Our Rental Policy

1. DEPOSIT AND PAYMENTS: 50% of your reservation is due within 24 hours of your reservation. The total is due 30 days (60 days for reservations of two weeks or more) prior to your check-in date. If you have a credit card on file it will be charged automatically unless other payment arrangements are made. Please review your reservation and make sure all the information including check-in and check-out dates are correct.

2. PAYMENT TERMS: Credit Cards, Electronic Funds, or Electronic Checks are accepted. There is a $100 charge for all returned checks plus the cost of collection.

3. AGE/OCCUPANCY RESTRICTIONS: We will not rent to vacationing students or singles under 25 years of age unless accompanied by an adult guardian or parent for the duration of the rental period. Any violation of this policy will result in loss of all monies paid and termination of your rental agreement. You will be required to vacate the property immediately. If your party is below the maximum occupancy and additional persons are added after your reservation is confirmed, you must inform us in writing of the additional guests. Your additional guests shall not exceed maximum occupancy. If maximum occupancy is exceeded, you will be asked to vacate the property and forfeit any rental payments.

For family reunions, weddings, and other large parties, social gatherings should be restricted to a clubhouse facility or the beach. Use of an individual vacation rental for such gatherings is strictly prohibited and is a violation of your rental agreement.

4. CANCELLATION: We know that emergencies can occur or plans can change. That is why we encourage our guests to Purchase Travel Insurance from one of the providers at the links below when booking! If you find you need to cancel your reservation, our policy is as follows: 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). There are no refunds if the reservation is cancelled less than 60 days (120 days for reservations of two weeks or more) prior to the arrival date and all monies paid on the reservation will be forfeited.
CSA Travel Insurance or Travel Guard Travel Insurance are just two of your options. Google search “vacation rental travel insurance” for other choices. Most require you to purchase travel insurance within a set time after booking so be sure to purchase promptly.

EXCEPTION: Once you notify us in writing of the need to cancel your reservation, every effort will be made to re-rent the property. If the unit is re-rented for the same time period and the same rent amount, a cancellation fee of $200 or 5% (whichever is greater) will be charged. If the unit does not re-rent, all monies paid to Coastline Vacation Rentals, LLC will be forfeited.

Travel Insurance fees and Reservation fees paid are not refundable on any cancelled reservation.

5. RATES: Rates, terms and applicable taxes are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to move the Guest up to 30 days in advance to a comparable property or refund the Guest the amount paid.

6. DAMAGE POLICY/SECURITY DEPOSITS: Prior to your arrival, a credit card number must be given to keep on file for a security deposit. This is to protect us from possible damages to our property. Security charges will only be applied to your credit card if necessary, and you will be notified. Guests are financially responsible for all damages and additional cleaning fees, if necessary. In the instance that you cannot provide a valid credit card number, you will be charged $300. The damage deposit must be received within thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled arrival. This payment will be refunded within thirty (30) days of departure, providing there is no damage or theft to the unit and all policies and conditions, including check-out instructions, were followed. Check-out instructions are posted in each home. If you wish to see them prior to booking your vacation, we are happy to email them to you. The renter agrees that he/she will not claim any chargebacks or credits from his/her credit card company for any fees charged to his/her credit card, including but not limited to deposit, rental, or additional damage, or security deposit fees.

7. CHECK IN AND CHECK OUT: The rental period begins at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the day of arrival and terminates at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the day of departure unless prior arrangements have been made. Early check-ins or late departures must be arranged in advance and may incur an extra charge. The properties are professionally cleaned and inspected before and after each rental to ensure that all guests have a clean comfortable stay. Please be thoughtful of renters who may be checking in on the same day that you check out. Occasionally, especially during the season, you may arrive to find us not quite finished preparing your home for your vacation. We appreciate in advance your understanding if that occurs. Also, please do adhere to our check-out time to help us stay on schedule for the next guest.

8. KEYS: Please return the original key to the lockbox to avoid being locked out! Requests to open the door as a result of a lost or misplaced key will result in a $100 fee. Failure to return all keys will result in a $30 charge PER KEY.

9. SIGHT UNSEEN: We make every effort to provide accurate descriptions and photographs of our properties. All our properties are furnished by the owners, reflecting their personal tastes and preferences. No refunds or adjustments will be made if the decor or furnishings are unacceptable to your taste. Rates, descriptions, bed sizes, inventories, and furnishings are subject to change without notice. Although we will work diligently to handle a concern, neither Coastline Vacation Rentals, LLC nor the owner will be obligated to provide replacements or give refunds for failure or absence of any item.

10. DAMAGE AND CLEANING ISSUES: Any damage or cleaning issues noticed upon arrival should be reported immediately so problems can be documented and corrected. All general maintenance issues should also be reported so the unit can be kept in good repair. You must contact us to address any cleaning issues within 3 hours of your arrival.

11. NO SMOKING: Smoking is not allowed in any of our properties. Smoking is not allowed outside by any open window/door. Smoking is permitted on balconies as long as the doors and windows are closed and butts and ashes are disposed of properly.

Guest pets must be leashed at all times when outside and please be aware of and adhere to the leash laws and/or restrictions for pets on the beach. The violation of any terms of this pet policy subjects the guest to additional fines or termination of the rental period. Guest pet policies and unit availability are subject to change per county and association rules and regulations at any time. Our pet policy is for dogs only. We do not permit cats or other pets. Bringing a dog into a unit that is not pet-friendly will result in immediate termination of your agreement and loss of all monies paid.

14. ELEVATORS: If your rental has an elevator, an adult must be present at all times when using the elevator. The availability of the elevator is not guaranteed, due to the possibility of problems occurring during your stay.
