This includes the closing of, or limitations on, use of the beach or waters as result of weather, health or other conditions; limitations on and/or interruption of travel whether by private vehicle or public transportation; or the closure or unavailability of local facilities such as restaurants, stores, pools, parks and other attractions.

We strongly encourage you to obtain trip insurance or other similar protection, in the event any of these types of conditions, limitations or closures are in effect at the time of your planned travel or vacation.

PLEASE REVIEW THESE RENTAL TERMS BEFORE BOOKING

1. CHECK-IN TIME IS AFTER 3 P.M. CST, AND CHECK-OUT IS 10 A.M. CST. NO early check-ins or late check-outs unless expressly permitted in writing prior to check-in. IF AVAILABLE, we will provide early/late check-in/check-out, but this is not guaranteed and may depend on last-minute bookings that abut the dates of your stay. Please check-out on time at 10AM. The cleaning crew has authorization to enter the condo at 10am on day of check-out.

2. This is a NON SMOKING unit! You will be charged a comprehensive cleaning fee in addition to original cleaning fee if there is ANY smell of smoke in the unit. If you choose to smoke on the balcony, DO NOT LEAVE THE SLIDERS OPEN WHILE YOU SMOKE, and please dispose of your cigarette butts properly.

3. PETS are not permitted in our units under any conditions. This is a COA rule and you will face eviction if found with pets in our building.

4. AGE MINIMUM: Responsible party must be 23 years of age unless accompanied by an adult guardian or parent. I reserve the right to raise the normal minimum age at my discretion based on inherent risk, and/or charge an additional refundable security deposit. No party groups, student groups, etc. and any all-adult, non-familial groups will need to ALL be age 25 or older.

5. BUNK BED CAUTION: NO persons over 150 lbs or over age 12 in top bunks as directed by manufacturer, for your safety! Please be aware of ceiling fans also, due to proximity to top bunk.

6. DAMAGE INSURANCE: REQUIRED WITH EVERY BOOKING, and automatically purchased on your behalf, in lieu of a damage deposit.
Accidental damage protection is included for any damages or accidents, subject to exclusions and limitations that occur to the premises during your rental period up to $3,000. Any damage or accident that is not covered under the policy will be the responsibility of the leaseholder.

Call the (866) number in the pamphlet for more info, click on link here: TRAVEL GUARD DAMAGE INSURANCE TERMS. The purchase of the insurance still requires you to follow the check-out list outlined in the check-out details, and you must follow all terms and conditions.

7. DOWN PAYMENT - All bookings require an initial down payment of approximately 25% to reserve your dates, depending on your total rental amount. This down payment must be paid by credit/debit card ONLY upon booking or your lease will not be valid. Once you have committed to the dates, you will fill in the booking form and use the credit card screen to pay via credit card.

8. CALCULATION OF FEES - The down payment is due immediately to hold your dates.
Total amount due is calculated:
base rental charges (nightly X number of nights, or weekly)
+ one-time cleaning fee of $115
+ one-time $20 parking pass fee per vehicle
+ Alabama lodging tax of 13% on that sub-total
+ $49 insurance policy in lieu of damage deposit
9. BALANCE DUE DATE -
Short-term rentals (less than one month), balance is due 30 days in advance OR whatever we agreed to.
Long term rentals (one month or longer), balance is due 60 days in advance of check-in. Your due date is in the provided confirmation after booking. Payment reminders by email are automated and include a credit card link. A personal check to my TEXAS address is acceptable also as long as it arrives by 10 days in advance of your check-in date. Your payment reminder will also include a link for paying by ECHECK. Let me know if you are mailing a physical check.
10. CANCELLATION POLICY - Review the policies carefully for complete understanding. Call us if you have any questions.
We have two policies: one for short-term renters; another for long-term renters. All cancellations will result in payment of cancellation fees.
A) For Vacations less than one month in duration:
Cancellations that are made MORE THAN 60 DAYS PRIOR TO ARRIVAL will be refunded their initial down payment, minus an administrative fee of $100.
Cancellations made WITHIN 60 DAYS OF ARRIVAL or changes to contract that result in a shortened stay, will forfeit all payments. Early departure does not warrant any refund of rent or deposit.
B) For Vacations more than one month long in duration: Cancellations made MORE THAN 120 DAYS PRIOR TO ARRIVAL will be refunded the initial down payment refunded, minus an administrative fee of $150. Cancellations made WITHIN 120 DAYS OF ARRIVAL or changes to contract that result in a shorter stay, will forfeit full payment. Early departure does not warrant any refund of rent or deposit.
AS A COUTESY TO OUR GUESTS WHOSE CANCELLATION RESULTS IN LOSING PAYMENTS (does not apply to the administrative/cancellation fee), we will put your dates back on the rental market and try to rebook them. If we can secure another guest for a similar price, we will issue a refund minus a cancellation fee; however, any differences in rental revenue will also be deducted from the refund. (We often must reduce our nightly rental price to entice guests to book on short notice.) There are no guarantees that we will be able to rebook your dates or refund your money.
We will work diligently to rebook the dates so that we can refund to you as much as possible, but there are no guarantees. We reserve those dates for you in good faith, and we must assume you are coming. When you cancel, we have already declined other opportunities to rent those dates to potential guests.

11. WEATHER/ HURRICANE/ STORM/ BEACH CONDITIONS POLICY - No weather refunds are given, and no beach condition refunds are given - no exceptions. Weather is out of our control and predictions are unreliable. We are also not responsible for "beach access" which can sometimes be damaged by storms. Our water and beaches can be disturbed by mother nature with conditions such as rough surf, double red flag (no swimming), seaweed, jellyfish, algae blooms, red tide, oil spills, and other conditions. These are out of our control and can change on a daily basis, and we are not responsible for any beach closures or condition of the water. At time of booking, you will be offered the below policy - or you are welcome to purchase your own policy.
