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 and Check-Out

Check-in time is 3:00 p.m. or later
Check-out time is 11:00 a.m. or earlier

Please vacate your property no later than 11 a.m. so that we can have it ready for the next guests.

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. 

Departure Check List

Damage and Theft - 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 the 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.

Damage deposits are mailed within 30 days of departure to the name and address provided on the reservation.

Thank you for staying with us.  Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your stay more enjoyable.

Have a great time!
