This addendum is not intended to be a substitute for the actual ordinances, but a brief summary of what we consider to be some of the major regulations that our guests should be aware of.

1. The city limits the maximum number of persons allowed on rental property at any time. Please check with Island Realty since stricter limits probably apply to your rental.

2. The maximum number of overnight occupants is stated on page one of the reservation agreement.

3. The maximum number of vehicles allowed on the property overnight is stated on page one of the reservation agreement.

4. From 10:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m., no loud noises (voices, stereos, etc.) are allowed.

I agree to be bound by the above provisions. I further agree that I will be
responsible for any fines levied against the owner, Island Realty or me as a
result of any violation by me or any other guest at the property.
