Note: By accepting the terms and conditions of 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 deposit and rent. Booking party MUST BE PRESENT during booked dates or you risk immediate eviction.

Payment methods: We take two payments - one at time of booking and one 45 days in advance unless you booked on short notice and I give you more time to pay.

1) initial down payment due by credit card only, at time of booking - approximately 20% but amount is in your quote.

2) Balance Due/Final Payment due 45 days in advance - for final payment, we accept VISA, MasterCard, American Express, personal check, cashier's check or money order.

TO RESERVE DATES - Approximately 20% of TOTAL DUE, up to a maximum of $1000, is due immediately AT TIME OF BOOKING. Bookings over 29 nights may require a larger initial payment. Credit Card ONLY for down payment.

FINAL PAYMENT/BALANCE DUE: Balance due 45 days prior to arrival except in occasions when you booked on short notice. In that case, 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 your booking.

CONFIRMATION:
This booking system generates a very detailed confirmation after you fill in booking form and submit down-payment. 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. We do provide a playpen, use at your own risk and please clean after use. MAX OF 6 ADULTS due to bunk beds.

No Pets
Absolutely NO PETS. 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 Owner's Association - not me. In addition, dogs are not allowed on our beaches by city law.

Parking : PARKING AT TURQUOISE PLACE Effective June 1, 2020, a new guest parking policy of the Turquoise Place Condominium Association goes into effect. All guest reservations arriving June 1st or later are subject to a Guest Vehicle Registration fee of $40.00 per vehicle per stay for up to TWO vehicles. This fee must be paid in advance at the time of booking. Parking onsite in the garage is only guaranteed for up to 2 vehicles registered in advance. Any vehicles not registered in advance are subject to the overflow parking fees, BASED ON AVAILABILITY.

Parking Restrictions: Parking passes are picked up at the "D" building front desk. You will need your CONFIRMATION from me showing the condo number, your name and dates, etc. and 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 parking. Security is tight, especially in peak season, so please make sure you place the passes in your dash.

Safety Issues: Further explained below, but bunks have a maximum weight of 150 lbs. NO ADULTS in BUNKS! Please remove ladders and set aside safely when not in use. We have adequate ACRYLIC GLASSWARE to use on the balcony. If you use glass and it breaks on the balcony, you are putting every guest - present AND future - at risk of getting shards in their feet, no matter how dilligently you think you have removed the broken glass. Please ONLY USE acrylic or plastic glasses when you are on the balcony. We cook on gas grill and inside kitchen cooktop with natural gas. Please shut gas off properly after use.

RENTAL POLICIES

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 more - 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 20% of FULL RENTAL CHARGES (after fees) - up to a maximum of $1000. If you are less than 30 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 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 $200 departure/one-time cleaning charge; this includes all your linen set-ups, cleaning the grill, etc.
• add $40 parking Fee
• add 13% Alabama Lodging Tax on all the above fees
• add $49 one-time damage insurance policy (not taxed)
• = TOTAL DUE
• Final payment may also be paid by cashier's check, money order, personal check in addition to credit card.

CONFIRMATION

A confirmation showing dates of visit, property information, check-in/check-out times, pricing, your contact info including cell phone number, and my contact info will be emailed to you after your booking form is completed and your down payment is received. Carefully CHECK your confirmation for accuracy and call me at 713.417.0306 or email boydaway805@yahoo.com immediately if any corrections are necessary; otherwise, it will be assumed correct.

PROBLEMS with AMENITIES

We cannot guarantee condition of amenities. There are multiple pools on this property and plenty to do. Occasional malfunctions or problems are not only temporary, but are out of our control. As soon as you report maintenance issues, we will send in a maintenance request and do the best we can, whether it be in our own condo, or on the property, to make the needed repairs. Please be patient as the maintenance issue is resolved. There will be no refund of monies due to state of disrepair of any amenity, in our condo, or on the property.

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.

REFUNDS and CANCELLATIONS

Please place all cancellation requests in writing by e-mail to boydaway805@yahoo.com

For full refund upon cancellation...

· cancellation must be BEFORE 60 days prior to check-in date if you are a weekly or nightly guest

· if your stay is 14 nights or longer, you must cancel at least 90 days prior to check-in date

· If you are inside the 60- and 90-day time frame discussed above, I will always put your dates back on the market and make every effort to rebook them, with rebooking cost mentioned below.

