Salt & Sand House Rules
Quick Clean-Up Checklist
Load dirty dishes into the dishwasher.
Toss the used towels in the bathroom.
Either strip the beds or leave them unmade—we’ll take it from there.
Trash days are Monday & Thursday nights:
➤ Roll cans to the driveway's edge (wheels facing the house).
➤ Please do not overstuff, put stuff on top of the closed lid, or on the ground (the cans are emptied by machine, and may not be emptied).
➤ Please return the cans after pickup.
No fireworks allowed or used on property
No unregistered guests or pets
No house parties
House Stuff
Keep doors and windows closed to keep cool air in and bugs out.
The cargo lift is not for guest use. Please don’t use it.
Be gentle with furniture and décor—this is a family home, not a frat house.
Hot Tub Etiquette
Rinse off before you hop in—salt, sand & sunscreen clog things up!
It’s cleaned Wednesdays & Saturdays.
No Glass containers in or around the hot tub
Keep the cover on when not in use to maintain heat and keep debris out.
Fees for hot tub violations:
➤ $100 for excess cleaning
➤ $500 for damaged or mishandled cover (they’re *shockingly* expensive!)
Pet Parents, We See You!
No cats, please.
There may be an extra cleaning fee for excessive shedding—brush before beach zoomies!
We recommend kenneling pets if you're out exploring for long stretches.
Outside, leashes are required at all times in Rodanthe.
Always scoop the poop and bring water to keep those tails wagging.
Avoid hot midday sand, as paws can burn.
Stay on walkways and don’t leave huge dug holes (sea turtles and clumsy humans say thanks!).
Beach Reminders
No overnight gear—chairs, tents, toys must be off the beach by **8 PM** or Dare County will remove them.
Quiet hours are from 10 PM to 8 AM sound carries over the ocean like gossip at brunch.
