Note: By accepting the TERMS and CONDITIONS, a binding legal document, you are verifying that you are an adult age 25 or older at time of check-in, and financially responsible for any damage made by parties present during your occupancy dates. Any reservation made under false pretense will result in eviction with loss of any rents paid. Booking party MUST BE PRESENT during booked dates or you risk immediate eviction.

NOTICE

Please be aware that Vacations by Dana (Dana and Timothy Flynn) has no control over, and cannot be responsible for, conditions which may affect your planned vacation. 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. None of the foregoing conditions are grounds for cancellation of your rental and the cancellation policy will be enforced as written. 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.

Payment methods: We take two payments - one at time of booking and a later payment usually 45 to 60 days from arrival date. If you book on short notice, 100% full payment will be due at time of booking unless arranged otherwise with owner.

TO RESERVE DATES - per your quote, a percentage down payment is due immediately AT TIME OF BOOKING. Credit/Debit Card ONLY for down payment.

FINAL PAYMENT/BALANCE DUE: Balance due 45 - 60 days prior to arrival except on occasions when you booked on short notice or I have provided you longer to make final payment. Your due date is in the quote I gave you AND will appear on your reservation form. UPON BOOKING, you will have the opportunity to review all charges before submitting payment.

CONFIRMATION:
This booking system generates a very detailed confirmation which I send after reviewing your booking and receiving down-payment. I reserve the right to decline any booking and will refund/void your down payment immediately if I choose to do so. Please review the following information in rental terms, along with your confirmation that you will receive.

Maximum Occupancy
The stated "Maximum" is the maximum number of occupants allowed in this condo at any one time. (Exceptions for infants under age 2 only). Absolutely no house parties allowed. This condo will hold maximum of (10) guests, but a MAX OF 6 ADULTS due to bunk beds. We do provide a pack-n-play and high chair UPON REQUEST IN ADVANCE; use them at your own risk and please clean before and after use.

No Pets
Absolutely NO PETS for guests. If a pet or evidence of a pet is found in these properties, eviction and a forfeiture of rent will occur. This policy is set by the Home/Condo Owner's Association - not me personally.

Parking Restrictions: Parking passes are picked up at the front desk. The front desk will have your name; there are only two parking passes for this condo. The first parking spot is ASSIGNED with our unit number (location in your check-in details). The second is open, unmarked parking. Security is tight, especially in peak season, so please make sure you place the passes in your dash and only park in our marked "C2007" spot or a visitor spot. THIRD PARKING PASS is charged by the building and only upon availability. There is a free option also on Canal Road but it still requires a parking pass from the front desk. There is no parking for boats, trailers, jet skis, etc. nor for RVs and oversized trucks.

LENGTH OF RENTAL

• Three nights minimum by order of the Home Owner's Association.
• No other minimums apply - I do NOT force weekly - but I reserve the right during HOLIDAY periods to enforce longer minimum stays AT MY DISCRETION. During peak seasons, your booking must abut another booking - OR leave a 3-nt gap or longer - in order to not leave an 'unbookable' period.
• At this time, monthly reservations are available for Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb and I can usually include the first week of March (pro-rated) at snowbird rates.

INITIAL RESERVATION PAYMENT

• Initial Reservation Deposit is approximately 25% of FULL RENTAL CHARGES (after fees). If you are less than 60 days from check-in, all payments will be due immediately.
• Initial Reservation Deposit is payable via MasterCard, VISA, or American Express ONLY and is due at time of booking.
• Balance of total charges due is payable 45 - 60 days in advance of your check-in date. AT MY DISCRETION, I may allow you additional time to pay.

TOTAL FEE CALCULATION: Upon booking, you will review all charges, but here is the breakdown:

• Base nightly rate X number of nights (or weekly rate) as listed; we go by nights, not days.
• add $245 departure/one-time cleaning charge; this includes all your linen set-ups, cleaning the grill, etc.
• add $50 per parking pass/ vehicle (flat fee, not daily)
• add 15% Alabama Lodging Tax on all the above fees - increases to 16% on May 1, 2023.
  
• add $69 one-time damage waiver fee (not taxed so add last)
• = TOTAL DUE
• Final payment may also be paid by personal check in addition to credit card.

CHANGES in, and SERVICING OF AMENITIES/MAINTENANCE VISITS

No refunds or reservation discounts will be given due to changes or disrepair of amenities - such as, but not limited to: grill on balcony, pools, lazy river, hot tubs, bar and grill on site, elevators, air conditioner, TV/wi-fi, etc. We cannot guarantee condition of amenities. Occasional malfunctions or problems are not only temporary, but are out of our control. Please report problems with amenities immediately and in writing to us: 832.758.2331 or VacationsByDana@yahoo.com. We will send in a maintenance request and do the best we can, whether it be in our own condo, or on the property. Please be patient as the maintenance issue is resolved. SERVICE CALLS: Two regularly scheduled maintenance calls are pest control and hot-tub (on our balcony) maintenance, which is serviced every 3rd day during peak season and every 6th day during off season. There will occasionally be other authorized entry such as inspections, pest control, or other authorized entry by service personnel as needed. Please allow these service providers full access to the condo as needed.

DATE CHANGES - assuming dates are available

• 60 days minimum notice for rentals less than two weeks
• 120 days minimum notice for rentals 14 days or longer
• If you shorten your stay but do so 60 or more days in advance for 13-nt or less stays, and by 90 days in advance for 14-nt or longer stays, there is no penalty.

DAMAGE WAIVER FEE: REQUIRED WITH EVERY BOOKING, in lieu of a damage deposit.
Your $59 damage waiver fee covers accidental damages only, up to $2,000 repair or replacement value. Any intentional damages will be the responsibility of the leaseholder.

CANCELLATION POLICY - Review the policies carefully for complete understanding. Call us if you have any questions.

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.

Check-out RESPONSIBILITIES/LIST :

Our home requires a few check-out procedures to keep it running well for both you, and the next guest. Simply follow the CHECK-OUT LIST provided in your check-in details and on the reverse of the laminated WELCOME letter, most of which can be done the night before departure - also repeated below:

• Do NOT remake the beds you have used
  
• Start a load of dishes in dishwasher - you don't need to unload but make sure you load and start the cycle before departure
• Start a load of towels/dishcloths upon departure in washing machine
  
• GAS - Make sure all gas burners, cooktop and outside grill are turned OFF. During your stay, if you use the grill, please run the provided brush over grill while it's hot so it's easier to clean
• Make sure all glass sliders are securely closed and locked
• Place cover back on Hot Tub
• Turn A/C up to 78 or HEAT down to 66
• Gather and BAG all trash and place in trash chute just outside your door, to the right of the elevators in the utility room. Failure to do so could be a smelly disaster in the shoulder/off-season when cleaning crew may not arrive immediately
• Leave entry key on kitchen counter, hang up all other keys, lock door, and TEXT the cleaning crew at 251.504.1224 with the words "OUT TP C2007" to let them know you are out of the condo. This OUT text is very helpful in helping the cleaning crew schedule, so please remember to text them upon leaving. They have authorization to enter the condo at 10am.
• Be safe going home! If it's summer and you're leaving on a weekend, stop and have lunch to avoid the traffic - OR stay and use the beach longer and shower downstairs on the fourth floor.
