To ensure your stay is 5-star quality (and for those after you) we ask that our house and its contents be respected throughout your visit. Accidents happen, and if they do, please notify us immediately. In the unlikely event that you experience any issues during your stay, we will do everything we can to address them accordingly, as soon as possible, but please remember that you are renting a house so there are no on-site maintenance personnel.
To provide a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone there are a few house rules that must be adhered to (by confirming your booking you agree to abide by these rules).
#1 - Check-in is after 4pm. We cannot accommodate for any early check-in's to allow our cleaners ample time to provide you with a thoroughly cleaned and sanitized cabin.

Be courteous and keep our community clean, please pick up after your pet. NO pets allowed on the furniture or beds. There is a pet blanket in the cabinet above the washer/dryer for your pet to lay on for comfort. Please wash after use for the next guest. There are also food and water bowls in the same cabinet for your use. Pets may not be left unattended in the house at any time. If they are left home alone they must be crated. I appreciate your cooperation with this.

#7 - Absolutely NO Smoking, Vaping, Drugs of any kind in the house! If you absolutely must smoke, please do so outside the house and use the ash bucket provided (by the grill) to keep the property and environment clean. If evidence of smoking is found in the house, you will be charged $750.

#11 - Absolutely no fires of any kind on the premises (including candles). Unauthorized fires will be charged $100 plus any additional damages.

#14 - Trash - There are 3 garbage bins, located under the house, for your use. Please do not throw trash over any deck or balcony as, aside from destroying the property and blowing into other yards, will attract bugs and animals. Please use the trash cans in the house and when full put the bag in the bins under the house. Please DO NOT put the trash bags on top or outside of the bins. Trash pick-up is Wednesdays and Saturdays from March - Labor Day and Mondays and Thursdays from September - February. Because trash pickups are only twice weekly, you may arrive with trash bags in the bins outside. You need not worry about the trash pick-up on your vacation, however, as I have a service that will take care of bringing the bins out to the road the night before and returning them under the house after pickup.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Relaxing family vacation
Property is the nicest beach house we have ever rented! Lots of beach chairs, wagon, bath & beach towels all included. Everything is updated and super clean. Teens loved the rec area setup under the house in the evenings. Robyn is a fantastic host with excellent communication. Look forward to staying again in the future!

Amazing beach Thanksgiving
The house was perfect, clean and a very short walk to the beach. There is a wagon and chairs available which made it easy to take to the beach. The house was very relaxing, yet had plenty of room and activities to do downstairs. Communication was super easy and always quick.
We loved that Christmas decorations were up when we got there. It added an extra element to our stay. This house was perfect for all ages as we had 50's,30's, 20's and 12 and under in our group. It is just a short drive to Ft. Morgan historical site which we all enjoyed very much.
We highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

Family Get Together
We had three sets of our family meet at this house and it was perfect. It’s ideal for blended family stays. It was great to have access to both the beach and the pool. We had one AC issue but Robyn took care of it so quickly that it wasn’t a major problem at all. We would recommend this property to anyone. We will definitely be back!
