Renting a Vacation Home
After reviewing the rental listings, please contact your rental agent to discuss and book the best home for your needs. Your agent will confirm the price and availability with the home owner and with you. A lease will be prepared and sent by e-mail or mail for signatures.

The Contract
We will send you three copies of the lease, a legally binding contract summarizing the terms of the rental. The lease is due back at our office, signed with a deposit of 50% of the total rental amount within ten days. If we do not receive the leases and payment, the homeowner has the right to rent to another tenant. The final payment and a security deposit will be due 30 days before your arrival date. We will send you payment reminders.

We cannot accept credit card payments

Security Deposit
The typical security deposit is 10% of the total rental amount. This amount could be more at certain properties. The deposit is held by the homeowner and will be returned to you within 60 days from your departure date. Deductions from your deposit may include long distance phone charges, cost to repair damage and/or excessive cleaning costs.

If You Need to Cancel Your Lease
If it becomes necessary to cancel your rental, it is required that you notify your agent in writing by certified mail. We will do our best to re-rent the property. If we re-rent the time period we will return your money, less a 15% cancellation fee. You are responsible for payment in full as stated in the lease.

Did You Dawdle, Dilly-dally or Procrastinate?
We continue to book vacation homes right up to a week before you wish to arrive. We will require payment in full by a bank or cashiers check. We do not accept credit cards.
