Frequently Asked Questions

How much of a deposit is needed to make a reservation?

$300 or 10% whichever is greater. This goes towards your balance.

What is your cancellation policy?

There is a $300 cancellation fee. If you elect to take the travel insurance you may place a claim for the $300.00 through the insurance policy if it is in place if it is a covered cancellation reason.

Once your reservation is paid in full (30 days or less prior to arrival) you will lose your full balance if there is no travel insurance in place. If travel insurance is in place you can place the claim to get the total paid less the price of the insurance you paid back.

If the balance is paid 30 days or more prior to arrival the balance is refunded with a forfeiture of the $300 cancellation fee.

No travel insurance amount is refundable once purchased.

I have made my reservation now what?

You will receive a confirmation by email requesting your signature on a security deposit form in lieu of a cash security deposit to be completed within 48 hours. If you have booked 30 days or less prior to arrival you will receive the same document to sign. This form must be completed prior to check-in as you check in at the property. If we have your payment, signed contract, and copy of your driver’s license you will receive your check-in instructions 48 hours prior to arrival.

Why do we need a copy of your DL?

We have had fraudulent charges. Guests come to a property and stay then get home and say it was not them. This is for our protection and yours. You will have the opportunity to download our guest app as well to make communication better once you arrive.

Can I change my reservation?

Yes, you can. There will be a $50 change fee applied and the rates may increase based on the dates that you are changing to.

If I have a problem with the property what should I do?

Please call our office at 727-290-9520, email us, or submit a request via email or the app. If it is an emergency please follow the phone prompts for emergencies. An emergency consists of lockouts, no AC, plumbing stoppages, no hot water, leaks, electrical hazards, etc.

Can I bring my pet?

You can only bring your pet if it is an approved pet-friendly property. Pet fees do apply.

Sorry, none of our condos will allow a trailer on site. There are storage lots and marinas where you can store marine craft. We do have a couple of houses that may fit a smaller trailer depending on the type.
