Policy
Be advised, effective January 1, 2000, all vacation rentals in North Carolina are governed by the VACATION RENTAL ACT. Among the new law's
provisions are unique duties, for you as a rental guest, to care for any rented property, and it gives the agent the ability to terminate the rental property and expedite an eviction of you and your party if you and/or your party breach the rental agreement. We urge you to read our rental agreement and the following summary of some of our regulations carefully, and understand the implications of entering into a rental agreement with a homeowner through the property management company.

Confirming your Reservation - Advance Rental Payment and Balance Payment: Upon receipt of your payment, a lease will be forwarded to you confirming your reservation. The balance of your rent and taxes will be due 30 days prior to your arrival. All payments must be made in U.S. Funds. A Confirmation/Vacation Rental Agreement must be signed by tenant and returned to Agent within SEVEN (7) days from the date reflected in the upper right corner of this agreement. Total Tenant balance due of rent and applicable Security Deposit, taxes and fees are due 30 days before arrival date. Any payments made within 30 days of arrival date are to be in guaranteed funds. 

Reservations made within 30 days prior to arrival date must be PAID IN FULL within 3 days of booking reservation. Reservations taken within 10 days of arrival require signature and payment within 24 hours.

Charges for state sales tax and local lodging tax are calculated on the basis of the gross rent amount. These taxes are due with the balance of your rent, (tax rate subject to change). Tax is also
charged for all rental items.

CSA Vacation Rental Insurance offers Trip Cancellation Coverage and Interruption coverage. The charge for this protection is automatically added to your advance rent payment. If you do not wish to purchase coverage, you must delete the charge by initialing where indicated on your Vacation Rental Agreement. We highly recommend the purchase of this coverage for your financial protection in cancellation where we are unable to recoup your advance rent payments or in time of MANDATORY evacuation due to severe storms. 

In cases of cancellation, no refund of rents will be made until the cancelled period is re-rented and confirmed. If the cancelled period cannot be re-rented, no money will be returned, and full rent is still due in full. If the cancelled period is re-rented, any rent monies paid will be refunded to you, less a $100 fee. All cancellations must be in
writing.

Check-In/Check-Out/ Late Arrivals 

Check-In is at the office designated on your confirmation, beginning at 4:00 p.m. or as soon as the property has been cleaned, inspected, and deemed ready for occupancy. We reserve the right to delay check-in in order to perform maintenance or special cleaning. Please let us know how we may assist you with arranging multiple parties arriving to the vacation home. We will only release keys to the party that signed the Vacation Rental Agreement, unless notified in
writing by the leaseholder that another party has their
permission to obtain access to the property. If you arrive before 4:00 p.m., please do not go to the property, as this will delay the
preparations for your arrival; come by our office, we will take care of any paperwork and be happy to check the status of your accommodations. If your vacation rental is ready, we'll get you off to an early start for your beach holiday. Please be aware that your accommodations may not be ready by 4:00 p.m. A limited number of pre-arranged (2 weeks prior to arrival date) can be accommodated. Please request this at the time you return your signed Vacation Rental Agreement. Late arrivals are not uncommon. If you will be arriving after 5:00 p.m., let us know so that arrangements can be made for you. No keys will be made available for late arrival guests who have not paid in full. Departure time is before 10:00 a.m. on
the ending date of your reservation. You are responsible for such items as: placing all debris in outside containers, wash and put away all dishes, removal of excessive sand from floors and bath fixtures, decks and poolside (if applicable), trash-free and tidy, bed and bath linens (if applicable) stripped and placed in container provided. If you have any unopened, non-perishable items you would like to donate to the local food pantry, our office will have bins for you to drop off those items

During our IN-season period (Mid May - Mid September) we have a one week minimum reservation. Reservations for less than a full week are available on many of our properties during the OFF-season (Mid
September - Mid May). A set minimum OFF-season 3 night "Mini
Vacation" rate will be listed under the property description in the
brochure and on the web. These rates reflect OFF season bookings only. We will take minimum 3 nights bookings on many of our properties from mid September through mid May (excluding holiday weeks), up to 14 days in advance. (If you only want 2 nights - the fixed mini vacation rate prevails). All other IN season mini-vacation dates, can be arranged on the Monday PRIOR to
arrival. 

