A: Should the need arise to cancel your reservation prior to 60 days of your arrival, regardless of the reason (including bad weather, illness, or economic factors), you will receive a full refund minus the $25 non-refundable booking fee. Cancellations within 60 days will receive no refunds. There are no refunds for late arrivals, early departures, or for leaving the condo for mechanical failure of non-essential items.

A: Your property should be cleaned to your satisfaction when you arrive. Cleaning is included in your rental price. However, should the cleaning of the property exceed the hours expected, you will be charged $25 per hour from your credit card on file for any extra time it took to clean the property.

A: Whatever will make your vacation one of a lifetime! All of our properties are equipped with a full kitchen.

We provide basic amenities and there are some beach supplies in each condo.

Q: What happens if we leave something behind after we leave?
A: If we find an item, we will keep it for 30 days after check-out. Please contact us as soon as possible if you think an item was left behind in a condo. After 30 days, if we are not contacted, we will donate the item. We do charge a fee to retrieve and keep any items. In addition to shipping and handling charges to return your items left behind, we charge $25 to look for and store lost items. Please make sure to triple-check the rental property before you depart to make sure you leave nothing behind.
