The fee for a boat on to be parked and tied up to the dock is $400 per week. Great waterfront area for drinks and sunsets.

$79 Fee added to all bookings for accidental damage protection, as offered by VRBO and through CSA Travel Plans.

ELECTRICAL USAGE:
We typically do not charge an electrical usage deposit; however, we will communicate with renters via VRBO for any days flagged by the Electric Co as “high usage” days so that adjustments can be made. Our typical occupied kWh usage daily is 60-80; we get alerted for any days over 90kWh. The leading cause is turning the A/C too low (it is set at 72*) and/or leaving windows and doors open with the A/C running.
