Q: Do I need to make a deposit?

Booking of reservations requires a pre-payment of 50% of the total rental rate, and non-refundable pet fee (if applicable) to reserve the unit.

All monies collected are fully refundable less a $30.00 cancellation processing fee and a non-refundable $50.00 reservation fee (if applicable) upon receipt of a written notice of cancellation more than 30 days of scheduled check-in.
