CONFIRMATION
OF RESERVATIONS
Atlantic Beach Realty, Inc. complies with the N.C. Vacation Rental Act(NC General Statutes Section 42A-1).
Reservations may be made in person, online or by calling 252-240-7368 or 800-786-7368.
Please review the property information carefully and determine your rental
preferences. When you contact our office please tell us the properties
that suit your needs and your vacation dates. The earlier your reservation
is made, the more likely you are to receive your first choice. Our reservationists
will assist you with any questions before booking your reservation. A
rental agreement confirming your reservation will be mailed to you detailing
your rental charges and initial deposit amount. Please sign this agreement
and return it with your advance deposit within 5 days of making your reservation.
The required deposit is ½ the rental amount, a $45 non-refundable reservation
fee, and any applicable travel insurance premium. The balance of your
rental is due 30 days prior to your arrival. Your deposit will be held
in an interest-bearing account with interest payable to the Agent.
NIGHTLY
RENTALS
During
the season, advance reservations are taken for weeks only. Weeks run Saturday
to Saturday or Sunday to Sunday. If the property rents by the night and
is available, we will take reservations one week prior to your arrival.
A two-night minimum is required. You will be required during the call
to make payment in full via Visa or MasterCard. Memorial Day
weekend and Labor Day weekend reservations may be made one month in advance
with a three-night minimum.
TRIP CANCELLATION/INTERRUPTION PLAN
Atlantic Beach Realty offers CSA Travel Protection Cancellation/Interruption
Insurance. Travel insurance charges are automatically added to your advance
rental payment. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO PURCHASE CSA TRAVEL PROTECTION,
YOU MAY DELETE THE CHARGE BY SIGNING WHERE INDICATED ON THE LEASE.
The Trip Cancellation/Interruption insurance is optional BUT strongly
recommended. We advise you to purchase this travel insurance so you and
your family will be financially reimbursed in cases of unforeseeable events.
This includes protection against loss of vacation time due to severe storm
evacuations and other benefits too numerous to list in this space. If
you choose not to purchase the travel insurance, no refunds will be given
in the event of unforeseeable cancellations, including hurricane evacuations.
A brochure describing this coverage is mailed with every rental confirmation.
For more information, you may call CSA Travel Protection at 800-554-9839.
CANCELLATIONS
If your reservation must be canceled, for any reason, all money paid
will be forfeited (except security deposit) unless the property is re-rented
for the entire canceled period and for the full rental amount. If we are
able to re-rent the property for the full rental amount then all funds
will be refunded except the reservation fee, trip insurance premium (if
applicable) and a cancellation fee of $50. In order to protect your vacation
investment please consider purchasing the travel interruption insurance.
Information will be provided with your confirmation. A request to transfer
to another week at the same property for the same year will be honored
if available and a $75 fee charged. A request to transfer to another property
is considered a cancellation.
