NO VAPING or SMOKING indoors- Please take it outside and enjoy on our patio to keep my space clean
ALL trash, butts, animal poo etc MUST be fully bagged and placed in appropriate receptacles on side of home.
Trash day is early Monday morning- Trash (black top and smaller containers) with trash should be taken to front street on Sunday night and returned back to behind gate by Monday evening.
Recycling is every other Friday (easy to see as neighbors will have yellow topped bins on front curb Thursday evening) Recycling is now VERY STRICT- Cannot be placed in plastic bags - we left a card on the laundry room drying rack for referral.
Animals MUST be kept under your control including leash and barking. The neighbor to the right will call the authorities is barking is longer than 30 minutes. (When we leave- we like to keep pets in either the middle room {great for storms or fireworks} or the laundry room.
PETS SHOULD NOT go on furniture! I know some of you will not listen and we HOPE you will put sheets or towels down to protect our items that are not washable.
Backyard TV should remain covered when not in use- the morning sun is what will damage it in the heat of the summer. We love to sit out back in the evenings but always cover before going to bed. We can't guarantee it will work if not cared for.
All three gates to backyard should be remained closed at all times. and latched in the case of wind or storms
Two security cameras on property- in back rear of property and the front for security while vacant- no private or interior areas.
Home DOES NOT include the rear guest house. This is for the owner or the owners friends- we will let you know when occupied-

Wonderful Home For Long Stay
We stayed in Gretchen’s home for 5 weeks and had a wonderful time. Their house comes with all the amenities you need, beautiful backyard with a tv, and a nice king bed for the master. Gretchen is super attentive and easy to communicate with. Location is great, walking distance to many restaurants along the St. John River.
