Vacation Rental Agreement

This is your short-term vacation rental agreement. This agreement outlines everything you need to know about our rental policies for our property. Our goal is to ensure that your stay at our property is wonderful and meets all of your expectations. If you have any questions, please email or call us.

Rental Agreement: This Agreement (agreement) constitutes a contract between the Guest (you, your) and Owner (us, we, our) of the Vacation Rental Property (property). By signing this agreement, you and your guests are agreeing to all terms and conditions listed in the rental agreement. Your vacation rental is a transient rental under state law. This means that your tenancy is temporary for the stated time period only. At no time is the property to be sublet or assigned to another individual. Please do not make any repairs, alterations, or improvements in or about the property.

Confirmation of Reservation: Your reservation is confirmed when we receive your electronically signed rental agreement and an advance payment equal to 50% of the rental rate. The name on this agreement must be an adult who is at least 25 years old, and will be the responsible party for the reservation and all rental obligations.

Payment Schedule: Please make payments via credit card. An advance payment equal to 50% of the total reservation amount is required at the time of booking. The full balance of the reservation amount is due 60 days before your arrival date. Reservations made less than 60 days prior to arrival require full payment at the time of booking.

Security Deposit: A security deposit is required at our discretion. The property is inspected before and after every tenancy. If damage occurs to the property in excess of the security deposit, you agree to pay any and all damage charges above the security deposit with the credit card on file. Otherwise, the security deposit, less any charges occured when applicable, will be refunded after your departure. Your security deposit will be fully refunded after your departure, providing the following provisions were met: (1) no smoking; (2) no pets; (3) no theft or missing items; (4) no damage to the property or its contents beyond normal wear and tear. Each missing wristband will incur a charge of $30.

Cancellation Policy: If the reservation is made more than 60 days before your stay begins, there is a 48 hour grace period to cancel for a full refund; otherwise there is no grace period. If you owe a second payment, and this second payment is not received by the 60th day before your stay begins, the owner reserves the right to cancel your reservation without giving any refunds. If you cancel your reservation more than 60 days from the stay date, but after the 48 hour grace period, you will be refunded your first payment, minus a $200 cancellation fee. If you cancel your reservation between 14-60 days from the stay date, you will be refunded 50% of the reservation total, minus a $200 cancellation fee. If you cancel your reservation less than 14 days before the stay date, you will not be refunded. In the event a security deposit or portion of said deposit was paid prior to reservation cancellation, this deposit amount that was paid will be refunded in full.

Severe Weather/Hurricanes/Tropical Storms: There are no refunds for severe weather including hurricanes and tropical storms. It is highly recommended, but not required, that you purchase travel insurance. It is up to you to purchase the insurance; it is not our responsibility.

Travel Insurance Provided by TRAVEL GUARD: Every year, snowstorms, hurricanes and other unexpected weather events cause travelers to delay, interrupt or even cancel their trips completely. A travel insurance plan can help cover your vacation investment. Specific coverage questions should be directed to Travel Guard (1.877.249.5376 or www.travelguard.com/astp/inland).

Upon departure, if the cleaning company detects any evidence of a pet, you will forfeit your entire deposit and additional fees may apply.
