Every home is privately owned, and while Break Away Vacation Rentals works diligently to provide the most accurate and up to date information about each property, we are not responsible for errors, omissions, alterations and complete changes to the decor or furnishings of the properties. We do not guarantee the presence of items and are not responsible to guests for any changes that alter sleeping arrangements etc.

Damage Deposits/Damage Waiver: Most Break Away Vacation Rentals vacation properties do not require a refundable security deposit. With each reservation, the guest is paying a Safely Assurance Fee. This fee is to cover accidental damages that may happen during a guest stay, as well as verification of a guest's identity and a check with criminal databases regarding the guest making the reservation. By signing this Rental agreement, you are giving permission to SafelyStay, Inc. to perform these checks. Complete terms regarding Safely's guest verification can be found on their website.

Occasionally, there are homes which do not qualify for the accidental damage protection or also require a security deposit. Those homes may require a Refundable Security Deposit of $500.00 or more. Vacation stays of less than 7 nights will require a Security Deposit. We will take payment of the Refundable Security Deposit no later than 48 hours prior to your arrival. Payments can be made by credit card, or ACH transaction for your convenience. Security deposit will be refunded by company check and within three weeks of your departure.

Occupancy/Overcrowding: Break Away Vacation Rentals advertises a set occupancy for each rental property based on septic design, square footage, number of beds, and specifications provided by the property owner. There is no time when overnight guests should exceed the advertised occupancy allowance for the home. Overcrowding is a serious situation and is grounds for immediate eviction. Please do not jeopardize your family and friends' vacation by overcrowding. If you need to rent a second home to allow for the extra members in your group, please do so. Tent camping and/or pop up campers are not allowed on any property without prior consent of the owner.

Day Guests/Gatherings: Break Away Vacation Rentals understands that a big part of vacation is entertaining family and friends. However, we caution you to be aware that restrictions do apply. Be sure to follow any rules/restrictions published for the condominium or homeowner association where the rental property is located regarding the maximum number of guests allowed as well as parking restrictions. We will provide you with a copy of those rules when you book your reservation. Some owners do not want their property over used and will restrict the number of day guests allowed at the property. Day guests are to respect common courtesy hours and can arrive after 9am and must depart by 9pm.

At no time are house parties, family reunions, weddings, or other large gatherings allowed without prior written consent. Please advise our vacation specialist if you wish to host a gathering when you book the reservation. If it is not possible to accommodate your gathering directly at the rental property we can assist you in securing a facility for your group.

Family Groups Welcome: All of our vacation homes are privately owned. Family groups are preferred. All responsible parties must be AT LEAST 25 years of age and must adhere to the occupancy restrictions as advertised in the listing information. Should a group misrepresent themselves, they will be evicted immediately without a refund.

Pets: Bring your family pet with you instead of leaving him or her in a cramped kennel while you are enjoying the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. There are many homes that welcome your dog to vacation with you for a designated fee. In most of those homes, pets are limited to two domestic, housebroken dogs. There is a $175.00 non-refundable pet fee for each pet; this fee will appear on your reservation confirmation. Let us know when making your reservation if your pet is coming along. We will provide you with a pet agreement. Pet agreements must be signed and returned to Break Away Vacation Rentals before your arrival. Please abide by the pet rules, which will be in your reservation confirmation materials and in your pre-arrival information. Pets in non-pet homes are strictly prohibited and will result in eviction. Day guests are not allowed to bring their pets regardless of whether the property is pet friendly or not.

High Speed Internet Access: Break Away Vacation Rentals encourages all properties to have some type of high-speed internet access. However, in some areas it is simply not available or the owner does not wish to provide it. High speed internet access is noted as an amenity on our website for each specific property. If it is not noted, the property does not have it. Bayside Rentals can refer you to one of the local internet access locations, if necessary.

Air Conditioning: Some homes with Break Away Vacation Rentals DO NOT have air conditioning or have limited access to A/C. New Hampshire weather, in general, does not make having air conditioning a necessity. If A/C is available in the home you are renting it will be noted in the Amenities section of your rental description. It will also note whether or not the house is equipped with central A/C or some other more limited form of A/C. Absolutely no A/C units may be brought into any home. PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU ARE IN A HOME WITH A/C AND THERE IS A BREAKDOWN, DUE TO THE LIMITATION OF AVAILABLE REPAIR SERVICES AND EQUIPMENT, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT A/C WILL BE REPAIRED QUICKLY.

Water Source/Potable Water: Many properties use lake water as its main source to operate the home. Please be mindful to check the water source of your rental and pack appropriate bottled water for drinking during your stay. If you have a question about the water source, please be sure to ask.

Kitchens: All kitchens are adequately stocked for everyday meal preparation and serving. You can expect to find the following items for at least the maximum occupancy: coffee maker, toaster or toaster oven, dishes, glasses, coffee mugs, flatware, serving dishes, pots and pans and cooking utensils. Extra kitchen items are provided according to the individual owner's preferences, not according to the size, location, or price of the home. If you are planning special meal preparations you should bring such items as: blender, food processor, extra-large or specialty pots and pans, chef's knives, specialty cooking utensils, etc. No paper products, soaps, detergents, kitchen or dining linen are supplied.

Docks: Docks may be private or part of a community. Please contact one of our vacation planning specialists to verify dock amenities. Community docks are limited to one watercraft and are subject to rules and restrictions set forth by that community. A private dock is accessible only to the occupants of the single house and may accommodate 1-2 boats. Please contact our reservation department if you have any question regarding dock use. Some of our homes require a security deposit on docks to ensure no damages occur from an inexperienced boater.

The owner's boat may be docked at the property and is not available for the guest's use. Please do not disturb or board the owner's boat. Owners sometimes choose to leave their boat at the dock and Break Away Vacation Rentals will not be able to accommodate requests to re-locate the owner's boat during your stay.

Lake levels do fluctuate and can affect a boater's access to their dock. In no way is the owner or Break Away Vacation Rentals liable for returning any sum of rent if the dock is not accessible due to varying lake levels. Max boat lengths are advertised and are based on the mean lake level.

Hot Tubs and Private Pools: Some of our homes offer private hot tubs and pools. For week long reservations, a hot tub technician may stop by the home between guests to check the hot tub and make any necessary adjustments. Private pools and hot tubs are cleaned and tested weekly to provide optimum water quality. If there are any problems with the hot tub and/or swimming pool including any mechanical, electrical or chemical problem, please call Break Away Vacation Rentals immediately. Do not enter the hot tub and/or swimming pool until the technician has cleared it for use.

Emergency Services: The essence of your vacation is to enjoy yourself, so we will make every effort to remedy "displeasing" situations and correct any problems you may experience in a timely manner. Please report any inoperative equipment or problems to our office promptly. Please understand that certain emergencies do take precedence. Appliance failures will be corrected as soon as possible. NO REFUNDS will be made for appliance or other mechanical breakdowns during the rental period.

For after-hours emergencies, you can call our local office phone number. This is for emergency maintenance situations only! For medical emergencies, dial 911. For non-emergency situations, please call during office hours or leave a detailed message. You can expect our courteous and professional staff to help remedy these situations; however, refunds will not be issued due to malfunctioning equipment or other guest dissatisfaction.
