Weddings

We do allow weddings while renting some of our properties, however some conditions apply:

We only rent for the weekly fee that is the normal season rate, no special pricing will apply.

There is a surcharge that is added to the house to offset the wear and tear on the house as well as extra utilities and liability.

The amount of those charges will vary depending on the amount of guest that will attend the wedding.

Please call 1-800-232-2446 if you are planning a wedding and we will discuss in detail your particular situation.

Hot Deals are sometimes lower than Low season rates and are placed on the site about three weeks prior to the time

DAMAGES: Each unit is inspected prior to and immediately after each guest stay. Damages to the premises during your stay will be repaired at a cost to the registered guest. Excessive cleaning will be considered damages, as well as furniture that has been moved from its original spot. We reserve the right to apply the damage deposit to offset expenses and administrative fees.

Smoking is strictly prohibited inside the unit. You will be charged a  damage deposit of $500 so that we can have the home professionally filtered if we find evidence of smoking in any of our homes.
