What deposit is required when making a reservation?
The deposit is 25% of the total amount due. This deposit can be paid by credit card or you can mail us a check if you book over the phone. The deposit goes toward the total amount owed and you will receive a confirmation with updated balance.
When is the remaining balance due?
The remaining balance of your reservation is due and payable 15 days prior to your arrival. The credit card on file will automatically be charged 15 days prior to your arrival unless the guest has made other arrangements.
What is your cancellation policy?
We have a 30 day cancellation policy. If you cancel your reservation prior to 30 days before your scheduled arrival date, you will receive a full refund of your deposit less a 10% cancellation fee. Payment is due in full 15 days before your arrival date. There are no refunds after this date. We have a partnership with Rental Guardian Travel Insurance to offer you protection for your vacation investment.
What is your hurricane policy?
There are no refunds issued due to inclement weather including hurricanes. We will only refund if there is a mandatory evacuation by the National Weather Service for Nueces County and only for the dates of the evacuation.
We offer travel insurance that not only protects you against hurricane losses at your destination home, but also at your place of residence. Please look over the Rental Guardian Travel Insurance that we offer to see if it is right for you.
