Damages and General Provisions: You are responsible for any and all damages that occur to the property or it's contents by you or any other member of your group while you are the registered occupant of the property, as well as any consequential damages incurred by any breach of this lease. If the breach causes the Unit not to be in rentable condition, Lessee agrees to pay the sum of $500.00 per day, or the amount of rent lost as a result of the damage, whichever is greater. This contract shall not be construed against the Lessor. In lieu of a security deposit, we will keep your credit card on file as a security deposit. If we discover that there has been damage to the property or it's contents while you are the occupant, we will capture an amount from your credit card to cover the estimated cost of repairs.

Beach Courtesy:
Please do not remove our sheets, blankets or bedspreads from the house.
- Many of our neighbors are kind enough to let us access the beach by walking between the properties. Please do not test their patience! We also have public beach access at the end of the block, at 13th street. In most cases you can walk between houses where both have rental signs out front.
- Please take a trash bag to the beach with you so you can dispose of any wrappers, cans, etc. Dropped trash is one of the biggest complaints that will lead to our no longer being able to walk through to the beach.
- Please do not walk under the houses, or use their showers. This is like coming out of your home and finding someone in your garage. We have an outdoor shower for washing off sand.
