SHORT TERM RENTAL AGREEMENT 

This Agreement is entered into between Host and Guest for the property outlined in the confirmed booking/reservation. 

1. TERM: The term of occupancy shall begin on the arrival date and end on the departure date strictly for the number of nights outlined in the confirmed booking/reservation. The property will be ready for occupancy no earlier than 4:00 pm on the arrival date and must be vacated no later than 11:00 am on the departure date. Early check-in and late check-outs may be arranged with a $20 fee.

2. RENT: The reservation total shall be paid in full prior to the check-in time on the arrival date. Bookings/reservations not paid in full by the check-in time on the arrival date shall be deemed null and void and all deposits will be forfeited by the Guest.

3. CANCELLATIONS: Reservations can be cancelled until 7 days before the first night's stay. Reservations cancelled within 7 days of the stay (including those booked within that period), are non-refundable unless you have purchased a refundable rate. Refundable rates are refundable up to 24 hours before the stay. No refunds are possible within 24 hours of any stay. If you booked directly through us (on our website, phone, or email), please contact us for cancellations. If you booked through a third-party platform (Airbnb, Vrbo, Expedia, etc.). please initiate cancellations through those platforms. 

4. DATE CHANGES: For direct bookings (on our website, phone, or email), contact us for any changes. We will approve the alteration whenever possible. If you request to remove a night’s stay within 7 days, that change will be treated as a cancellation and cannot be refunded. If you need to change the dates of your reservation for stays booked with a third-party platform (Airbnb, Vrbo, Expedia, etc.), you will need to submit a change request via the appropriate platform. 

5. LIMITED OCCUPANCY: Maximum occupancy is limited to the number of individuals listed on the pre-arrival form.
