RATES and STAY REQUIREMENTS:

• I require a 3 night minimum but during holiday periods, a longer stay may be required.
• Monthly rentals available only in November, December, January and February

RESERVATION PRIORITY FOR SANIBEL 1102 GUEST:

As a special service to my valued guests, current visitors have the first option to reserve the same property, for the same time next year. Guests have made their beach vacations a family tradition year after year and I would love to see you again at Reese’s Retreat. Book online at ivacationonline.com, property I.D. #6661 during your stay to reserve your vacation next year.

WE PROVIDE:

• Bed linens, blankets, and pillows
• Essential kitchen items
• Start-up supply of soap and paper products
• Bath towels (don’t forget your beach towels!)

FINANCIAL: I accept MasterCard, and Visa, plus personal checks for final payment only.

• Down Payment is only by credit card.
• When paying second payment by check, please include the dates of vacation on the check. Write and mail to Marcia Mullens: PO Box 131392, Spring, TX. 77393. Notify me that you have sent a check thru text or phone call and I will be looking for the check to arrive and I will confirm receipt. The check must clear the bank at least a week prior to your arrival. Please do not mail a check if you are fewer than 14 days from arrival.

PRIVACY POLICY: Since the guest inputs their information, we never see, nor retain credit card numbers. Your second/final payment is never automatically charged so look for a payment reminder email with credit card link when it's due. We will not provide your information to any 3rd party company.
