Pest Control: Because the property is located in a humid, sub-tropical climate, there is always the possibility of a guest encountering various pests and critters indigenous to our location and/or potentially present in any lodging establishment. The owners provide regular and precautionary treatment for pest control and animal control. Although we clean, sanitize, and treat the property on a regular basis, no amount of prevention can 100% eliminate the possibility of an encounter. Guests agree to hold the owners harmless for encountering any pests or critters whether outside or inside the property. The owners will make every effort to address pest control concerns reported during stay, but are not responsible for refunds due to the presence of pests or in the event of untimely service by pest control companies.

Refunds: Refunds will not be given for delayed arrivals or early departure, reschedules due to inclement weather, utility outages (including internet and cable), or for mechanical failure of items such as an air conditioner, TV, dishwasher, washer/dryer, or other such items. If, due to Act of God or unforeseen circumstance, the property becomes unavailable for rental to the guest, the owner’s liability shall be limited to the refund of any deposits or rental amounts previously paid. We recommend Travel Insurance.

To protect against cancellations caused by certain unforeseen events, such as illness, death, natural disasters, etc., we recommend that guests purchase trip insurance. Guests with COVID-19 are not allowed to stay on the property.

Severe Weather and Hurricanes: We do not refund rents or deposits lost due to canceled or shortened stays because of weather. We do not allow cancellations, refunds, or rescheduling due to an impending storm or hurricane, hurricane watch or warning. We do not allow cancellations, refunds, or rescheduling due to cancelled flights, closed travel routes, or travel delays and interruptions. Early departures due to inclement weather do not warrant refund of rent or deposit. In the event of a Mandatory Hurricane Evacuation directly impacting the location of the property you have rented by a local or government authority, we will issue a monetary in-house credit for the days of your stay which fall under the Mandatory Hurricane Evacuation. The credit is valid for 6 months from issuance and may be applied toward any available date at any of our properties. If the cost of the new stay exceeds the credit amount, the guest is responsible for any additional amount due. The credit will not be given in the form of a refund. We strongly suggest purchasing travel insurance for stays during the hurricane season (June - November).

A material breach of this agreement by guests which in the sole determination of the owner or its representatives that results in damage of the premises, personal injury to others, a breach of peace or violation of criminal of law or local code should be grounds of termination of the guest’s tenancy.
