How To Reserve Your Stay With A Reservation Agent
SEARCHING FOR A PROPERTY - If you prefer to make your reservation by telephone, please call us during regular business hours at 239.541.3735 to confirm the availability of your selection and to secure a reservation. You may also email your reservation requests to us at mail to: [email protected]. - Once you have narrowed down your selection to the ideal home or condo for your vacation, an agent will happily offer a complimentary 24 hr hold if you need additional time to check with others you are traveling with. You will receive an automatic reminder within 24 hours to confirm your booking. This will hold your dates so that no one else can reserve them while you decide. Each guest may hold no more than 1 property for a maximum of 24 hours. After your hold has expired your dates will be released and bookable on a first come, first serve basis.
RESERVING YOUR Property - At time of reserving, a credit card will be required to hold the reservation. We will not charge the credit card unless you elect to pay by credit card. Our deposit is $1000 per property. If your payment is not received in our office within 24 hours (US Funds: credit card, overnight mail, or in person), your reservation may be canceled without further notice. For our Seasonal guests, the balance is due 60 days before your arrival. If you choose to release your reservation for any reason, prior to paying your contract payment, you would forfeit 50% of your deposit. For stays booked within 60 days of arrival: you are required to pay the total balance of your reservation at time of booking. We accept Visa, MasterCard, or Discover.
