| HOW TO MAKE
A RESERVATION It's easy to make a reservation! Call
us at 732 257-7581. We will take your name and
address for our mailing list, your telephone number, and then we will ask you the
dates you've
selected to vacation.
PAYMENTS To
confirm your reservation, you'll need to send an advance rent payment
equal to one half of the reservation period's rental amount within 7
days. Upon receipt of your payment, a lease will be forwarded to you
confirming your reservation. The balance of your rent and any applicable
security deposit will be due 45 days prior to your arrival. You may pay
this balance by personal check, money order, or cashiers check. All
payments must be made in U.S. Funds.
For reservations made within 30 days of arrival we must
receive payment in full within 3 business days of booking. For
reservations made within 10 days of arrival, payment is expected by the
end of the next business day. Fed-Ex your cashiers check or money order. There is a $25
charge for all returned checks.
WEEKEND RENTALS/MINI VACATIONS
During our in-season period we have a 3 day minimum
reservation policy. Reservations for less than a full week are available on
our properties during the off-season. The mini price for summer
dates is $565. The mini price of $375
refers to off-season pricing.
We take advance weekend (or any 3 nights consecutive)
reservations from mid September through mid May (excluding holiday
weeks), up to 30 days in advance for the long weekend getaway rates
listed. This rate reflects off season bookings only. All others in prime season mini vacations may be
arranged on an individual basis. A 3or 4 night vacation makes a
perfect getaway to enjoy the Outer Banks through all of our beautiful
seasons! Please call for availabilities,
we’re happy to help with all of your vacation plans!
OFF-SEASON MONTHLY RENTALS Shore
Delight is available during the off season for special monthly rates.
E-mail me for rates and availabilities on a monthly basis as rates may
vary. Monthly rentals also require a minimum $400 security deposit.
SECURITY DEPOSITS
We require a security deposit
which is to be paid with your final payment. The purpose of the
security deposit is to protect the property and contents, as well as
you. Please report to our office any damages upon your check in. Once
you have checked out, our inspectors will ensure that the property has
been left in proper order, clean and damage free. Security deposits will
be refunded to you within 30 days following your departure with any
necessary deductions noted.
TRANSFER POLICY Should you
need to change the week of your reservation after you have made your
initial payment, there is a $75.00 transfer fee that must accompany
your request. Please remember, this transfer must be in the same year. All requests should be made in writing to Joyce Ferrari. All
transfers must be made at least 30 days prior to occupancy in order to
allow us sufficient time to re-rent the original rental period.
CANCELLATION
Once your reservations have been confirmed by payment and you are unable
to fulfill your obligation to occupy a rental unit, we must be notified
in writing. All attempts will be made to re-rent the property but if we
are unable to re-rent the unit, no money will be returned. If the
property is re-rented, then rent consideration (rent, taxes, security
deposit) previously tendered by Tenant will be refunded, less a service
charge equal to 12% of the total contract amount or $75.00 whichever is
greater.

requirements as to cottage quality or personal needs, we recommend that
you personally inspect the rental unit before making your reservation.
