OCCUPANCY AND PARKING — NO EXCEPTIONS
Maximum 8 registered overnight guests and 10 people total on the property at any time, including visitors and children. Daytime visitors require advance written approval and must leave by 9 PM. No unregistered overnight guests. Maximum 3 guest/visitor vehicles total, parked only in designated on-property spaces. No street overflow, parking on N. Mesa Drive, blocked access, or neighboring-property parking. These limits cannot be increased by an owner, manager, co-host, or guest.

QUIET HOURS: 9 PM–7 AM
Keep sound considerate at all times. No amplified outdoor music, shouting, or disruptive activity. During quiet hours, turn off outdoor music and TV audio; move conversations indoors if audible off the property. Respond promptly to management about noise concerns.

MONTEREY COUNTY NOISE REQUIREMENTS
Guests must comply with Monterey County Code Chapter 10.60, including sections 10.60.030 and 10.60.040. The full ordinance, including its measurement methods and exceptions, governs. Our house quiet hours and conduct rules also apply. A monitor reading or alert alone does not establish a legal violation.

LIGHTING AND EQUIPMENT
Backyard and patio lights, including covered-patio recessed lights, must be off by 9 PM. Do not override timers. Required front-entry and walkway safety lighting may remain on. The disconnected firepit is unavailable.

EXTERIOR CAMERAS AND SOUND-LEVEL MONITORING
Exterior Ring cameras monitor the front door, side/secondary parking area, exterior gate/access area, and garage/front parking area. There are no interior cameras. Exterior Minut devices measure sound levels and duration; they do not record conversations or audio. Digital sound-level displays help guests manage volume. Management reviews concerns about occupancy, parking, and noise in context. Do not cover, disconnect, relocate, or disable monitoring equipment.

GUEST ACKNOWLEDGMENT
After booking, we send these property-specific rules in the booking conversation and ask you to confirm your overnight guest count, maximum daytime headcount, vehicle count, and agreement to comply. Please share the rules with everyone in your group. These are house rules, not HOA rules. They do not change the booking platform’s cancellation or refund terms. If your plans do not fit, contact us before booking.

We manage the home personally and are available before, during, and after your stay to help you enjoy Carmel while respecting our neighbors.

Interaction with Guests:
We self-manage the home to provide guests with a more personalized experience and quick communication throughout their stay. Guests will receive a private key code prior to arrival for easy self check-in, and we are always available by call or text to help with any questions, recommendations, or concerns.
