FAQ's

Q- After I book a reservation, when do you communicate with me how to access my vacation rental?

A- 48-72 hours prior to arrival, an upcoming visit email will be sent showing a property map, exact address of your vacation rental, a list of our favorite

things to do and see in the area and more!  The day of arrival and prior to 4PM, once your vacation rental is ready for your arrival a SMS (mobile text)

will be sent to the number on file with your private door entry code.

Q- Are there any additional fees above and beyond the rental rate?

A- The quote includes all applicable charges.  A security/damage hold via credit card will be secured 2 days prior to arrival and if no damages or missing

items are found, the hold will be released within 7 days of your departure pending inspection of the property.

Q- I received an email about another security hold on my credit card - why?

A- Credit card processors allow for a security "hold" for a 7 day window and then automatically release such hold, our system is programmed to reauthorize

the security hold each 7 days until the reservation departs.

Q- Can I pay by Check?

A- Yes, we will waive the merchant fee, if the final remaining balance is paid via check 45 days in advance or arrival.  We do not issue credits to credit cards

for the initial deposit.

A- Within minutes of your vacation rental property in the Indian Shores area. If staying at 19725 or 19727 Gulf Blvd., the closest 1-4 minute walk is 198th
