Terms and Conditions of Occupancy Agreement, (Hereafter called “Agreement”) between Blue Skies Property Management, LLC, (Hereafter called “BSPM”) and Signer, (Hereafter called “Guest.” “Guest” includes signer, all guests of the signer, and any other rental property occupants or visitors.)

This contract is an agreement between the Guest and Blue Skies Property Management (BSPM) who is acting as the owner’s representative for the referenced rental property. Cancellations within the first 24 hours will be allowed subject to a $25 administrative fee. All other policies set forth in this agreement become effective at the time of booking and are agreed upon between the renter and BSPM once the confirmation email is sent. After 24 hours, all terms and conditions apply. Additionally, entrance into property at check-in constitutes full acceptance of all terms of this agreement between the Owner or Owners Representative and the Guest.

OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITY: The owner agrees to provide unit in a clean, decent, and sanitary condition on the arrival of the renter. Renter accepts the property as is, and as shown on our website (changes in decor, bedding, and furnishings may change without notice). Upon arrival, please inspect the property and notify the owner of any problems. Please report any housekeeping issues within 3 hours of arrival so BSPM can promptly address issues. Renter agrees to give the owner and BSPM a reasonable amount of time to resolve any problems that may be encountered on arrival or during the stay at the property. On some rare occasions, the property may not be cleaned before your check-in, by inadvertent fault of cleaners. If property is not cleaned with fresh towels and linens upon check-in to our property or if you find any other problem(s), Renter agrees to call BSPM immediately, so that we may fix problem(s), as deemed necessary by BSPM and/or Owner and at BSPM/Owner’s sole discretion. Housekeeping refunds/adjustments will not be given for unit cleaning issues unless they are not corrected after BSPM has been notified and given a reasonable opportunity to remedy.

CHECK-IN: Check-in times will be sent to you before your stay. During peak, busy periods, check-in may be delayed due to our commitment to providing a clean and inspected unit. If you plan to arrive late, please email us at [email protected] so that we can best prioritize the cleaning schedule and be able to spend extra time preparing your rental. Please note, that if you enter the rental before check-in time during peak seasons without approval, a $200 early check-in fee will be charged to the card on file.

CHECK-OUT: Check-out time will be sent to you before your stay. Please give us a call at 336-289-9878 if you will be departing early so we can schedule housekeeping accordingly. Any late departures will be subject to a charge of an additional day, which the Guest acknowledges and authorizes to be automatically charged to the credit card on file. Please be sure to refer to and follow the Departure Instructions that will be provided prior to arrival. Missing items (such as keys, arm bands, parking passes, fobs, lanyards, etc.) will be charged to the Guest. Lost keys will additionally result in locksmith re-keying services that will be charged to the Guest. Owner/BSPM is not responsible for items left in the unit, but BSPM will be happy to return lost items when found if requested (items will be shipped for a $20.00 handling fee plus actual shipping costs). Items found will only be kept for 30 days.

AFTER HOURS EMERGENCIES, SERVICE CALLS, AND LOCKOUTS: Contact Blue Skies Property Management at 336-289-9878 in the event of an after-hours emergency. Service calls made necessary by actions of Guests/Visitors shall be solely at the Guest’s expense and will charged to the credit card on file or deducted from the security deposit including, but not limited to: lockouts, clogging toilets with moist wipes or other non-flushable items, not leaving the key in the lock box, or otherwise not accommodating unit access during scheduled time. Any such service calls will result in a minimum $50 service call fee, higher for after-hours, weekends, or extended repairs.

PETS AND SMOKING: PLEASE NOTE- Pets and smoking are not allowed in any of our rental properties (including balconies and patios), and the renter agrees not to bring pets into a unit or smoke in a property, balconies, service halls or elevators, or any other indoor or prohibited outdoor area unless otherwise discussed with BSPM.. Any evidence indicating violation of these terms as deemed by owner/management will result in a minimum $500 fine charged to your credit card/deducted from the security deposit plus any additional damage costs or cleaning fees that may be incurred. Any posted non-smoking signs on resort grounds should also be strictly obeyed, and guests can only smoke in designated smoking areas (if available.) Smoking in a prohibited area will result in a fine imposed by the owner. Smoke detectors inside the buildings, particularly but not limited to elevators, are sensitive to any airborne particulates (cigarette/cigar smoke or vapors, aerosol spray, water vapor, etc.) and are easily triggered due to the small confinements and close proximity of detectors, which creates a false alarm. Triggering any indoor alarms, regardless of substance, will result in a fine imposed by the resort/owner. Unless otherwise noted, pets (including pets belonging to non-paying guests temporarily visiting a property) are at no time permitted within the rental property, nor permitted anywhere on the property unless the resort/complex is “Pet Friendly” and you have registered the pet with our office, the Pet Addendum is executed and the per pet, non-refundable pet fee has been paid. Any indication of any pet being on the property without prior approval and payment of the pet fee will result in a $500 per pet fee on your credit card/deducted from your security deposit plus any additional damages or cleaning fees that may have been incurred. If we are called out by a complaint of your pet disturbing the neighbors you will be charged a service call fee of $50 and may be asked to vacate the property with no refunds, in addition to the above penalties. Smoking or any pet found in a Non-Pet-Friendly unit is a clear violation of this Agreement and will result in immediate eviction from the property with no refund, whatsoever, of payments made. Smoking or unapproved pets in any Blue Skies Property Management unit will result in a minimum $500 fee.

