More than the maximum number of guests allowed, reservations made by a non-staying guest, and/or underage renters, constitute a falsified reservation.

Cancellation: In the event of a cancellation it is necessary to notify owner as soon as possible. Attempts will be made to re-rent your accommodation. If we are successful, your money will be refunded. Renter may mitigate this loss by purchasing optional Travel Insurance or Cancel for Any Reason insurance offered by a third party provider
Hurricanes & Tropical Storms: There are NO REFUNDS for hurricanes, tropical storms or weather conditions, even if a mandatory evacuation is ordered. We encourage all renters to purchase rental insurance.
Condition of the Property: Owners have, to the best of their ability, given an accurate description of the property and its condition. Guest understands that it is considered as reserved “sight unseen”. Our cleaning staff will have cleaned it before your occupancy. All electrical, plumbing and appliances should be in working order. The failures of operation of certain extra amenities, such as large screen TVs, cable, games, or the Internet and Wi-Fi service are not a basis for any refund. Owner will make every effort to have these items repaired but does not guarantee that they will be repaired during Guests occupancy. When you arrive, if you find that the house has not been cleaned to normal standards please notify the Owner immediately. We will do our best to have tradesmen attend to the problems but may not be able to fix everything over holidays and weekends. Under no circumstances will any of the rental money be refunded or returned because of the condition of the house. The Guest agrees to hold the Owner harmless from any liability for the condition of the house.
