Property Damages

Please respect the Paradise Point grounds and facilities as if they were your own. Leave the property in the same condition as it was found. If objects were moved during your stay please return them to their original location.

Each Renter may be required to provide a $500 cash security deposit (plus $50 for each approved pet). The full amount will be refunded within 10 days of check-out once the property has been inspected and determined to be without damage. The Renter is responsible for all damages to the rental property and its contents. All costs associated with repairs, cleaning, or replacement of the rental property or its contents shall be deducted from the security deposit. In the event the security deposit is not required or does not cover the cost of said repairs or replacements, renter shall pay costs within 15 days after receipt of notice of such costs.

• We will deduct $10 from the damage deposit for each excessively dirty or destroyed towel.  The provided towels are for inside use only and should never be used for cleaning up messes.  We DO NOT provide towels for swimming or hot tub use.
• If the facilities are left extremely dirty requiring cleaning above and beyond what is typical, a deduction will be made from the deposit to cover these costs. 
• Due to repeated problems with garbage left on the grounds, Paradise Point will deduct $5 for each piece of garbage found by the cleaning staff.  This includes items such as cigarette butts, bottle caps, napkins, broken water balloons, pet waste, etc.  Please walk the grounds after your stay and remove such items and please make sure that all persons occupying the facilities are aware of this policy.
• Also be aware that it is against the law to throw garbage or dump waste into the lake.  The city of Tacoma will aggressively prosecute violators.
• Only split firewood in designated enclosures can be burned.  No scavenging or burning of ANY other wood or materials on the property is allowed.  Burning of decorative driftwood scattered around the property will be grounds for forfeit of the entire damage deposit.
• Please clean any fish that you catch outside for the consideration of future guests.

Summer rates apply for the Christmas/New Year and Thanksgiving Holidays.

Other Amenities for Rent

Chopped wood for the outdoor fire pit and/or the wood stove can be purchased for $10 per day. Only split firewood in designated enclosures can be burned. No scavenging or burning of ANY other wood or materials is allowed (especially the driftwood displayed around the property). We suggest bringing your own fire starting items (matches, kindling, and paper). We try to stock matches in the bench out by the fire, in the St. Helens House by the fireplace, or in the kitchen in a drawer but these seem to go missing very quickly. Small kindling is not provided.

A three person canoe along with Kayaks are available to rent for $30 per stay. Indicate your desire for the canoe on your Rental Agreement.

 

Taxes

Paradise Point rental properties are subject to a State of Washington Sales and Hotel/Motel tax. The current combined tax rate is 9.8% but can change at any time.

 

Safety

Be vigilant at all times around the Paradise Point facilities and waterfront, especially with children. While the sheer cliffs offer breathtaking views they can be hazardous to people who are not paying attention. Remember that there is no lifeguard on duty for the lake or the hot tub; swimming is at your own risk. Please exercise extreme caution on and near the docks and other waterfront amenities. Also remember that the waterfront is not owned by Paradise Point but by the City of Tacoma.

 

Parking

There is limited parking inside the fence at Paradise Point. Please park your vehicles along the outside of the fence bordering the property. Do not interfere with the neighbor’s property or driveways. ALSO DO NOT DRIVE ANY VEHICLES PAST THE ST. HELENS HOUSE ON THE LAKE SIDE AS IT CAN DAMAGE THE SEPTIC SYSTEM. YOU WILL BE HELD MONETARILY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO THE SEPTIC SYSTEM AS A RESULT OF DISREGARDING THIS RULE.

 

Pets

Well behaved pets are welcome but are not permitted on the premises without prior permission. Approved pets require a Pet Approval Application, a taxable $50 fee, and a $50 refundable deposit before a pet can be allowed on the property. Owners are responsible for the behavior of their pets and are required to clean up after them. Owners are solely responsible for all damage and harm caused by their pet. Pets may not be left unattended, must be under direct physical control at all times.  They are not allowed to wander the property and into neighbors yards.  If they are allowed inside please do not allow them on any furniture including beds.  Any evidence of pets on furniture will result in additional cleaning fees.  Any evidence of pets not recorded on the rental agreement will also result in additional charges.  Remember, your group may not be the only one occupying the facilities. The Pet Approval Application includes the number, type, size, and disclosure of past behavior issues for the pet. Aggressive breeds are not allowed on the property.  Paradise Point reserves the right to reject any pet approval application without explanation.

Landline telephone service is not available in any of the Paradise Point Facilities. Wi-Fi service is also not available at the property.  Most cell phone providers now have good coverage in the area and many renters tether to their cell phones if they need Wi-Fi service.

Hot Tub

The hot tub is provided as a courtesy to our guests. Use extreme caution when using and supervise children at all times. Obviously no lifeguards of medical support are provided so use the hot tub at your own risk. Paradise Point will do everything possible to maintain the functionality of the hot tub but cannot guarantee that it will be functional at all times. Refunds or cancellations will not be allowed due to problems with the tub.

Paradise Point makes water testing equipment available for you to verify the chemical level before using. Please check the chemical levels immediately upon arriving. Remember that the tub may be used by others immediately before your visit. There are test strips and chemicals (bromine for shocking the water) in the cabinets above the refrigerator. There is also a manual for the tub on the kitchen counter. The tub temperature will probably be set on 90 degrees when you arrive. Be sure to increase the temperature using the arrows on the control panel and then start one of the circulation jets. Without these jets turned on the tub will not get hot very quickly. Please return the temperature setting to 90 degrees before leaving.

Paradise provides a hose and basin adjacent to the hot tub for rinsing feet. Please be sure to rinse off before entering the hot tub to assure that the filters can keep up during times of heavy use.

 

Fireplaces and Grills

The common area fire pit and waterfront is available to all guests using the property. Firewood is available for purchase. Please indicate on rental form if you would like firewood to be made available during your stay so that it can be prepared. The firewood charge will be $10 per day. Burning garbage in the fire pit is not allowed. Please do not gather firewood from the property or cut any from the resident trees.

Grilling is only permitted at a minimum distance of 25 feet from the house or cabin. No grilling is allowed on decks, porches, wooden walkways, or under carports. Please leave grill clean after use.

Please do not throw coals from the fire pit into the lake or the trash cans. Fires can start as a result of this careless practice, and it will be the responsibility of the tenant to pay for any resulting damages.
