You agree that any report you make will not obligate us to take any action (beyond that required by law, if any).

Cancellation Policies

Cleaning fees are only refunded if the reservation is timely canceled before check-in. Reservations are considered canceled once official (verbal, electronic, or written) confirmation has been made to Company. Cancellations made at least 5 full days prior to check-in time (usually 3:00 pm PST) will be granted a full refund of Total Fees, minus a $30.00 administration and processing fee. For cancellations made less than 5 days prior to check-in time, 50% of the Total Fees (less the cleaning fee) for the remaining nights will be refunded. After the date of arrival, if the guest decides to leave early and cancels the remaining term of the reservation, 50% of the Total Fees, minus the cleaning fee and a $30.00 administrative and processing fee, for the remaining nights fees are refunded, subject to Company collecting in full all applicable Additional Fees.

Special Review of Cancellation Policies

Company may decide, in its sole discretion, that it is necessary to cancel a pending or confirmed booking and waive cancellation fees or make a full or partial refund, as applicable. This may be for “Special Circumstances” (described below) beyond the control of the guest, which prohibit travel, make the Accommodation uninhabitable, or require evacuation.

Examples of Special Circumstances that may prohibit the guest from traveling to or from the destination, that may require evacuation include, or make an Accommodation uninhabitable:

  • Natural disasters, terrorist activity, and civil/political unrest that prevent the guest from traveling to or from the Accommodation location, or that make it unsafe to host guests.
  • Epidemic disease or illness that suddenly affects a region or an entire group of people. This does not include existing diseases that are associated with an area—for example, Covid-19.
  • Travel restrictions imposed by a government, law enforcement agency, or military that restrict travel to or from the Accommodation.
  • Safety and security threat advisories issued for the Accommodation location.
  • “Essential Utility” outages that affect the Accommodation location. Note: “Essential Utility” applies only to circumstances that affect habitability (e.g. power, water) and does not include any amenity (e.g. Wi-Fi, Hot Tub).

other Policies

PARTY, EVENTS, & QUIET HOUR POLICY

Maintaining positive and “good neighbor” relationships within the communities where our Accommodations are located is of great importance.

This policy prohibits:

· Gatherings exceeding the capacity limitation requirements for the Accommodation, including parking restrictions and limitations.

· All disruptive parties and events

· Between the hours of 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. any excessive noise, including operating stereos, radios, televisions, and musical instruments in a manner that disturbs the neighbors, or creating or allowing any other noise or activity that disturbs the neighbors.

In addition to the requirement that you pay for any damages, a violation of this policy may result in your immediate eviction from the Accommodation and forfeiture of all reservation fees paid. The determination and enforcement of this Party and Events Policy is at the sole and absolute discretion of Company.
