Terms and Conditions

Weather, Fire, Air Quality/Smoke, Emergency-Related Issues/Force Majeure/Travel Insurance
If a confirmed road closure, evacuation orders, travel restrictions at your location or ours keep you from being able to get to us, we’ll refund all your money. If driving (or other) conditions are simply such that you would prefer not to make the trip, all terms listed below apply; we will not refund money because you choose not to come. If the weather or other conditions get bad once you’re here, i.e., power outages, unhealthy air quality/smoke, interrupted supplies of food, fuel, etc., and/or other inconveniences, we will reasonably attempt to help make the balance of your stay with us a comfortable one. You are hereby reminded that our coastal region is already geographically isolated, and may become temporarily cut off to vehicular travel and/or support services during extreme weather, or other events beyond our control (wildfire, earthquake, etc). We will not offer refunds due to any of these occurrences. Also see CANCELLATIONS paragraph. Travel Insurance is available, recommended, and may still be added by contacting one of the providers online.

Confirmation / Reservation Fee / Balance of Payment
You will receive a confirmation and further instructions upon receipt of your initial payment. The final rent payment is due two weeks before your arrival date. You’ll receive a courtesy reminder near that time, however the payment will be automatically processed.

Cancellations / Moving to a Different House Upon Arrival

24-hour policy. State law requires a full refund for reservations canceled within 24 hours of booking. This does not apply to last-minute bookings (made within 72 hours of check-in). Once that 24-hour window has passed, cancellations are as follows:

With at least fourteen days’ notice of a cancellation (30 days for Christmas and New Year's), we will charge a $20 cancellation fee. With early departure, or cancellation of any of the reserved dates with less than fourteen days’ notice, you will be charged for one-half the cancelled rent amount. Should Coasting Home, Inc. initiate cancellation of a reservation or a relocation, these terms do not apply.
 

Deposit Refund / Belongings Left Behind
Your deposit will be refunded less any deductions that may have accrued, within 21 days of your departure date. Please do not contact our office to check on the refund status until AFTER that 21 days. By signing below you also agree to accept responsibility for any damages resulting from your stay that exceed the deposit amount.

We are not responsible for items you may have left behind in the home. When you notify us promptly about a lost item, we will make an effort to retrieve and return it to you for $20 plus the postage cost, but we can't promise it will be found or in the same condition as when you left it. (see Check-in / Check-out below)

Occupancy Limit / Parking / Sub-leasing / Guests of Renters **RESTRICTIONS SUBJECT TO CHANGE**
Maximum occupancy allowed is indicated in your confirmation. No more than that number are to be in the home at any time. If you desire to have a gathering that will exceed that number you MUST receive permission from the rental office several days in advance. A maximum of 4 cars is allowed, and they must be in the garage or driveway. DO NOT PARK ON GRASS. You are solely responsible for all terms and arrangements. You may NOT sub-lease your stay, or leave early and allow someone else to remain for the length of your rental. If you plan to split time in the rental home, you must notify our office and BOTH PARTIES must sign this rental agreement. BOTH PARTIES will be held fully responsible for all terms and arrangements. The rental record and potential for additional charges or fees is affected by violations regardless of which party violated.

Cleaning / Linens / BYOL
Due to recurring local drought conditions, many guests are electing to Bring Your Own Linens, (sheets and towels) then take them home to launder. If you agree to that your cleaning fee is reduced accordingly by $20 per bedroom. You are also agreeing to NOT USE THE LAUNDRY MACHINES in your rental home to wash your linens, subject to reinstatement of any previously discounted charges. Your rent payment covers the cost of our cleaning and linen service (if not BYOL). This fee provides for a standard amount of linens and thorough cleaning after your departure. If extra cleaning, (more than 4 hours) or excessive laundry is required, an additional charge at the rate of $40 per hour will be charged.

Smoking
SMOKING IS NOT ALLOWED IN ANY RENTAL HOME. If you must smoke, do so outdoors. Keep doors and windows closed to avoid smoke drifting inside. There must be no cigarette butts or other debris left on premises. It can be very costly to remove odors from smoking.
Pets
Please assume that no homes allow pets. We do have several pet-friendly homes, but these are the only homes where your pet may come, and it will be with advance notice only, and will require an additional payment. IF THERE HAS BEEN NO PRIOR AGREEMENT WITH COASTING HOME, YOU MAY NOT BRING A PET TO THE HOME.

Check-in / Check-out
Check-in time is 4:00PM. Check-out is 11:00AM. Prior to your arrival date, you will receive arrival instructions by email. You may also receive a text message, an email, or simply a verbal communication containing directions to your rental, as well as the lockbox code to access your entry key. (Additional items will be found in the home including any applicable guest passes, check-out instructions, emergency information, etc.) Please use the app to check in and out by texting to inform us of your arrival, and again to notify us at the time of your departure. Remember to be sure you have packed up all your belongings before departing.

Reassignment / Showing by Real Estate Agents
If necessary, Coasting Home reserves the right to reassign your reservation to another home. Some of our homes are also for sale. This may result in the need to show the home during your stay. This may ultimately result in the sale of the house prior to your arrival date. We reserve the right to reassign you or (when unavoidable) cancel your reservation. Refer to preceding CANCELLATIONS paragraph.

Violation of Terms
Violation of any of the stated terms of this contract, i.e., pets, BYOL, maximum occupancy, etc., could increase your reservation charges. In addition, you will be liable for any additional costs resulting from the violation including fines to the homeowner, damages, or other losses.
