Additional rules: House Rules & Guest Responsibilities We kindly ask that you review and confirm acceptance of the following House Rules on behalf of yourself and all guests in your party. These standards help us protect our homes, respect our neighbors, and ensure every guest has a serene Sojourn experience. 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.

Do not use towels or bedding for cleaning, makeup removal, hair dye or any other activities that could permanently stain the linens.

The house is beautiful and spacious. It was 9 of us plus my dog and we all fit comfortably in our own rooms. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. We loved ocean view beach, calm and not too many people. The only thing I want to mention is that there was a lot of flies going around the house! I’d suggest to bring bug and fly spray. Other than that everything was just amazing. Definitely we will return.

My family stayed at Sojourn’s place and enjoyed it while we stayed there. The place was clean. The most importantly bathroom/toilets, towels and bed sheets were clean which is really important for us. I specifically liked their sunroom setup with an extended dining table for a big family. I would highly recommend this place.