REBOOKING COST

· If I can rebook your canceled dates at same price - there is a 5% of TOTAL cost (incl fees) administrative fee to cancel. This helps deflect my time expense and the administrative cost of re-booking your canceled dates.

· If I rebook at a much lower price due to low demand or short-notice, I reserve the right to retain your funds to cover any discrepancy between the new price, and the original price at which you booked and will provide you with proof with new booking confirmation.

HURRICANE / WEATHER CANCELLATIONS - WE DO NOT REFUND FOR WEATHER!
At the time you book, you will be offered 'ALL SEASONS TRAVEL INSURANCE' and also 'CANCEL FOR ANY REASON' insurance.
We highly suggest if you are coming from July to October that you purchase the ALL SEASONS TRAVEL INSURANCE for just 7% of total charges. Page 4 of the policy (in link below) covers travel to our area during “INCLEMENT WEATHER,” and page 5 covers “NATURAL DISASTERS” such as hurricanes.

MAINTENANCE

Just as might occur at your own well-maintained home, mechanical failures and other breakdowns could occur. Every effort will be made to correct the situation; however, no refunds or rate adjustments will be made for mechanical failures.
• DAMAGE: Please report any damage or breakage within our condo, upon occurrence, by calling or e-mailing, 713.417.0306 and boydaway805@yahoo.com, so the matter can be settled before departure. Damages found by the cleaning crew upon your departure will be found to be caused by your party if not reported upon check-in.

These amenities are extras provided in addition to the condominium rental. Although all attempts will be made to correct the situation, some breakdowns cannot be prevented or repaired during your occupancy.
• MAINTENANCE VISITS: Maintenance technicians and vendors may access the property for purposes of repairing previously reported issues. Two regularly scheduled maintenance calls are pest control and hot-tub maintenance (hot tub serviced every third day), in addition to any immediate maintenance problems that have been reported.

CHECK-IN: Please do NOT use the check-in desk in our lobby as that is for building-managed properties. Everything you need to know including key retrieval, parking passes, wi-fi passwords, etc. is contained in your CHECK-IN/ACCESS details attachment you received via e-mail.

Check-In Time

• Check-in begins at 3:00 p.m.
• Key retrieval info and lost key info is in your check-in details.
• Early check-in is SOMETIMES possible but never guaranteed. Just like a hotel, we need time for the morning check-out to leave, for cleaning crew to clean and change linens, and make sure you have the cleanest condo possible. Therefore, we encourage you to enjoy our beaches and attractions if you arrive in the area early. If you have a special request for early check-in, we will accommodate you the best we can but it may be subject to change. If the prior night is vacant, we can usually give you an early check-in.
• Our housekeeping standards may require extra cleaning time on occasions, which may delay check-in.
• Although keys are readily retrieved when you arrive, no guarantee is made that properties will be cleaned by 3:00 p.m although this is normally the case. If you arrive and knock on the door and the cleaning crew is still present, you may place bags in the master closet ONLY and then leave for the beach, etc. The cleaning crew has standards to meet and a job to do, so please do not interrupt them. We want you to have the cleanest condo possible!

CHECK-OUT is at 10am prompt. Please confirm any late check-out agreements in writing prior to check-in.

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:

• If you used a bed, strip linens back - do NOT remake the bed
• Run a load of dishes in dishwasher - you don't need to unload but make sure you run the cycle before departure
• Run a load of towels/dishcloths upon departure in washing machine. If you had a 'full house' please do not leave the cleaning crew with 20 or 30 towels. We try to provide a generous amount of towels and there is a HUGE washer/dryer, but please run a cycle or two during your stay so that the next guest can check in on time.
• GAS - Make sure all gas burners, cooktop and outside grill are turned OFF. During your stay, if you 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 and pull plug OR turn temp DOWN.
• Turn A/C up to 82 or HEAT down to 66 on all controls.
• Gather all trash and place in receptacles at end of each hallway. Failure to do so could be a smelly disaster in the shoulder/off-season when cleaning crew may not arrive immediately.
• Lock door, return keys to lockbox, and TEXT or call the cleaning crew at 251.223.1919 with the words "OUT TP" to let them know you are out of the condo. If you don't do this, you may delay the next guests' check-in as the cleaning crew may be awaiting your departure and we don't like to rush you or have them enter the condo until you are gone.
• 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.

REPEAT GUEST ADVANTAGES

Our repeat guests receive first priority when returning. I will offer additional flexibility with discounts, with extended check-in/check-out times when possible, and will hold dates for future with no money down for seven days.
