THIRD PARTY RENTALS Third party rentals are prohibited (the primary renter must be onsite throughout the rental). TRAVEL PROTECTION REMINDER There are plans available for purchase on Airbnb and elsewhere that may reimburse you if you have a travel delay, or if other circumstances occur. While hosts are not involved in that element of guest plans, we do want to remind you to consider looking into Travel Protection. Please be sure to read the fine print - some insurance companies are not covering COVID related cancellations, because it is seen as a “foreseeable circumstance.” Guest access Guests have private use of the entire home (3BR), pool, hot tub (with refundable fee), yard, and driveway. This is a single family home, with no other rental spaces or residences on the property.
