SUITABILITY:

        • Long-Term Season Renters Welcome
        • Minimum Age Limit For Renters
          This is not a PARRTAAAAY house. It is located in a residential neighborhood and we ask that our guests are respectful to the neighborhood. With that said, there is no minimum age limit.
        • Children Welcome
          Kids love this house. However, due to the era of construction, a guided safety tour and waiver must be signed. Consequently, this is due to the stairway and upper windows at floor level. (However, all the windows are double pane and new construction with safety glass, and open easily.)
        • Non-Smoking Only
          ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING in the house.  Did I mention ABSOLUTELY NONE? Thank You. : )
        • Pets Not Allowed
          We love animals, but animal hair often burrows its way into carpet and furniture.  So, this house is clean and animal hair free.
