This is the maximum number of people (including children age 3 and up; infants age 2 and under do not count towards occupancy) that are allowed at the property at all times. The maximum occupancy for a vacation rental is mandated by the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance and is strictly enforced. In the event the maximum occupancy is exceeded, the Property Management Company (PMC) reserves the right to charge a minimum $1000 violation penalty, plus any costs incurred by the PMC and/or the property owner as a result of the ordinance violation, excessive wear and tear to the property, extra cleaning, and damages to the property and/or surrounding properties.

Although each property is completely equipped for rental purposes, we cannot accept responsibility for aesthetic conflicts.

When guests are unable to preview vacation home in person, guests accept such property as described and hold the agency harmless for any discrepancies upon taking occupancy.
