Santa Cruz Long Term

House Rules

This home is available for stays of 28 nights or longer. Guests are expected to treat the property respectfully, keep the home in good condition during the stay, and be mindful that this is a residential neighborhood.

Only approved guests are allowed to stay overnight. The guest count on the reservation must be accurate. Visitors must be reasonable, respectful, and may not create noise, parking, occupancy, or neighborhood issues.

No parties, large gatherings, or unauthorized events are allowed. Any event, photoshoot, filming, or gathering beyond the approved reservation details must be approved in writing before arrival.

No smoking or vaping inside the home. This includes cigarettes, marijuana, vapes, incense, candles, or anything that creates smoke, odor, residue, or burn risk inside the property. Guests may be responsible for smoke remediation, odor removal, additional cleaning, or damage caused by smoking.

No pets are allowed unless approved in writing before booking. Unauthorized pets may result in additional cleaning, damage, or remediation charges submitted through Airbnb. Service animals are handled in accordance with Airbnb policy.

Quiet hours are from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM. Please keep outdoor noise, music, pool activity, and general volume at a respectful level, especially at night.

The pool is not heated. Guests swim at their own risk. No glass is allowed near the pool. Children must be supervised at all times. Please do not tamper with pool equipment, pool gates, pumps, timers, valves, heaters, breakers, or cleaning systems.

Guests are responsible for keeping the home reasonably clean during the stay. Please dispose of trash regularly, clean up spills quickly, avoid leaving food out, and help prevent pests. Excessive mess, stains, odors, trash, pest-attracting conditions, damage, or missing items may result in a claim through Airbnb.

Trash must be placed in the proper bins and taken out on scheduled pickup days. Please do not leave loose trash outside, as this can attract pests and create issues with the city or neighbors.

Please report maintenance issues, leaks, damage, broken items, pest activity, or safety concerns as soon as they are noticed. Normal wear and tear happens, but unreported damage, misuse, or preventable issues may result in charges.

Reasonable property access may be required during the stay with advance notice when possible. This may include pool service, landscaping, pest control, repairs, maintenance, inspections, or emergency access.

Do not move large furniture, wall decor, electronics, pool equipment, mattresses, indoor furniture to outdoor areas, or outdoor furniture to indoor areas without approval. If anything is moved, it must be returned to its original location before checkout.

Guests may use the washer and dryer. Please do not overload the machines, and clean the dryer lint trap after each dryer use.

Parking is only allowed in approved parking areas. Do not block neighboring driveways, sidewalks, mailboxes, garages, trash bins, or street access.

Do not tamper with internet equipment, smart locks, exterior cameras, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, pool equipment, utility panels, irrigation controls, owner storage, or maintenance supplies.

No subletting, third-party occupancy, or transfer of the reservation is allowed. The booking guest is responsible for all guests, visitors, and invitees during the stay.

The property may not be used as a permanent mailing address, business address, registered office, voter registration address, or residence of record without written approval. Please do not forward mail to the property without approval.

Packages are allowed in reasonable amounts during your stay, but guests are responsible for retrieving packages promptly. We are not responsible for lost, stolen, delayed, or misdelivered packages.

Please use utilities responsibly. Keep doors and windows closed while the A/C is running, do not set the thermostat to extreme temperatures, and do not use the property for commercial equipment, business operations, or unusually high utility consumption without approval.

Before checkout, please remove personal items, dispose of trash, wash used dishes, return moved items to their original place, and leave the home in reasonable condition. Standard cleaning is expected after each stay, but excessive cleaning, damage, missing items, smoke remediation, unauthorized pets, or abandoned belongings may result in a claim through Airbnb.

Rule violations may result in cancellation of the reservation, removal from the property where allowed, or claims submitted through Airbnb when applicable.
