Bodega Retreat - Bodega Bay

* You must be 25 years of age to rent this home. All Guests must e-sign the Host's Rental Agreement and provide a photo ID for insurance purposes within 24 hours of making a reservation. The Rental Agreement must include a valid residential address and a working personal phone number. * Maximum of 8 people staying overnight without any additional charges. You can have up to 6 additional visitors during the day (7am-10pm), but no parties, no guests after 10 PM, and no commercial filming. * Check-in after 4:00 PM. We will provide you with a door lock code a few days in advance. * Check-out by 11:00 AM. Before you leave, please load and run the dishwasher, close the windows, draw down the shades, and lock all of the doors. Please leave the beds unmade, and used towels in the tub. Housekeeping will take care of laundering linens and trash disposal. * Timely checkout is imperative to allow adequate time between guests for thorough housekeeping and to avoid impacting another guest's experience. For this reason, without pre-approval, departing 1 hour after checkout time incurs a $150 fee. After 2 hours, the guest is responsible for the base nightly rate as a penalty, plus any costs or refunds associated with displacing the next guest. * HOA quiet hours are from 10 PM until 7 AM. Please respect the serenity of the community and bring the festivities indoors during those hours. We love our neighbors. Please be considerate, respectful, and courteous. * The cleaning fee covers standard cleaning of the home, laundering the bedding and towels, and trash removal. If excessive cleaning is required, or damages occur, there will be an appropriate additional charge. No glitter or confetti! * This is a smoke-free home. Absolutely NO SMOKING or VAPING of any kind (including tobacco or marijuana) inside the house or garage. If you smoke on the patio please dispose of butts appropriately; do not throw them in the yard. * If smoke is detected inside the home, you will be charged for excessive cleaning, odor removal, and damage to linens or furnishings, plus any costs or refunds associated with displacing the next guest. * Pets are only allowed in homes designated as pet-friendly (maximum 2 per home). Pets must be kept on a leash when outside of the house. Pets are not allowed on the golf course or cart paths. Pets are never to be left in homes unattended. You must pick up after your pets. We follow the ADA definition and requirements for Service Animals, which must be disclosed prior to arrival so that the home can be prepared for them. * Bodega Retreat permits no more than two small dogs under 25 lbs each, or one large dog over 25 lbs. Sorry… no cats. * Please keep all food items in the kitchen, dining room, or living room. Please refrain from taking food to other rooms in the house. * It is dangerous to leave a burning fire unattended. Please do not light a fire on the morning of your departure, as our housekeeping staff cannot clean the fireplace with hot coals. Items near the fireplace may be hot. * We are close to nature and many species of wildlife inhabit the area. All outside trash must be placed in the garbage closet next to the garage to avoid spreading trash by wildlife. * Most of our Guests find the home appealing for its proximity to nature. Since we are in a natural coastal area with lots of wildlife, it is normal to see the occasional insect in the house that may enter through an open door or window. We cannot control Mother Nature, and do not apply refunds if you encounter a few ants or wildlife evidence during your stay. This home is treated regularly by a professional pest control company to ensure that insects are not a problem. * Please wipe up any spills immediately and keep food covered or in the fridge if you start to attract ants. Pet food bowls should be cleaned after use. Do not leave bowls of food out. * Please make sure babies and children do not climb the stairs without supervision or play in the loft unattended. * Both indoors and outdoors there are several areas with steps. Please use caution. * Do not move furniture, or remove items from the house. * White towels are for indoor bathroom use. Colored towels are for outdoor beach use. Makeup wipes are provided in each bathroom. Cleaning cloths and old towels are located on the shelf in the garage. Please do not take the white towels to the beach. Don’t use white towels to clean your makeup, boots, golf clubs, tires, or other items that will stain them. * One locked closet containing the owner’s personal property is located in the front bedroom downstairs. Please do not try to open this. * We cannot be responsible for utility service interruptions that are outside of our control such as power, internet or cell services. Cell service in particular can be inconsistent in coastal areas. * As is common with many homes and vacation rental properties, we may have installed on-site devices for your security. These may include electronic door locks, light timers, security alarms, exterior motion sensors, outdoor facing cameras (which record whenever motion is detected including voices), smoke detection devices, and decibel meters (which do not record voices). For your privacy, we do not have any cameras inside the house. Cameras are all in plain sight and are located at the front entrance doorbell, and back yard. Tampering with the WiFi, mesh routers, or any of the security devices is grounds for immediate eviction with no refunds.No smokingNo parties or eventsCheck-in is anytime after 4:00 PM
