LOCAL COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS:
This property requires a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a $1,500 security hold (a pending transaction, not a traditional security deposit). Alternatively, guests may purchase an optional, non-refundable third-party damage waiver for $59 for stays up to 9 nights, plus $3 per additional day beyond 9 nights.

Guest information is provided through Happy Guest, a secure, app-free website requiring no account signup.

LIMITED OCCUPANCY
Maximum occupancy is 5 people. Violations may result in removal of the entire party without refund.

TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY – NO TENANCY
This is a transient vacation rental, not the Guest's residence or domicile. The Guest receives a limited, revocable license to occupy only for the reserved dates. Nothing in this Agreement creates a tenancy, lease, leasehold interest, or landlord-tenant relationship or grants residential tenant rights under the Texas Property Code or other applicable laws.

EXTENDED STAYS: Reservations of 30+ consecutive nights are subject to Owner approval and an Extended Stay Addendum before arrival. Occupancy remains transient regardless of duration. All payments are due in advance of each rental period, and occupancy ends upon nonpayment or the reservation's departure date, whichever occurs first.

GUEST REPRESENTATION: Guest confirms the property will not become their primary residence, permanent address, or legal domicile. The property address may not be used for mail/package delivery, voter registration, identification, vehicle registration, employment verification, school enrollment, public benefits, or other official purposes.

OWNER POSSESSION: Owner retains legal possession and control and may enter for inspection, maintenance, safety, or compliance. Keys and access codes grant entry only, not possession.

HOLDOVER: Occupancy ends at checkout. Remaining without written approval constitutes unauthorized occupancy/trespass. Owner may pursue lawful removal, including contacting authorities. Unauthorized holdovers incur $1,000/day or the prevailing nightly rate, whichever is greater, plus removal costs, attorney's fees, court costs, locksmith charges, and losses from canceled or relocated bookings.

NON-DISTURBANCE
Guests shall not disturb, annoy, endanger, or inconvenience neighbors or use the property unlawfully.

FIREWORKS: Strictly prohibited on the property and surrounding grounds. Violations may result in eviction without refund and authorities being contacted.

CARE OF PREMISES & DAMAGES

Pets may not be left unattended indoors unless crated (crate not provided) and are prohibited from furniture. Guest is responsible for pet damage and additional cleaning.

Undisclosed pets, dogs over 50 lbs, additional dogs, or other animals may result in a $1,500 non-refundable fee and/or termination of the stay without refund. Service animals are permitted as required by federal law; emotional support animals are not service animals under federal law.

SMOKING/VAPING: Prohibited inside the house. Violations may result in eviction and forfeiture of deposit and rent.

PEST CONTROL & WILDLIFE
Texas' subtropical climate may bring common pests, insects, mosquitoes, tree roaches, and wildlife. These are normal regional occurrences and do not indicate poor housekeeping.
