House rules

Last updated: 2026-05-28

This is a working draft for review. It is not legal advice and should be reviewed by a California real-estate or short-term-rental attorney before it governs paid bookings.

Our homes sit in real residential neighborhoods, and a few simple rules keep them comfortable for you and respectful of the people next door. Booking a stay means agreeing to the following.

Check-in and check-out

  • Check-in is at 3 PM. Check-out is at 11 AM.
  • Luggage may be dropped inside the unit after 1 PM and left after check-out for later pickup.
  • Early check-in and late check-out are not available, so our cleaners have the full turnover window.

Occupancy

  • Please do not exceed the maximum guest count listed for your home.
  • The reservation holder must be present for the stay.

No parties or events

  • Parties, events, and gatherings beyond your registered guests are not permitted.
  • Quiet hours run from 10 PM to 8 AM. Please keep noise to a considerate level.

Smoking

  • All homes are completely smoke-free, indoors and out, including patios and yards.
  • This includes cigarettes, cigars, vaping, and cannabis.

Pets

  • Pets are welcome with prior approval and a one-time $30 fee for dogs.
  • Please tell us the breed and weight when you book.
  • Service animals are always welcome at no charge.

Parking

  • Each home's parking is described on its listing page.
  • At our 1125 Sherman homes, Sherman Street is swept the third Friday of each month from 8 AM to 12 PM. Move your car off that block beforehand to avoid a ticket.

Care of the home

  • Please treat the home as you would your own and report any issue right away so we can fix it.
  • Lock up when you leave, and keep shared spaces tidy at properties with more than one unit.

Thanks for helping us keep these homes welcoming. Questions about any rule? Reach out before you book and we'll be glad to help.