Please note: Linens are NOT included with any partial rental; however, you may rent linens from us. 

New construction is a part of the Outer Banks. If your vacation home is near new construction, please be understanding. We will attempt to contact the contractor concerning noise, start times, etc., if necessary, but no refunds or moves will be made.

All breakage and cottage damage during your occupancy must be reported to your check-in office. Tenants are responsible for and are expected to assure liability for any damage to the cottage and its contents, other than normal wear and tear, during their occupancy. Vacation homes with security deposits will be inspected carefully after your departure and your deposit will be adjusted if any damage if found.

Telephones/Long Distance Phone Calls: Homeowners graciously provide telephones for your convenience and safety. Please do not abuse this privilege by charging long distance calls or personal internet charges to the vacation home telephone. There will be a $25.00 collection fee added to any calls charged to an owner. Most of the home phones have a phone block and a long distance operator/service must be accessed by dialing "0" first and using your
credit card. Long distance access is not guaranteed. 

Security Deposits: All of our vacation homes require a refundable
damage deposit; the amount is noted in the individual property listing. The purpose of this deposit is to allow the homeowner to recover some of the expenses incurred from obvious or malicious neglect or from additional cleaning required due to the tenant leaving the vacation home in abnormally dirty condition. The vacation home will be inspected after your departure, and the
deposit remitted within 45 days from the date of your departure. Visitors must report damage to their vacation home immediately in writing or possibly be held responsible at check-out. Additional Security deposit amounts may be added to any vacation home at agent's discretion. 

Security Deposit Damage Waiver: You have the option of purchasing the Security Deposit Waiver (SDW) Plan for the amount of $40.00. Purchasing the SDW Plan covers theft or damage to the unit as a result of your inadvertent acts or omissions. For a full description of the plan, please refer to the Description of Coverage
detailing the terms, conditions and responsibilities of the Leaseholder and the property management company. If you do not receive a Description of coverage upon purchase of the plan, contact the property management company for a copy. Purchasing the SDW Plan in lieu of a Security Deposit does not negate your responsibilities as a Tenant. Payment for the SDW Plan will not be accepted after the guest occupies the unit. You must notify the Management Company of any damage or theft to the unit during your occupancy, or this plan is void. The units are carefully inspected after each rental.

All vacation homes are for family groups only. No sororities, fraternities, or other unmarried groups will be allowed. Should
a group misrepresent themselves, they will be required to vacate the premises immediately, without refund. Likewise, our vacation rental agreement requires the leaseholder to be at least 24 years old.

A number of our properties offer the use of fireplaces in the house. Be advised the property management company does not provide wood
for wood burning fireplaces at any time. Gas fireplaces are meant for use in the months of January through April and November through December. 

All cottages require a non-refundable administrative fee of $85.00 plus tax. This fee must be paid with the advanced rent payment prior to check-in. 

If your vacation home does not provide Bed or Bath linens, the property management company offers linen service to our guests for an additional fee. A full fresh set of Bed and Bath Linens will be delivered prior to your arrival. For multiple week vacations, you may order a fresh set at half price for each additional week if you wish. Please tell your Vacation Specialist at the time you make your reservation or just give us a call to place your order
anytime.

We are proud to announce the addition of our "Beach Club" vacation homes. Every "Beach Club" home will have linens provided to each tenant year round, including sheets and towels. Beds are not usually made unless noted in property description. In addition to the regular cleaning done before your arrival and after your departure, we are pleased to offer you the convenience of maid service during your stay. Our cleaning service cost varies with the
size of the home (plus tax). Call our office for details and arrangements. There will be no complimentary scheduled cleaning during multiple week stays.

