Accommodations

Why should I rent a vacation rental instead of a hotel room?

A vacation rental is much more like a home. Each unit is individually owned and is decorated in a unique style. All of the units we offer for rent have full kitchens which can cut down on costs and provide convenience, especially when traveling with children! The pictures on our website are accurate depictions of the unit and its view. Hotels can guarantee a view category but do not let you know the exact unit # nor do they say how good the view will be.

What is the difference between an “oceanfront” and “ocean view” condo?

“Oceanfront” view is an unobstructed 180 degree view of the ocean. “Ocean view” would be a view of the ocean with possible obstructions or a view at an angle or between two objects or buildings.

What is the difference between VRBO/HomeAwayAirBnB and your site?

VRBO/HomeAway/AirBnB are advertising sites. We are the property management company that manages everything from marketing to maintenance and housekeeping. We advertise on VRBO and other sites to get our homes the most visibility.

Cancellation Policy

$300 cancellation fee on all reservations up to 60 days prior to check-in

No refund less than 60 days prior to check-in unless it can be re-rented

Check-in & Check-out

Do you allow early check-ins and late check-outs?

We are no longer able to allow early check-ins and late check-outs due to the new COVID-19 cleaning protocols. We do offer a program where you can purchase a partial day or later check-out (up until 8PM) can be purchased for a half day’s rent plus tax. We cannot confirm a late check-out until the day before your designated date of check-out unless it was arranged at time of booking.

Do I have to check-in by a certain time?

Check-in is at 4pm and guests can arrive any time after. All of our units have lock boxes or keypads and you can go directly to the unit.

What are the check-out procedures?

Check-out is at 10AM on the designated date of checkout. Upon your departure we ask that you take the trash out, start the dishwasher with detergent, secure all windows and doors, turn off fans, lights and AC. For those units with keys, please leave them on the kitchen counter, making sure there is also a key in the lockbox.

Housekeeping & Maintenance

What are your COVID-19 Cleaning Protocols?

Our Housekeeping service uses cleaning and disinfecting protocols recommended by the CDC and WHO to clean between guests, with particular attention paid to high-touch items such as door knobs, light switches, cabinet pulls, etc. As more information regarding the spread of covid-19 becomes available, we will adapt our cleaning protocols with the health and safety of our guests and vendors.

Can I clean the condo myself upon check-out, rather than using your cleaning services?

No. Guests are instructed not to clean or launder any items in the condo upon their departure. Our housekeeping team follows very strict cleaning and sanitation standards and is required to clean the condo after each guest vacates.

Do you provide daily maid service?

In order to keep our rates lower than hotel rates, we do not provide daily maid service. This leaves you with privacy and the convenience of washing your own laundry as most condos have a washer and dryer. Maid service may be arranged for a nominal fee. Please contact our office for details.

We’ve run out of toilet paper, dishwashing soap, etc. Can you bring us some more?

The housekeeping department provides a starter kit of basic necessities in the kitchen and bath(s), and these items will need to be replenished by guest(s) as needed.

We can’t get the TV/DVD/Internet/etc. working. Are there instructions in the unit?

Our GuestBook, that is sent by text two weeks prior to arrival, has WIFI information along with instructions for TV, etc. The network and password information can also be found on the router in the unit. If you need further assistance, please text us at 808-664-4984.
