Welcome to Grand
Isle. We hope you enjoy your stay with us.
All of our properties are privately owned
and all items in the houses are the private property of the owners. We
appreciate the owners making their homes available for your use and we ask
that you respect their property. Any damage to property or missing items
will be deducted from your damage deposit. We understand that accidents
happen and we ask that you report any damage immediately so that we can
arrange for repairs or replacement as soon as possible.
Please note that we do not rent
to fraternities, sororities or other large party-type groups.
Please
make sure that all members of your group are advised of the following
information.

Check-in

Pet Policy
- House broken, well behaved pets are allowed at Bahama Mama, Bahama Baby, For The
Good Times, Grand Isle Suites-Unit 18, Milton's Hilton III, Flipside,
Hideaway Haven and Tiger Dockside only (no puppies in the chewing stage).
Positively no pets are allowed anywhere on the premises at other
properties. This includes porches, screened areas and outdoor areas.
If you bring a pet to a "no pet" property, you will be asked to leave with
no refund. Each property owner determines whether or not pets will
be allowed at their property and we ask that you respect this rule as many
people have pet allergies.
Smoking Policy
- No smoking is allowed inside any of our properties. Please use the
outside porches and decks for smoking.
Please use an appropriate receptacle for cigarette butts.
Do not throw them on the decks, porches, lawns or grounds. An
additional fee will be charged for picking up cigarette butts.
Towels
and Linens
- Towels are provided for bathing and are not to be taken to the beach or
used to wash boats, vehicles, etc. Linens, blankets, pillows,
mattresses and comforters are not to be taken to the beach or used
outside.
Cleaning
- The cleaning fee covers general interior cleaning of the property after
departure. Prior to departure, please wash and put away dirty dishes
and remove food from refrigerator and freezer. Garbage should be bagged, tied and placed
in the roadside bins. There is no need to do laundry or other normal
general cleaning in the interior. Please do not strip beds and please do
not leave wet towels on carpet. If anyone in your groups throws up
anywhere in the house, you are expected to clean it up before you leave.
If you do not clean it up and the housekeeping staff is forced to deal
with it, an additional cleaning fee will be deducted from your deposit.
Do not
dismantle beds and move them to other rooms. If you move sofas, tables or
other furniture during your stay, please place them back where you found
them as the maid is not able to move furniture by herself.
If dirty
dishes or garbage are left in the unit, an appropriate amount will be
deducted from the security deposit. If multiple units are rented, items
must be returned to the proper units. There is an extra charge for
sorting pots,
dishes, towels, pillows, etc and returning them to the proper units.
Outdoor Areas
- Outdoor areas must be cleaned and returned to proper order prior to
departure. This is not included in your cleaning fee. Fish cleaning areas
are provided for your convenience and enjoyment. Please dispose of fish
heads, guts, etc. in a proper manner. They may be placed in heavy trash
bags, tied and placed in the garbage bins or you can bury them across the
beach levee (deep enough so that no one will step on the fin or bone of a
fish).
Do not
throw this material on the levee, streets or any other open area. This is
a violation of municipal law and could result in a fine. Please rinse all
fish cleaning counters, concrete, etc. with fresh water after cleaning
fish.
Turn off
propane tanks when finished boiling, wash boil pots and pick up any trash,
food, shrimp shells, etc. Rinse tables, counters and concrete with fresh
water. If barbeque pits, boil pots, burners, or outdoor tables and
furniture have been moved, please return them to the areas where you found
them.
If
outdoor areas are not cleaned, an appropriate amount will be deducted from
the security deposit.
Neighboring Properties
- Please be considerate of neighbors. Do not park on their property or
block their driveways. Do not use items from outside their houses
(tables, chairs, crab traps, fishing gear, etc.). Do not empty charcoal
or dump grease or boil water on their lawns. Please use designated
crossovers to get to the beach and do not cut through private property.
There is usually a right of way at the end of each street to access the
beach. Some of these rights of way are maintained by the neighboring
homeowners and appear to be part of their property. However, they are
public property. There are also numerous cross walks with steps to the
beach that are maintained by the town. These are especially helpful for
those who may have trouble crossing the levee.
Occupancy
-
A maximum occupancy is
listed for each property. This is the maximum number of people that may
sleep in the house overnight. Older children and teens are counted in
this number. Infants and toddlers do not have to be included in this
number. You are allowed to have a reasonable number of guests visiting
the property during the day, however, we do not allow large groups of
extra guests and large "yard party" situations. If the police are
dispatched to the house due to large groups of people or because of loud
and disruptive behavior, we reserve the right to deny occupancy to all
members of your group with no refund.
Mobile homes, campers, trailers
– Positively no mobile homes, campers, trailers, tents or any other type
of additional sleeping units are allowed on any of our properties. There
are facilities for rent on the island for these types of units.
Activities Not Allowed
No
drinking by minors on property
No illegal
drugs on property
No activity
that would disturb neighbors including rowdy behavior, public nudity,
loud, drunken or other obnoxious behavior
No loud
music after 10 p.m.
Garbage Collection
- Pick up days are Monday and Thursday. All garbage must be bagged, tied
and placed in the roadside bins. Do not throw loose garbage or trash in
the cans.
Sanitation
- Grand Isle houses have either septic tanks or waste treatment tanks. Do
not dispose of feminine products, baby wipes, paper towels or any other
items in the toilet. Soiled toilet tissue is the only thing that should
be flushed. Other items create problems that may cause toilets to
backup. Please dispose of other items in trash cans.
Maintenance
- We try our best to
maintain properties and keep everything in proper working condition,
however, we are sometimes unaware that something needs attention. If you
find that something is broken or needs attention, please notify us. If at
all possible, it will be corrected during your stay so that you will not
be inconvenienced. Also, if something accidentally gets broken, please
let us know so that we can replace or repair it prior to the arrival of
the next guest.
Air
Conditioning/Heating
– During extremely hot weather, do not set the thermostats below 68
degrees on central air conditioning units. Doing so may cause the
units to freeze up and not cool properly. Upon departure, during
warm weather, central air conditioning should be set to 78 degrees and
window units should be left on low. In cold weather, please turn off
all central heat and space heaters. Turn off lights and lock all
windows and doors.
