Reservation Policy

• All guests must be 25 years of age or older to check in.
• A valid photo ID and signed rental agreement are required prior to check-in. These can be submitted via email.
• Rates include departure maid service and optional setup of linens. Linens are provided based on the number of paid occupants (monthly stays excluded).
• Should a house party (chaperoned or unchaperoned) occur, occupancy will be immediately terminated. Should a parent check into a rental and later leave students or minors, the students or minors will be evicted if Beach Vacations finds it necessary to do so. No refund, including unused rental amounts, will be given.

Check-In & Check-Out

Check in time is after 4:00 PM EST and check out time is before 10:00 AM EST. We cannot guarantee early check in or late check out requests. There will be a full day charge for unauthorized late check outs.

No need to check in at the office! We will send all arrival details via email or text so you can head straight to your unit.

Upon arrival: immediately notify the rental office of any missing or inoperative furnishings or equipment, or any weak or unsafe conditions which may result in injury. Occupancy by you and your party shall be conclusive evidence that the unit is in satisfactory condition. During your stay, please promptly report any problems to our office so that our maintenance department might attend to them efficiently for your safety and comfort, and for that of future guests.

Cancellation Policy

• A sixty (60) day written email notice sent to customersupport@mbvacationhomerentals.com is required for all cancellations. We do not accept verbal cancellations. The request must be in writing.
• ALL cancellations will be subject to a $150 Cancellation Fee, the Security Deposit Waiver, and the Booking Fee.
• If canceled less than 60 days before arrival, all funds will be held, and the property will be available again for rentals. If ALP is able to re-rent the unit for the same amount of money, all monies paid will be returned EXCEPT (LESS) the $150 Cancellation Fee, the Security Deposit Waiver, and the Booking Fee.
• ALP reserves the right to discount the nightly rate to re-rent the property. If the property is re-rented for a lesser rate, all monies will be returned EXCEPT (LESS) the $150 Cancellation Fee, the Security Deposit Waiver, the Booking Fee, and the difference in rental price.
• ALP strongly suggests purchasing travel insurance.
• Guests who do not arrive on their scheduled arrival date and fail to notify the resort of a change to their stay dates therefore acknowledge forfeiture of advance deposit funds.
• Substitution: in the event that an owner of a vacation rental unit elects to remove his or her property from our rental management responsibility, we will provide comparable accommodations or grant a full refund. We reserve the right to substitute suitable accommodations if circumstances require.

Payment & Deposits

Methods of payment: we accept all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express), bank checks and personal checks. If you pay your final balance with a credit card we will add 3% to the final balance.

Deposit and payment due date:

• Booking over 60 days out, a 25% deposit is required and the remainder is due 60 days before arrival.
• If booking within 60 days of arrival, full payment is due at the time of booking.

In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), we gladly welcome guests with service animals. Service animals are not considered pets, and no pet fees or deposits will be charged. Guests are responsible for any damages caused by their service animal during their stay. Please inform us at the time of booking if you will be bringing a service animal.

COVID-19 disclosure and assumption of the risk

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. COVID-19 spreads easily and is believed to spread in similar ways to influenza which may include: spreading through the air by coughing and sneezing; close personal contact, such as touching or shaking hands; and touching an object or surface with the virus on it, then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes. Spread is more likely when people are in close contact with one another (within 6 feet). As a result, federal, state and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people.

The owners and managers of The Litchfield Company have put into place certain preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, The Litchfield Company cannot guarantee that you, and the other members of your party (including minor children), will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, occupancy at any of The Litchfield Company properties and the enjoyment of common areas and amenities could increase your risk and those in your party of contracting COVID-19.
