RENTAL TERMS & CONDITIONS

Advance Payment Required Reservations

At the time of booking a credit card advance payment will be required equivalent to fifteen percent (15%) of the total due to include a non-refundable reservations fee (see "Reservations Fee" below). Optional travel insurance, which protects you from unexpected events such as hurricanes (see "Vacation Insurance Protection" below) is available for a fee of 6.5% of the reservation total, and if taken is also due at the time of booking. Reservations for condominiums made less than 30 days prior to arrival require payment in full immediately. All advance payments will be held in an interest bearing account with all interest going to the management company.

Reservation Fee

There will be a $25.00 reservation fee per unit booked. The reservation fee is automatically added to the reservation and will appear as a separate line item in the guest folio.

Cancellation Policy

Cancellation before final payment (30 days prior to arrival) will result in a loss equal to 15% of the total amount due plus the non-refundable reservation fee and travel insurance if purchased. (NOTE: Guest covered under Travel Guard rental vacation insurance are exempt from the 15% early-cancellation fee if the reason for cancellation is a covered reason under the travel insurance.) Cancellation after final payment will result in a 100% loss of the total cost of the stay. The 100% cancellation loss can be avoided if: (1) Travel Guard rental vacation insurance was purchased; or (2) Brooks and Shorey Resorts can re-rent the unit for the full term of the original rental period, in which case the guest will be charged a 10% rebooking fee in addition to the reservations fee. Prior to arrival, if a guest has to shorten their stay or change their unit, normal cancellation penalties may apply, whether they are insured or not. Refunds issued by Brooks and Shorey Resorts will be issued no more than 30 days after departure date of original stay. Refunds are payable to the guest within 30 days after the subsequent re-rent payment has cleared our account.

Full Payment Due

If you are renting a condominium, your remaining balance is due 30 days prior to your check-in date.

This balance includes the remaining eight-five percent (85%) of the listed rental rate and all taxes. All taxes are subject to change. Final payment is non-refundable upon cancellation unless the stay is rebooked (see "Cancellations" above). The guest is responsible for payment, deposits, and other responsibilities detailed in the confirmation correspondence.

Damage Deposit

All guests are required to select one of the two following options:

1. A credit card authorization in the amount of $300.00 is required as a damage deposit. This amount is reserved on your credit card and is dropped within 10 business days. In the event damage or loss occurs in your rented condo we will charge your card for the actual amount of ALL charges incurred, whether more or less than $300.00.
OR
2. Security Deposit Protection covers the cost of accidental damages to your rented condo. In lieu of tying up $300.00 on your credit card, we encourage you to take advantage of our damage waiver program. The damage waiver only costs $39.00 and covers up to $3,000.00 of damage.

Please note any damage to the property upon your arrival and report it immediately to your rental manager to avoid possible liability. Please, notify us immediately if any loss or damage occurs during your stay.
