstairs guests when visiting out on the back deck. There is nothing to absorb the sound directly into the bedroom upstairs. No ball throwing or chasing animals inside the unit.

TRASH: All boxes MUST be broken down and should be left in the unit. Take all other trash and perishable items to the green trash can WITH A TEAL LID on the left side of the house. Bag ALL Trash. Trash day is once a week on Thursday morning. If you are staying during this time, you must put the green garbage can in the street late Wednesday.

KITCHEN: No fish in freezer or refrigerator. Please use your own ice chest for fish or shellfish. You must also take the fish and shellfish out nightly to the trash. There is an additional cleaning fee of $50 for your stay for not following this rule.

DISHES: Wash dishes that were used during your stay. If not cleaned properly, a $25 fee will be deducted from your deposit. Dishes will be inspected by the cleaning crew after your departure. You may leave them on the drying rack and mat.

BEACH ITEMS: A few beach towels are provided. If used, wash and dry the beach towels. Feel free to use them, but return them where and in the condition in which you found them.

SAND: An outdoor shower with hot and cold water is provided to rinse feet, toys, pets, etc. Please shake off any items outside if placing in washer.

PETS: Doggos must potty OUTSIDE only. If your pet ruins the floor or you do not clean up any accidents immediately, expect to be charged. Let us know if there were any accidents so we can treat the floors. Pet items are to be cleaned and returned to the bucket. Instructions and fees are on the wall above the bucket.

Please be a respectful dog owner. You must pick up their waste and must use covers for the couch if any animal is brought with you. Some guests are not bringing animals and would like a pet hair-free experience.

FURNITURE: Do not eat on the living room furniture. If you need to move furniture, please put it back. Do not place throw pillows in an area that will get fur and dirt on them. Please place them up on furniture or in the closet.

BATHROOM: DO NOT flush tampons, diapers or wipes down the toilets.

INSIDE TOWELS: Do NOT take the white bathroom towels to the beach.

GRILL: A Nexgrill gas grill is located in the backyard. Please return all grill equipment to the proper location inside to protect them from elements. Clean grill after each use and turn the tank to the CLOSED position on the tank valve. There is an additional cleaning fee of $50 for your stay for not following this rule.

Occasionally, the grill will be out of propane. It's $15 exchange price at Kroger's for the propane.

ART LIGHTS IN KITCHEN: You may LOOK but don’t touch. You’ll be paying to have them restrung. If you think your pet or child will be apt to touch the lights you can hook them up on the nail to get them out of the way.

LAUNDRY: The dryer is gas and needs to vent; please leave light on while using the dryer so the exhaust fan turns on and crack the door to the interior of house. This will prevent any smells from building up in the laundry area.

NOTE FOR CLEANING: Cleaning crew often has limited time due to one-day turnarounds. There is an excessive cleaning fee for anything beyond the normal turnover (floor cleaning, wipe down, linens, restocking, sanitizing, etc.)

If you are rinsing in the outdoor shower, you should not need to sweep up.
If the checkout instructions are not followed and it takes additional time (an hour or more) to clean the unit from pets, spill, and/or excessive sand or debris, please expect to be charged an additional cleaning fee of $50 for your stay.
