Please remember that when we put you on the calendar we start turning other prospective renters away from the time you have reserved.  Ultimately we can not absorb all of your losses if you cancel at the last minute regardless of the reason.  When that happens we both lose.

1.  I have a first come first served policy for reservations.  In other words he who pays first.

2.  The length of time I will hold a time slot until payment arrives is generally a week but is ultimately at my discretion.

3.  Changing weeks is allowable up unto 46 days and after that at my discretion as long as it will not cause a permanent vacancy.  If you are already within the forty five day period described in clause five then the refund period remains expired despite the change in dates.

4.  To receive a refund of your payment cancellations must be made prior to 45 days before your arrival.  In other words a cancellation made 46 days before your arrival would be eligible for a refund while a cancellation made 45 days before your arrival may not be.  Obviously reservations made within the 45 day period may not be refunded except as follows.  Refunds of payments made within the 45 day time period, being either a deposit, a portion or the rent in its entirety may not be returned unless the week(s) you had reserved/rented is re-rented to another party.  Additionally at my discretion I may choose to lower the re-rental price if I feel that it is the best option for re-renting the time and for getting you at least some of your money back.  And obviously, even if sucessful your refund would be diminished.  Sums paid over and above rents, fees and taxes will be returned in case of a cancellation.
(Clause five does not apply to any rental period of more than one week. Multiple weeks or properties rented are usually paid in full at the time of the reservation and payments are non-refundable except in the case of re-rental.)

Although losing your funds when cancelling your reservation is customary in the business we know things happen that are beyond anyones control.  So at our discretion we do allow rescheduling as provided by the terms below:

• If you have been paid in full - you will be assessed an additional twenty five percent fee based upon the rental amount at the time of rescheduling.  Example: if the rent is $600 you will be assessed and additional fee of $150.
• If you have been paid in full - you may reschedule time in between the 2nd Saturday in September and the 2nd Saturday in June.
• If you have been paid in full - during the summer period rescheduling is allowed only at the last minute if there is a vacancy.  In other words, if on a Sunday or Monday the coming week is open.

5.  The fee for cancellations is $25.

6.  Any refund at any time shall be minus any fees, rents, taxes, losses and any fees from Paypal or other institutions.

6.  All or a portion of the normally refundable security deposit may be retained in the case of there being damage, losses (including utilities) or if there is a need for excessive cleaning of the premises.

7.  Posted occupancy is interpreted strictly.  In the case that I believe you have an undeclared pet or person there will be and additional rent/cleaning fee (as whichever the case may be) and you agree to pay the next higher rate or an additional fee that I consider reasonable which will be retained from the security deposit.  In addition, if you received a lesser than posted rate or in the case of a non-posted daily rate.  That discounted rate, rate or agreement will be void at my discretion and you agree to pay the next higher rate or an additional fee that I consider reasonable.

8.  Any amounts paid by you for rent, other, taxes or security deposit are applied in that order without exception.

9.  No other clause in these policies shall relieve the tenant of further responsibility for damages or losses incurred costing in excess of the security deposit retained.

10.  The above terms are subject to change.

11.  By reserving/renting you agree to these terms.
