Reservations - A 50% initial rental deposit is due at the time the reservation is made. The remaining rental amount balance will be due 30 days prior to the first date of your scheduled occupancy.

In cases where the reservation is made less than 30 days from the first day of occupancy, the entire rental amount is due at the time the reservation is made. Reservations are tentative until the rental fee has been paid in full for high season rentals.
