*Rates are initial season special discounted rates for 2013 season. Please write for current rates. Rates subject to change without notice. Rates are not final until a standard lease is agreed upon, signed, and executed with described payment terms, etc. Security deposit is not included in rent. Typically takes the cleaners / staff a couple weeks to get us their check out reports, can take longer is they're swamped to catch up on paperwork of houses need extra cleaning, have damage, etc. Just depends on how things are left and how busy they are. For an average family of 6 people if renters clean the house and leave it nice usually takes the cleaners 8-10 hours to make it truly ready for the next group as it's a large home. If renters don't clean takes longer. A professional 3rd party cleaning company does the cleaning and they're meticulous to make sure our renters arrive to have a great first impression of the home. :) Please plan accordingly and pre-book/pre-pay for discounted cleaning rates in addition to the minimum charge for one hour light one person clean we start with up front and the time needed for cleaning and budget for extra time to clean it as we don't include cleaning in our rent to keep it fair to everyone. If renters clean the house well and get up to do a loads of laundry (doing laundry is part of cleaning) so last small to normal size load is drying in the dryer and clean some to leave it nice like when you arrived it usually takes the cleaners 8-10 hours to make it truly ready for the next group after a family of 6. If renters don't clean and do laundry it takes much longer given number of beds and 3 floors of living space. We usually travel during the week for work and will try to cut back a deposit return the weekend after we get their reports when we're home. Keep it simple. :) We're also not a full time agency, just homeowners with other full time jobs who rent out the house out ourselves at a discount to keep charges down for everyone. Thanks for considering our property! :)
Our standard lease must be signed by two co-signers and executed with 24 hours of booking (if not same day and prior to using house) with all payments processed and cleared before Tenants/Renters will be allowed on premises / in the house. Failure to do so will result in all monies paid by Tenant / Renter being forfeit as we cannot allow anyone to use the house without a lease and all payments clearing to protect ourselves and our tenants / renters. If you have questions on the lease please review it prior to booking as a request to book and booking through this site is final, there are no refunds as we're not a hotel that can quickly and easily rebook something etc. Check in 5pm, out 10:30am. A SECURITY DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED, you must select that option not the insurance homeaway offers as we do not accept it even though they force that offering as we cannot turn that offering off. Any booking requested with less than 2 full working days notice must be manually custom requested and approved by owner before booking.
***DO NOT CALL TO SOLICIT BUSINESS OR SERVICES, ONLY USE PHONE NUMBER FOR RENTING PROPERTY. Thank you. Was getting annoying telemarketing calls so had to put that in there. Sorry to my potential renters who had to read that. :) If you're still reading, yes that's me with the lions in South Africa at a rescue I volunteered at, now have a yellow lab, she doesn't eat as much or think I'm lunch, always a bonus.
