Rental Agreement

A Rental Agreement will be emailed after the reservation is confirmed. We ask that you review, complete and sign this agreement at your earliest convenience so there are no delays in processing your reservation.

Check-in instructions will only be provided after we have a signed Rental Agreement.  Failure to return the Rental Agreement by the day of your scheduled arrival will result in the cancellation of your reservation as a result of not meeting a stated booking requirement. No refunds will be given for reservations cancelled due to failure to sign the Rental Agreement.

 

Excessive Noise

Please be respectful of the neighbors. No loud noises, music, loud vehicles are allowed between the hours of 10:00 pm and 7:00 am. Please note if the these are not followed you can be fined and asked to vacate the property. Certain properties located inside city limits also have noise ordinances that can result in fines and fees from law enforcement.

 

Approved Guests and Use

The Premises are for the sole use as a personal vacation residence by Approved Guests. The primary renter is responsible for any guests that use the property during the reservation period. Guests may not exceed maximum occupancy for the Property at any time. If the Premises are used, in any way, by more than the maximum allowed guests, (i) Guest and all others may be required to immediately leave the Premises or be removed from the Premises; and (ii) Guest forfeits its right to return of any monies collected.

 

Occupancy

Approved Guests are persons who will occupy the Premises. No unlawful activity or any other activity that constitutes a nuisance is permitted on Premises. Approved Guests take full responsibility for all lost or broken items, and any damages to the Property of any kind. No guests in excess of the maximum occupancy specified in the rental agreement shall occupy the property. Breach of this will result in immediate termination of the rental agreement with a forfeiture of the entire rental amounts and or security deposit.

The sleeping capacity for this property is limited to the number of beds provided (either standard or portable/air mattresses), so twin beds sleep 1 guest; double, queen and king beds sleep 2 guests each. Extra guests beyond the maximum sleeping capacity are not allowed without the expressed written permission in advance and an additional fee, if applicable.

 

Unavailability

If for any reason beyond the control of Management, the property becomes unavailable, Management may substitute a comparable unit or cancel this Agreement and refund in full all payments made by Guest.

 

Video Surveillance

The Property may have cameras placed near the front entrance or parking area, facing the dock or other outside areas. There are no cameras on the inside of the home. This video footage is not shared and is recorded for liability reasons in the cases of a break-in, death, injury, guests sneaking in pets, guests disregarding the maximum occupancy allowed, and in no way infringes upon the guests’ expectations of privacy in these public areas of the property. Any attempt at disabling or obscuring the cameras is prohibited and may result in the guest being evicted without refund. The full deposit will be forfeited if any of the above are found. You will also be asked to leave the property immediately without any money returned.

 

Pets

Pet policies vary by property. For properties allowing pets, there will be an additional Agreement stating what the expectations and fees are. When pets are allowed, we will always require a copy of current vaccination records.

Violation of pet policies or bringing pets into properties that do not allow pets will result in forfeiture of any security deposit (or a claim against the damage policy) and could result in your reservation being cancelled and you being asked to leave without a refund.

 

Cancellations

When you confirm your reservation, the property is no longer made available to other potential guests. The closer it gets to your arrival date the harder it is for us to re-rent that property if you cancel. Therefore, our cancellation policy is as follows:

  • Cancellation at least 30 days prior to your scheduled arrival will result in a full refund minus our administrative processing fee*
  • Cancellation 15 – 30 days prior to your scheduled arrival will result in a 50% refund minus our administrative processing fee * or you can reschedule within six months
  • Cancellation within 14 days is non-refundable

We understand life happens and sometimes our guests need to cancel special circumstances such as death, illness, injury or some other type of emergency. We offer travel insurance for additional protection if you wish to add that to your reservation.

*Our administrative processing fee equals either a minimum of $50.00 or 3.5% of the reservation total, whichever is greater.

We do not issue refunds due to acts of nature such as weather, road conditions, snow conditions or power outages.
