Payments can be made in the form of personal check, money order, cashier’s check, VISA, Master Card or Discover (no additional fee for credit card use). No personal checks will be accepted less than 30 days prior to check-in. There will be a $35 charge for returned checks. If a reservation is made with 30 days of arrival, payment in full is due the date the reservation is made. Agent is authorized to place all rent payments and security deposits in Agent’s Trust Account located at TowneBank of Currituck in Corolla, NC with any interest accrued payable to Agent, then disbursed to the Owner at the end of each month less Agent’s Commission.
2. Partial Week Rentals and Holiday Rentals – There is a 3 night minimum for participating homes. The nightly rate is determined by dividing the weekly rate by 4 and adding applicable taxes and optional fees. Partial rentals are only allowed during the mid and off seasons and can only be made 14 days prior to arrival. Some homes have special rates for Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s (see individual property descriptions for rates).
3. Accidental Damage Protector and Security Deposits – Accidental Damage Protector is included in the advertised rental amount and covers you and your family up to $1500 for any accidental damage during your stay. Damage Protector is not an insurance policy, and nothing in this agreement shall be construed to constitute a contract of insurance. Agent is not an insurer or underwriter. Damage Protector does NOT cover intentional damage, theft, Acts of God, gross negligence, pet damage, utilities, rent, pay per view cable charges or loss of use. Any accidental damage must be reported to our office in WRITING by the end of Tenant’s stay in order for Damage Protector to apply. A few homes may require an additional security deposit. This deposit may be used for damages allowable by law. Security deposits will be refunded with 45 days of your departure (less any allowable deductions). The Tenant agrees to reimburse the homeowner for any damages to the property caused by Tenant that is in excess of, or not covered by Damage Protector or the security deposit. Such damages shall include reasonable attorney fees and court costs.

4. Travel Insurance and Mandatory Evacuation – Due to unforeseen circumstances such as, illness, injuries, mandatory evacuation and even job loss, Trip Cancellation Insurance is offered to protect your vacation investment ( as is described in the policy). The insurance premium is due with your advance rent payment and coverage begins with receipt of your payment. Once the insurance premium is paid, it is non-refundable. If you elect NOT to purchase the travel insurance, you must decline by initialing the appropriate space on the Vacation Rental Agreement. Failure to initial to decline travel insurance, indicates intent to purchase. If state or local authorities issue a mandatory evacuation in the area that includes the property subject to this Vacation Rental Agreement, the Tenant shall comply with the evacuation order. Upon compliance, Tenant shall NOT be entitled to a refund for the prorated rents for each night that the Tenant is unavailable to occupy the home from Owner or Agent IF: (a) prior to the Tenant taking possession of the property, the Tenant refused travel insurance offered by the Owner or Agent that would have compensated Tenant for losses or damage resulting from the loss of use of the property due to the mandatory evacuation order; OR (b) the Tenant purchased insurance offered by the Owner or Agent, in accordance with N.C.G.S. 42A-36.
5. Cancellations and Transfers – Once a reservation is confirmed, you cannot transfer dates or change properties. Any transfer request will be treated as a cancellation. In case of a cancellation or transfer of a confirmed reservation, no refunds shall be made until the property has been re-rented for the same time period and confirmed. If the rental period is re-rented at the same rate as the original rent agreement all monies paid will be refunded less a 5% cancellation fee ($100 minimum) of the advertised rent amount and the travel insurance premium if paid. If the re-rented amount is a lower rate or rented for a lesser time period, the original Tenant will only be refunded the lower or lesser rental amount as owners are to receive the full amount of the original rental agreement. Every effort is made to re-rent the home at the full amount. If Owner or Agent are unable to re-rent the home, Tenant’s entire rent amount is forfeited.
