Your safety matters. There are security cameras, located next to the front door facing out, and surveillance of exterior areas is monitored to ensure your safety.

Please be advised that if during surveillance of the exterior areas' malicious activity or destructive behavior is observed the security company will contact the owners and they will contact you immediately. Please make sure that your guests are not perpetrators of any sort of destruction to the premises. We expect that our guests will treat our property as if it were their own. If we are made aware this is not the case, do not be surprised if you receive an immediate call from us.

NEIGHBORHOOD QUIET HOURS:

Slice of Heaven is located in a very private secluded beachfront neighborhood. It is serene and tranquil, truly a heaven on earth setting for your enjoyment! Please have fun but be conscientious guests and help maintain this quiet peaceful environment throughout your stay. We don't want to jeopardize the great neighborhood relationships we've built and appreciate your help by keeping noise to a minimum especially during the overnight hours from 10pm - 8am. Noise travels very easily across the lake, campfire conversations are easily heard miles away.