MINIMUM RENTAL AGE: The renter must be at least 25 years old with a valid driver’s license and all members of the rental party must be either 25 years of age or older or traveling as part of a family with at least one member of the party 25 years of age or older. However, certain properties may have alternate age restrictions. Please make sure to refer to the specific rental listing page for details. Blue Skies Property Management is authorized to verify age at check-in or at any time during a stay. The qualifying person renting the property is responsible for the conduct of all guests and other occupants, and that person must occupy the property for the full term of the reservation.

Underage renters will not be given access to a unit or will be required to leave without a refund if this requirement is not met.

CONFIRMATIONS: The emailed rental confirmation you receive serves as confirmation of your reservation. Please review the information carefully to verify the property rented, the dates of the rental, the applicable charges, and any special notes. Contact us within 24 hours of the time of booking to report any errors. After 24 hours, the confirmation is considered accurate and all terms and conditions apply. Future promotions or discounts will not be applied to existing reservations.

LINENS: Blue Skies Property Management provides all unit linens (unless otherwise stated at a specific rental). Blue Skies Property Management provides quality linens for you to enjoy during your stay, and we request that you use care with the provided linens to avoid non-accidental damage, including makeup stains. Guests will be charged for any missing linens or linens damaged due to tanning solutions or makeup products that cannot be removed (these damages are NOT covered by Security Deposit Protection). Linens are to remain in Rental Property (except beach towels). Towels and sheets are inspected for damage and inventoried before and after each guest’s stay. Your unit will have a minimum of 2 towel sets per full bath, at least one set of sheets, blankets, mattress pad per sleeping surface, bathmats for every bath with a tub or shower, kitchen towels, dishcloths, and oven pads. Guest is responsible for reporting any linen shortages or damaged items within 24 hours of arrival. Renters should report any damaged linens prior to departure in order for the security damage protection to be submitted to cover the damaged items. Renter authorizes Blue Skies Property Management to charge the credit card on file for any unreported missing or damaged linens reported by housekeeping staff after departure. Missing and unreported damaged linens will be charged at new replacement values, including any monogramming and/or shipping fees plus a handling fee.

CLEANING: Blue Skies Property Management does everything within its power to have your unit ready by check-in time, but we ask for your patience during busy rental periods. We also have very high cleaning standards that we expect our cleaning contractors to adhere to. If you feel your unit has not received the necessary attention to detail prior to your arrival, please notify us as soon as possible so we can promptly address your housekeeping issues. We ask that you give us the opportunity to fix any unit cleaning or maintenance issues so you can have a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. The departure cleaning fee includes the remaking of the beds with fresh clean linens, laundering bath towels, dusting, vacuuming and mopping all floors, and cleaning and sanitizing bathrooms after your departure. Additional housekeeping services during your stay are available for a fee. If additional cleaning is needed after you check out, if any items are damaged or missing (including linens), or if furniture is re-positioned, you will be charged for the additional cleaning service and/or missing items. We ask that sheets are not stripped from the beds and that any used beds be left unmade. Please do not leave wet items in the washing machine. Guests are responsible for removing all open food from the refrigerator, loading dirty dishes into the dishwasher (if available) and running it, and placing garbage in the outside receptacles, garbage chutes, or local, public dumpsters. If these items are not completed, the guest authorizes Blue Skies Property Management to charge a minimum fee of $25 to the guest’s credit card.

MAINTENANCE: Please report any damage or malfunction of equipment to the owner as soon as possible. Failure to do so may incur some liability to the guest. The owner or owner’s representative may enter the property at reasonable hours for the purpose of effecting necessary repairs and inspections and repair personnel may enter the premises for the purpose of the repair. Working conditions of pools, pool heaters, hot tubs, air conditioning, televisions, DVD players, appliances, elevators, etc. are NOT guaranteed. No refunds or rate adjustments will be made for mechanical failures or non-working amenities.

Guest acknowledges that unforeseen repairs and necessary maintenance to the grounds and buildings are managed by individual resorts, and BSPM has no control over schedules, the duration, or the extent of work being done on the property or adjacent/adjoining properties, including new construction. There is generally little to no impact, and work is rarely done after hours or weekends, however, when necessary, there may be limited or restricted access to certain areas of the grounds or property. In cases where BSPM is notified in advance, we will do our best to inform guests of any projects that could be in progress during your travels. No cancellations or monetary refunds will be made for noise or restricted access to elements at the property or adjacent properties.

For stays over a week, there is the possibility of a monthly maintenance visit to complete routine services and address any outstanding issues. Access will be required.

