General:

• Please treat our house with the same respect as you would your own home. We’ve put a lot of effort into making this into a lovely space to be enjoyed by our guests.
• In case of any accidental damage, please let us know. We’ll look into the issue and decide if and how much the deduction or repair cost will be.
• We hope you have lots of laughter and fun times during your visit. However, we’d appreciate if you’re mindful of the neighbors and keep noise to a minimum during nighttime hours. Any excessive noise and complaints from neighbors may force us to have to evict you! Tybee is very conscious of vacation rentals and people look for reasons to complain to the local authorities. If you have any disputes with neighbors, please contact us immediately.
