the cancellation or request to transfer to another rental home must be
in writing. Oral communication, even in an emergency situation, will
not be deemed received until receipt of written notification.

Canceling within 60 days of arrival
date, or after arrival date, forfeits all payments. If Guest cancels
within 60 days, a refund of payments may be provided if Manager is able
to rent the property for the same period. If Manager has to rent for a
discount, Guest will receive a pro-rata refund. We highly recommend that
Guest purchase Trip Cancellation/Interruption insurance to protect Guest
from anything that is out of the Guest's control.

outside entertainment.

[back to questions]
What if
something goes wrong with the vacation home during our stay?
You can call our
emergency number and we will get someone out to remedy the situation as
soon as possible.
Vacation homes
differ from hotels. A vacation home requires that Guest be somewhat
self-sufficient. Although we will do everything in our power to
accommodate a your request, the we cannot respond to requests in the
same way that a hotel can. When Guest rents a vacation home, they get
the comfort and convenience of a home away from home, but Guest will not
be able to "call the front desk" 24 hours a day. We expect you to:
·
Change a light bulb if one goes out
during your stay. Light bulbs are located under the kitchen sink.
·
Replace the toilet paper or paper towels
if they run out while you are there. Toilet paper is located in a
bathroom cabinet. Paper towels are located in a kitchen cabinet.
·
Keep the place tidy during your stay or
at the very least tidy-up before you check out (see checkout procedures
above). This includes doing the dishes, cleaning up spills, etc.
