Good Neighbor Policy

Good Neighbor Policy for Guests of Sanctuary Vacation Rentals

Welcome to one of the most beautiful and peaceful places on the planet. It is an honor that you have chosen to stay with us. Vacation Rental properties are often located in mixed-use neighborhoods that include short-term guests, second homeowners and year-round residents. All guests are required to conform to all rules and regulations which are provided for each property.

Please Be A Good Neighbor

We are dedicated to maintaining “good neighbor” policies and responsibly caring for our neighbors. Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is dedicated to maintaining a peaceful family atmosphere for all residents and visitors of Monterey County. We belong to an organization called Monterey County Vacation Rental Alliance (http://www.mcvra.org) whose members pledge to inform all of our guests about local laws, subdivision rules, beach rules, safety, and respect for the neighborhood.

Guests Are Asked to Abide by the Following:

Please respect the neighborhood and your neighbor’s right to the quiet enjoyment of their home. Loud music and noise is prohibited at all times. Quiet time is from 9:00 pm to 8:00 am unless otherwise specified at each home. If the home you are renting is close to your neighbors, then we request that you bring all outdoor activities inside by 9:00 pm.

Overnight guests shall not exceed the property’s posted occupancy. Only registered guests shall occupy the rental unless written permission has been granted.

All rental properties are designated for residential use, consistent with the Monterey County Ordinance. Large groups, receptions, or other related events are not allowed per the contract.

Vehicles parked on premises shall not exceed the property’s published parking capacity. Guests should refer to their Access Documents for parking instructions and the parking capacity. Parking in neighboring yards or driveways is prohibited. Please do not turn around in the neighbors’ driveways.

Please drive slowly when entering and leaving the property, and in the neighborhood in general. Please be mindful of the sounds that come from your car especially late at night.

Motorhomes, campers, trailers, boats, and tents are prohibited and may not be parked or hooked up at rental property without prior approval.

Practice fire safety inside and outside the home. This is a drought and fire-prone area. All Sanctuary homes are Non- Smoking and charcoal grilling is strictly prohibited.

Only registered pets are allowed in designated rental properties with a signed pet addendum. Local leash laws and posted no-pets signs must be obeyed. Please do not leave your dog at the home unattended and always clean up after your dog.

Help keep Monterey County clean. Garbage should be bagged securely and placed in the trash bins provided. Recycle all plastic, glass, and paper products. City Code requires that all trash bins be returned to the house within 24 hours after it is picked up. Refer to the in-home Guest Welcome Book for further details about trash disposal and recycling.

Guests shall bring written directions with them. Please do not disturb the neighbors if you are lost. Do not hesitate to reach out to Sanctuary so we may assist you.