DAMAGE WAIVER FEE: Guests shall otherwise be responsible for maintaining and returning said furnishings and property to BSPM at the end of the Agreement in the same condition it was in upon occupancy, excluding only normal wear and tear. Guests shall immediately notify BSPM upon occupancy if any of the furnishings or property is missing or damaged or the guest will be held responsible for damage.

By accepting this rental, you authorize Blue Skies Property Management to charge the credit card on file for any costs related to damage.

Meeting the guidelines listed in the departure instructions will help ensure no charges to your credit card on file or deducted from the security deposit. Additionally, the Renter agrees to keep the property in good, clean condition, not to rearrange furniture, and promptly report any missing/damaged items. The Renter also agrees to not access or open the locked closets or areas in or on the property. Smoking or unapproved pets in any Blue Skies Property Management unit will result in a minimum $500 fee. The Owner or other authorized personnel by BSPM reserves the right to enter the vacation property at any time to investigate disturbances, occupancy, and/or damage.

Late check-outs are unauthorized and will result in an additional charge. Keys not returned at check-out will result in a $100-200 charge, depending on the property. Exceeding occupancy stated on your reservation confirmation will result in a minimum charge of $300 per person or eviction.

SECURITY DEPOSIT: In some cases (including when the owner’s personal car is part of the rental), an additional Security Deposit may be required. If applicable, the security deposit will be returned within 7 days of the Guest’s check out provided the property is left undamaged, without additional cleaning, no rearranged furnishings, and trash removed. Damages are not limited to the amount of the security deposit and shall include any and all costs incurred to recover such damages including applicable attorney fees.

PAYMENTS / PAYMENT SCHEDULES: A down payment is due by credit card at the time of booking. The down payment is applied towards the cost of rental and IS NOT a refundable security deposit. Depending upon the property rented and the duration of stay, the full balance is due 30 days prior to arrival by credit card unless otherwise noted. All payments must be made in USD.

If payment is not received by the final payment due date, the Guest (Renter) authorizes Blue Skies Property Management to process any amounts due to the credit card on file (additional fees may apply). Unsuccessful payment attempts may be subject to cancellation and forfeiture of the down payment as well as cancellation penalties specified below (see CANCELLATION TERMS below). Renter authorizes Blue Skies Property Management to charge to the credit card we have on file for any applicable cancellation fees.

This agreement shall be binding when the rental contract between BSPM and the Guest has been validated (24 hours after the booking) or signed by the Guest. Credit card(s) used will stay on file until after your departure and the property is reviewed and found in the same condition as upon your arrival. The Renter authorizes BSPM to charge the credit card(s) on file for any unit damages caused by the Renter that are not covered by the Security Deposit Protection (see DAMAGES AND SECURITY DEPOSIT PROTECTION PLAN).

GUEST CANCELLATIONS: Reservations booked on third-party sites (such as Airbnb/VRBO) will follow the cancellation policies listed on the booking site. Please check your reservation details on your confirmation from the booking site used to confirm the applicable policy.

For direct bookings that are directly through BSPM: 24 hours from the time terms and conditions have been emailed to the email address on the customer reservation, the Guest is able to cancel with a full refund of the deposit less the $25 cancellation fee. After 24 hours, the Guest is responsible for reviewing the confirmation, terms & and conditions, and notifying BSPM of any errors within 24 hours of email receipt. If the Guest does not receive emailed terms and conditions, the Guest must notify BSPM within 24 hours of the time the reservation is made or all cancellation policies and other terms will apply. We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance for peace of mind

Reservations for stays less than 28 nights in duration: In the event of a cancellation for any reason after the first 24 hours of booking and up to 30 days prior to the arrival date, the Guest can cancel and be refunded all rental payments made thus far less the administrative fee.  Cancellations occurring less than 30 days prior to arrival will forfeit 100% of the reservation value. If final payment is not received 30 days prior to arrival, the reservation balance will be charged to the credit card on file. Named hurricanes by the National Weather Service are the only exception to this rule. If a storm is expected, we will give a 100% refund if the trip is canceled 5 days before scheduled check-in. This gives the Guest time to watch the predicted weather for their trip.

Reservations for stays greater than 27 nights in duration: In the event of a cancellation for any reason after the first 24 hours of booking, all payments made will be forfeited. If the reservation was not paid in full at the time of booking, and the second payment is not received 30 days prior to arrival, the credit card on file will be charged.

If RED SKY TRAVEL INSURANCE is purchased, trip cost can be reimbursed for covered cancellation reasons (See Travel Insurance section below). Future credits or date changes are not allowed, so trip cancellation insurance is strongly advised. CANCELLED RESERVATIONS WITHOUT RED SKY TRAVEL INSURANCE ARE NOT REFUNDABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

Guest waives their right to any credit card chargebacks due to no-shows, cancellations, or for any other reason.

TRAVEL INSURANCE/INCLEMENT WEATHER: Refunds will not be made for inclement weather under any circumstances unless travel insurance has been obtained, which covers certain weather conditions, including government mandated evacuations due to hurricanes and tropical storms.
