What cable package does the home have? Will we be able to watch the game?

Rental properties are individually owned and each home will have a different cable vs streaming option. Coastline Vacation Rentals cannot guarantee Television service or TV Channel availability.

Can I not pay the cleaning fee if I clean the home myself, rather than using your cleaning services?

No. Guests are not allowed to clean after their own stay. Our housekeepers meet very strict guidelines and are required to clean the home after each guest vacates.

We’ve run out of toilet paper. Can you bring us some more?

Coastline Vacation Rentals provides a starter kit of supplies only. If you think you will need more than what is provided, please make sure to bring some with you.

I am allergic to pet dander and other smells, but I want to stay in a pet friendly home. Is there any way to ensure that I won’t be bothered by them for my stay?

All our homes are thoroughly cleaned after each stay. However, we are unable to guarantee that you will not have a reaction to a home that has been regularly occupied by pets.

What are the check-out procedures?

Check-out is at 10 AM EST. A $75 per hour fee will be assessed for failing to vacate the unit by the agreed upon check-out time.

Do I have to check-in by a certain time?

Check-in is at 4 PM EST and guests can arrive any time after. There are some cases when early check-in is available. If you are interested in an early check in please contact our office for more information (850) 227-3330.

Do you allow early check-ins?

Early check-in is dependent on whether or not the housekeeper has time to fully clean the home before your arrival. If guests are checking out the same day that your reservation begins, early check-in is not allowed as it will not allow the housekeeper enough time to fully prepare the home for you. If you are interested in an early check in please contact our office (850) 227-3330.

Can I get a late check-out?

Late check-out is available if we do not have another reservation that night. There is a fee (plus taxes) associated. The fee varies from house to house.

Do you provide cribs or high chairs?

Pack n play, baby gates, and high chairs are available for an additional fee.

Can you recommend local restaurants, attractions, and activities?

Absolutely! We’d be happy to provide you with recommendations for local dining, attractions, and activities. Contact us for suggestions.

What is the cancellation policy?

If you find you need to cancel your reservation there is a $200.00 cancellation fee for any cancellation notification received more than 60 days prior to occupancy (120 days prior for reservations of two weeks or more).
