Violation of these rules could result in a termination of your reservation without refund. No Smoking To keep things fresh and comfortable for all guests, smoking (including cigarettes, marijuana, and vaping) is not allowed inside the home or within 50 feet of the building—including outdoor spaces. If smoke is reported or detected, we may need to end your stay, apply a $500 cleaning fee, and report the issue to the booking platform. We hope you understand—it’s all about keeping the space pleasant for everyone. Parties or Events Quiet Enjoyment We love a good time—but we also love our peace and quiet! Parties and events aren’t allowed, and all of our homes have decibel readers that help us monitor for loud noise (don’t worry—they don’t record anything). If we receive a report about excessive noise or gatherings, a team member may check in, and your reservation could be canceled without refund. Thanks for helping us keep things serene for our neighbors and other guests!

These are used for guest safety, property protection, and in some cases to ensure compliance with local city regulations. There are no interior cameras inside any of our homes. Plumbing Etiquette — What Not to Flush or Dispose Please only flush toilet paper—no wipes, feminine products, or anything else. And avoid putting grease or non-food items down the drain or garbage disposal. Plumbing repairs can be expensive, and we’d hate to have to pass that cost along to you! Linens & Care At Sojourn, we provide luxury linens of the highest quality for your comfort. We kindly ask that you help us care for them by following these guidelines. Do not use towels or bedding for cleaning, makeup removal, hair dye or any other activities that could permanently stain the linens. If linens are found to be permanently stained or damaged, we will request reimbursement for the cost of replacement.

My wife and I would like to extend our appreciation and gratitude for affording us the opportunity to enjoy such a great beach house. This home exceeded our expectations and was in the perfect location with only a two minute walk to the beach. Whether sitting on the back porch with a cup of coffee listening to the waves crash or relaxing on the beach, you can’t go wrong with this home. The open kitchen and vaulted ceilings were also a plus. Hosts did an excellent job of communicating, working as a team, and were always willing to go above and beyond to ensure our expectations were exceeded. Great job team Sojourn!

This rental was everything we were looking for. Beautiful decor and comfortable space for my family which includes 4 teens. Super close to the private beach. A short drive to shops and restaurants. Just watch out for the Duck Rd traffic on the weekend! Highly recommend.
