HOUSE RULES DISCLOSURE (by booking this listing you acknowledge our Rules):

CHECK-OUT TIME:

REMOVE YOUR TRASH from the home and put into the appropriate Bins, as per Garbage Rules. Assigned Code will also be automatically disabled as of 11AM, so you will not be able to re-enter the House past this time. Please restore placement of any items that you have moved while in occupancy (i.e. art, furniture etc).

OCCUPANCY:

We kindly request that you also do not allow your children to use ANY colored pens or permanent markers while staying at our house, as damages may be incurred and charges remitted to you. To avoid this, encourage games or engaging them through means that do not involve the use of pens, crayons, sharpies, or permanent markers unless you will be supervising them 100% of the time. Thank you.

LEASHED: Make sure your dog remains on leash at all times, on trails and while walking in the community (HOA Rule).

PICK UP POOP: Please clean up after your dog (we have had guests who have been lazy about this which is both disrespectful of the environment and other guests).
Per Section 6.6(d), each tenant or lessee must receive the following notice prior to occupancy:
“To protect wildlife and avoid nuisances, all dogs must be under the owner’s control at all times, and leashed when on the roads, trails, and other property owned by The Sea Ranch.

GARBAGE: Bins are located in Wooden Enclosure in Garage. We pay for WALK-IN SERVICE, so trash just needs to be removed from the house and placed in the appropriate bins, Wooden Enclosure safely secured (from Raccoons).

* BLACK BIN is for garbage. We are restricted to a 32 Gallon Bin by Sonoma Recology.

Garbage pickup is Mondays AM (6-noon). What does not fit in Trash Bin Guests MUST TAKE WITH THEM, no exceptions. An additional charge of $25 will be remitted to Guests who leave extra exceeding bin capacity. Extra Garbage requires a 2nd bin that Host will need to let you into Garage to retrieve AND Recology will need to be notified no later than Friday. NO LOOSE Bags can be outside any bins or Recology will not pick it up. ALL BIN LIDS MUST BE ABLE TO CLOSE.

NO LOOSE GARBAGE is to be placed directly in bin as this will cause a nasty smell for other guests. Please use provided Garbage bags.

What does not fit in Trash Bin Guests MUST TAKE WITH THEM, home or deposit it at the Annapolis Transfer Station, 33549 Annapolis Rd., 5mi inland of Hwy 1, near The Sea Ranch.

* BLUE BIN is for plastic and glass only.

* GREEN BIN is for other recyclables (lid should close).

TEMPERATURE: The home’s central downtowns heater us on a schedule to reset on a schedule for energy conservation purposes and because guests tend otherwise to forget to turn it off, even when absent. Upstairs relies on wall heaters in bedroom and bathroom, though please remember to turn these off when you leave the house. Plenty of extra blankets are provided.

NEST PROTECT: There are Nest devices installed in bedrooms, hallways and kitchen that are legally required fire & carbon monoxide alarms with motion activated night lights that will gently light up when you walk by. The one in the kitchen has been known to go off when something is burning, and we will be alerted so may check in if this happens.
