Things to know

House rules

The primary renter must be at least 35 years old. Smoking is not allowed. Additional guests require express approval. Events are prohibited under the standard events policy; any proposed event, commercial activity, rotating guest group or other non-traditional use requires prior written host approval and may involve additional fees and/or an increased security deposit. Reservations require approval before confirmation. Utility fees are included, but guests are responsible for excessive utility usage, defined as costs over $115.00 per night of the reservation. One end-of-stay cleaning is included. For stays longer than seven nights, one cleaning per week is mandatory at the guest's expense. Pets require owner approval; the dog approval fee is $150 per dog per booking, and additional fees and/or a security deposit may apply. Unless otherwise stated, payments are non-refundable. After cancellation, Marquis will use best efforts to work with the owner to reopen the dates, at the owner's discretion. If the original dates are rebooked at the same or a higher price, a refund less a penalty of 20% of the original total reservation amount is issued after full payment for the new reservation is collected. If no replacement reservation is made, guests may use their original dates if payments follow the agreed schedule and Marquis receives written notice at least 72 hours before the reservation starts. Credit-card balance payments are capped at $3,500; payments over $3,500 must be by check, ACH or wire. In lieu of a security deposit, the property has up to $25,000 of damage protection, with coverage details in the booking agreement. The owner may show the property to prospective renters or buyers, with efforts to provide advance notice and schedule reasonable daytime visits.

Getting there

The home is just off Montauk Highway, two miles north of Southampton Village. Stony Brook Southampton College and Marine Explorers Summer Day Camp are within walking distance. Four bedrooms are on the second floor, and the additional sleeping area is on the lower level. The property is not suitable for unrelated guests. Outside Memorial Day to Labor Day, inquire before booking about pool, hot tub, outdoor furniture and equipment availability; seasonal cleaning and updates typically occur in late April or early May.
