Check In Procedures

Report any mechanical or cleaning issues upon check in. No refunds will be issued for unreported problems.
Remember, check in is after 3pm without exception. Cleaners are cleaning the unit from 10:15am until 3pm and have instructions to depart upon tenant’s early arrival, regardless if the home is finished or not.
Leave refrigerator settings on factory defaults (or middle number). Turning them all the way up will cause an imbalance of air and will actually slow the cooling of your food.
Set a/c thermostat no lower than 66 in the summer as this may cause the unit to freeze up and you will have to wait up to 4 hours with no a/c for it to thaw. Fan setting should be set to auto.
All homes are non-smoking & only pet friendly homes allow pets. Please clean up after your pet.
Over occupancy can result in immediate eviction per Bedford County Ordinance without refund.
Park all cars, trailers, & boats on the property you rented. No parking on lawns or using neighboring docks.
Noise ordinance hours are from 10pm to 7am. Please respect your neighbors.
Renters in “no wake” coves must run watercraft at idle speed in cove. The Coast Guard does issue tickets.

Report any existing damages when you arrive so we can deal with them asap and keep the inconvenience to your trip to a minimum. Our homes are well maintained, but please understand that just like your own home, unexpected breakdowns and malfunctions do occur. Our professional staff will make every effort to remedy these situations and correct any problems in a timely manner; however, refunds will not be issued due to malfunctioning equipment mechanical failures, unfavorable weather, early departure, interruption of utilities, construction in the area or other guest dissatisfaction. If a service call is deemed unnecessary, or a maintenance repair is needed as a result of tenant actions, the cost will be charged to your account or deducted from your security deposit. Agent retains the right to enter the property for maintenance, repairs, or care of the property during reasonable hours. We will make every effort possible not to disrupt your stay.