All equipment in each vacation home should be in working order. Please report any inoperative equipment to our office promptly. We will make every reasonable effort to have the problem corrected. Under no circumstances will there be a reduction of rent for any mechanical failure of items including but not limited to, air conditioning, dishwasher, washer, dryer, TV, VCR, Spas, Swimming Pools, or appliances. There are no refunds for inclement weather, including hurricanes.

Water Quality: The unique qualities of the area (which draws so
many visitors to the Outer Banks) unfortunately, also share some drawbacks. Many of the Corolla area vacation homes get water from private wells. The quality of the water may vary and will probably not be like the water you are used to, even with filtration systems ensuring the water is potable. If you do not wish to drink the water we recommend you purchase bottled water for drinking and cooking. Although the water is safe for drinking, cooking, washing, and bathing, there is a possibility of discoloration to clothing, tubs, toilets and even chemically treated hair. The property management company is not responsible for water quality and no refunds will be made regarding this issue.

Fireworks that make sound or fly are illegal in North Carolina. All town ordinances prohibit fireworks on the beach and at rental homes. Since fireworks are an illegal activity, expedited eviction will
be filed if our office is notified by local law enforcement that a complaint has been made against the leaseholder or any party on the premises of any vacation rental home. 

Our office is open 7 days a week from 8:30 AM until 5:30 PM. On
Saturday and Sunday, June 17, 2006 - September 3, 2006, the office is open until 8:00 PM. We are closed the following dates in 2006: New Years Day - January 1, Easter - April 16, Labor
Day - September 4, Thanksgiving Day - November 23, Christmas - December 24-27.

Properties permitting dogs will have a fee ($75.00 plus tax unless otherwise noted) for the privilege. Limited to 2 adult house-trained dogs only. No dogs allowed in pool or hot tub. Units that do not
clearly state that pets are allowed DO NOT permit dogs. If one is brought to a property that does not allow dogs or the animal is not claimed in advance, in writing, violation of the NO PET rule will be grounds for immediate eviction without refund. Absolutely no other type of animal but dogs is permitted. Absolutely no puppies or breeds considered dangerous by insurance companies, including but not limited to, Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, and Doberman Pincers. If a
formal complaint is lodged against your dog you will be asked to board your dog for the remainder of your stay or be evicted without refund. 

Parking: Be advised the parking capacity at the majority of our vacation homes is never more than the number of bedrooms in the property (maximum of 5 cars). In other words a 3 bedroom would typically have parking for 3 cars; a 4 bedroom would have capacity for 4, etc. Very few vacation homes have the capacity for more than 5 cars even if the property is larger than 5 bedrooms. We advise you of this in advance so you can plan your travel accordingly. Parking regulations are strictly enforced in many areas of the Outer Banks, and if one of your cars is parked on the street in front of the
home you risk being ticketed or towed. The use of recreational motor vehicles, trailers, mobile homes, trucks with camper inserts in the bed, and other vehicles that provide sleeping accommodations, for any purposes other than transportation, are prohibited. Over-occupancy of rental cottages includes occupying vehicles of this type and subjects tenant(s) to eviction for violation of the occupancy limits. Some subdivisions prohibit even parking RVs in the driveway. Concerning the use of golf carts in Nags Head: operation of a golf cart on any public street, road or highway is prohibited by the State of North Carolina.

Items Left At Vacation Home: The property management company will not be responsible for personal items left in cottage. A $20 service fee will be charged in addition to the cost of mailing items back via UPS. Visa or MasterCard is required to do this. Any items found in homes that are not claimed within 30 days will be donated to charity. 

A maximum of two sets of keys are available for each vacation home. Keys are presented upon check-in and must be returned to the property management company upon checking out. There will be a $5.00 charge for lost keys. Prospective renters will not be given any keys to inspect property because of liability involved to both homeowner and prospective renter.
