Due to health department regulations, occupancy on homes served by septic systems is limited to two persons per bedroom, unless otherwise stated. We've listed the bedding arrangements in each description only to accommodate flexible sleeping arrangements, not to represent occupancy. For your protection Sandy Cheeks is equipped with smoke detectors. Our inspectors check smoke detector batteries on a routine basis, however, it is renter's responsibility to check the smoke detector(s) upon arrival and to advise us immediately if the smoke detector(s) is not working properly.

Please confirm all information at the time your reservation is made. We will not be held responsible for possible rate or printing errors.
