House Rules

We are so excited to be considered on your shortlist. Please read these house rules to ensure we are a good fit for each other. ** Absolutely no parties or events. Noise complaints and events will be charged a $500 disturbance fee. Booking with us means you agree to this.** ✔ Boat slips are NOT included in your reservation amount ✔ Trailer parking is NOT included in your reservation amount ✔ Pet hosting is NOT included in your reservation amount ✔ You MUST contact the host for pricing and availability of boat slips and trailer parking This neighborhood is a quiet place. While we encourage you to relax and unwind, be mindful that sound carries further while out on the water. My neighbors Bill, Mary, Joe, Lisa, and Dave appreciate your consideration. Feel free to say hi to them as well. :) This is a fantastic place to bring your boat. Because we are excited to host you, we offer on-property discounts for boat slips and trailer parking that are deeply discounted. Contact us quickly to reserve your spot. The docks and parking are listed on other sites and often book up weeks in advance. Checkout Instructions for when the time comes. Please do not book with us if you cannot agree to these instructions: "You can leave any used towels on the floor in a pile and please strip the beds of the sheets and pillowcases (leave the comforters and mattress liner on the bed). You can leave them on the beds. Please wash your dishes and do not load them in the dishwasher for your departure unless you have a full load. If you have a full load, start the dishwasher. Remove trash from all bins and take it outside to the dumpster. Deflate and put away all air mattresses. Failure to follow these instructions may result in additional cleaning fees." Manor on the Bay is a place to be shared. Your guests must be indicated on your reservation. These are the ONLY guests allowed to stay the night. Inviting other people to the property, not on the reservation, is a crime of "Solicitation of Trespass." We want you to enjoy this special place with your friends and family, but your invited people, not on the guest reservation, must be approved by us. We are happy to host one pet less than 50 lbs. when booking THE ENTIRE first floor, and/or the ENTIRE second floor or the guest house. Single bedroom bookings are not allowed to have pets. Hosting your pet carries an extra $100 hosting fee that covers up to four nights, then a $25 charge is assessed for each additional day. Please note, this is not a cleaning fee. You are still required to clean up after your pet. Excessive cleaning may be charged by the cleaning team at an appropriate rate. Pets are *not allowed on any furniture*, and they are required to be on a leash when outside of your suite. Waste must be picked up each time. $180 (amount set by the cleaning company) is charged if you fail to clean up after your pet. PLEASE DO NOT BOOK WITH US if you are not a responsible pet owner. ***WATCH ALL CHILDREN AROUND BODIES OF WATER.*** There is not a fence along the waterfront. Please do your best to remove sand from your shoes/feet before entering your room. This cuts down on the sand that is brought in.

This was our second stay here, and we loved it just as much as the first time! The location is absolutely perfect peaceful, beautiful, and with the most amazing view. One of our favorite parts was seeing dolphins swimming right in the water. It never gets old! The kids had such a great time fishing and being outside. There was always something fun to do, and the setting made it so relaxing for everyone. The host is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Everything was just as wonderful as we remembered, and we truly felt right at home. We most definitely recommend staying here and can’t wait to come back again! 🌊🐬🎣

The guesthouse is exactly as advertised. The guesthouse is spacious and nicely decorated. Views from the guesthouse, deck, and dock are incredible. The grounds are impeccable. We did not use the pool or hot tub, but the pool area is beautiful. If you like to fish, the dock is a great place to catch fish. I caught two Atlantic shortnose sharks, several black bass, speckled sea trout, and several other varieties of fish. Dolphins swim by multiple times a day. Sometimes they are so close to the dock that you can almost reach out and touch them. The pelicans hang out and fish there all day. An added bonus if you like military aircraft is that occasionally an F-16, F-22, F-35, and others, will fly by close enough to wave at the pilots. The guesthouse location is close to everything but yet in a very quiet neighborhood. My wife and I really enjoyed our nine-day stay and we will definitely be back!

My family and I loved the guest house ! It was a lovely experience! The instructions and rules were clear and straightforward! There’s even a video linked if you don’t like to read. Chris was very responsive and addressed every question we had! The view and spa were great. It was super clean and comfortable. We will be back as we had an excellent experience. The only thing I’d suggest adding is a washer and dryer other than that we had a 10/10 experience.

We had an awesome stay at the guest house. The view was beautiful, the little beach is clean and nice, the dock was super fun to fish off of, and the hot tub was perfect for a winter beach stay. It is conveniently located to everything you need and in a cute neighborhood. The house itself is clean and comfortable and the water pressure is amazing. Would definitely book this rental again.
