EXHIBIT A
House Rules and Regulations
(1) All Guests must wash off all sand from themselves & their belongings outside near
the pool area prior to entering the condo. Sand inside the condo will damage the floors
and if sand enters the shower drains the waste water system will back up.
(2) Small wash & dry loads can be performed in the inside washer & dryer provided. Larger
wash loads must be performed in the laundry room on the 2nd floor in Building #2
(3) The doors and windows including the sliding glass door must be kept closed. The
humidity this close to the ocean is so extreme that mold will quickly start in the walls if
any doors or windows are left open and the air conditioning system could burn out as it
tries to cool the condo down and remove the humidity.
(4) There are only enough parking spaces for one car per unit (48 in total) so this lease only
provides parking for one vehicle.
(5) Paper towels, water and food in the unit when you arrive is for your use. You may want
to be generous with the next guest and leave a few things for them.
(6) We suggest keeping bathroom doors partially open when taking a shower to help
prevent excess moisture build up in the bathrooms and resulting mold problem
(7) Please be careful when on the deck and do not sit on or lean against the railing to
prevent any possible injury
(8) The fire alarms are connected throughout the building and are connected to the local fire
department’s emergency services. Please be careful not to burn anything on the stove. Do
not disable any smoke alarms. Smoking is not permitted inside the Property (including the
deck) .
