If you cancel within 30 days of your arrival, you must rebook your reservation for a future date applying all advanced deposits to the future booking. There are NO cancellations within 45 days of any holidays. There are also NO cancellations within 10 days of any other reservation of any kind. Should you need to cancel within 10 days of your arrival we will do all we can to rebook the unit for the full duration of your scheduled stay. If we are able to rebook your unit for the full duration of your reservation, we will allow you to reschedule your stay.

Reservations:

To make a reservation, simply pay a deposit equal to 50% of your total reservation. Payment in full to secure the unit is required no less than 10 days prior to arrival. If guest would like final payment to be charged to any other credit card, other than the card on file, then it is the guest responsibility to phone in the other payments on or before 10 days prior to arrival. Otherwise we will automatically charge the balance due to the original credit card on file 10 days prior to your arrival. If unable to charge balance due to credit card on file, we will make every attempt to contact guest for final payment, as reservations not paid in full at least 10 days prior to arrival are subject to cancellation without notice. If booking is made 14 days or less prior to arrival, then the entire balance will be charged at the time of booking.

Should you need to change your dates, you can reschedule your reservation any time with no penalty, as long as the change is processed at least 30 days prior to your arrival date. If you cancel more than 30 days from your arrival, we will provide an allowance in the amount of the forfeited deposit, less any applicable sales tax, for use on a future stay within one calendar year or a refund of deposit less $50.

In lieu of a normal security deposit there will be a non-refundable damage waiver fee applied to each reservation of $30. The damage waiver covers up to $1,000 in ACCIDENTAL damages. This does not cover negligent or willful and wanton conduct, non-accidental damage to the unit or its contents. Guest will be responsible for all intentional or reckless damages, and the credit card on file will be charged. Guest also authorizes agent to charge any expenses relating to intentional or reckless damage, cleaning of the unit beyond a normal clean, or theft of any property from the unit, to the credit card on file for that unit. The guest who provides their credit card for the deposit is considered the “responsible party,” and all necessary charges concerning said unit will be charged to the credit card on file, no matter who in the group caused the damage.

On the day of your scheduled arrival we will send a text message to the cell number we have on file with the keyless entry door code for your unit along with instructions on operating the keyless entry. If your cell phone does not receive text messages please inform us of this prior to your arrival so we can make alternate arrangements. Receiving this text message means your unit is clean, inspected and ready for your arrival and you may check in anytime after you have received this text.
