Security Of Ocean Spirit Accomodation
When you rent one of the Ocean Spirit spaces, you assume full responsibility for it and its contents, as well as your personal property. If you are conscious of putting food away when finished with meals, you will be much less likely to incur bugs and insects seeking snacks. Always lock the doors when you leave. And close sliding glass windows in the Triangle and east facing sliding windows in the house. Lock your automobiles when parked.

Occupancy
This is restricted to the number of occupants as agreed upon. Additional people may be allowed at an additional cost if pre-approved.

All spaces are equipped with telephones for your convenience and safety. The Studio and Triangle have long distance blocks which cannot be removed and require a credit card to make long distance calls. Please do not abuse this privilege or jeopardize your security deposit by charging or receiving long distance calls to the owner's phone through regular long distance calls, FAX machines or personal computers. Cost of calls plus $15 per bill collection fee will apply.

Cleaning
Your Ocean Spirit Space will be expertly cleaned and inventoried prior to your arrival and again after your departure. There is a cleaning fee for each unit. Excessive departure cleaning, if necessary, will be in addition to the stated charge and deducted from your security deposit or charged to your credit card.

Maintenance and Repairs
We make every effort to ensure that all equipment within each rental is in working order. In the event of a breakdown, we will strive to repair it as soon as possible after being notified of a problem. We cannot guarantee that televisions, appliances, high speed access, etc. will not break down during your stay and therefore, no refunds or adjustments will be made for mechanical failure. Furthermore, there will be no refunds or adjustments made for any other unexpected situation beyond our control such as bugs, rodents, roosters, weather and the like.
