How is staying in a condo different from a hotel room?

An individual condo is more spacious than a hotel room. You will have private bedrooms, a full-sized equipped kitchen, and a full-sized washer and dryer. Our condos will become your home away from home, so you will not have daily housekeeping nor will cleaning products be provided. We clean before you arrive and after your departure.

Do we need to clean the rental when we arrive?

Every rental is professionally cleaned and inspected before your arrival. If cleaning issues are found upon arrival, please contact us immediately on the day of arrival.

What are your payment terms?

50% of the reservation total is due at the time the reservation is made. The remaining balance is due 60 days before the check in date. If the reservation is made less than 60 days from the check in date the full amount is due when the reservation is made.

Do you offer travel insurance?

What if there is bad weather?

Should a hurricane or tropical storm threaten our area, we will follow the guidance of governing officials pertaining to mandatory evacuations. Weather is beyond our control and does not constitute a refund. However, some weather-related issues may be covered by travel insurance. We recommend that all guests purchase a travel insurance policy to protect their vacation investment!
