Mother Nature’s creatures both great and small also reside in the area in which our home is situated. We subscribe to regularly scheduled pest control services so our guests can have an enjoyable stay. Despite measures we have taken to keep the home free of such events, it is not uncommon to have a stray visitor come into the house through an open door or window even if left ajar for a brief moment. While we cannot be held responsible for encounters with pests or wildlife inside or outside the home, if notified immediately of such an occurrence, arrangements can be made to accordingly try to address the issue. No refunds will be offered for these encounters. Property has 3 motion-activated exterior security cameras (at driveway, front door, and backyard/pool area) and decibel monitoring sensors inside and outside of the home to ensure neighborhood noise levels are respected.
