A: Should the need arise to cancel your reservation prior to 60 days of your arrival, regardless of 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.

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.
