Personal checks are acceptable for the final half if received at least 30 days prior to arrival. Credit card, cashier’s checks or travelers checks are acceptable after this period.

Limited Damage Waiver and Security Deposits

A “Limited Damage Waiver” is available for $50.00 and provides coverage for damages to the unit as a result of your inadvertent act or omissions during the duration of your stay. Maximum limit of this waiver or liability is $1000 aggregate per stay. These protection plan fees must be paid at the time of booking and are nonrefundable. Any damages must be reported in writing by the tenant’s time of departure to be covered. Tenant has the option to pay a $300 damage deposit in lieu of the “Limited Damage Waiver” if the party is 4 or fewer. The unit will be inspected after it is vacated. If the inspection results in a retention of any funds for the deposit, documentation will be sent along with any remaining balance. ALL RESERVATION DEPOSITS ARE RETURNED ON THE 15th OF THE MONTH FOLLOWING DEPARTURE DATE. (ex: a reservation with a 8/4 departure date will be refunded 9/15. ) Guests will be charged for any damages, missing items, additional cleaning, house occupancy over the limit, moving furniture, late check out, failure to return keys, trash removal, etc on the original credit card (if none is available, tenant will be billed).

Cancellation

All cancellations must be in writing. All monies paid are non-refundable if we are unable to re-rent the unit. If we are able to re-rent the unit, then all monies minus 25% will be refunded. Any change or transfer to other units or dates on the same unit are subject to a $50 transfer fee, provided that the original reservation is re-rented for the same rate and time.
