Guest authorizes Tybee Luxury Rentals  to keep the $300 security deposit in the event of the following: intentional damage, theft, excessive cleaning after departure, unintentional and incidental damage exceeding the amount of coverage purchased, any damage or flea infestation caused by a pet, unauthorized pets, property damage, extensive cleaning required at check-out, smoking in nonsmoking units, exceeding occupancy or parking limits, and any other mentioned charges/policies in Tybee Luxury Rentals Rental Agreement. Guest will be notified of any damage/costs in writing. Any material damage to the Rental Property will be charged immediately to the Guest’s credit card. Guest, in signing below, assumes full responsibility for any items damaged due to misuse or negligence or action on guest's part, except in the case of normal wear-and tear reported to Tybee Luxury Rentals within 24 hours of check-in, and for any items found to be missing. Guest is responsible for notifying Tybee Luxury Rentals immediately upon check-in if the Rental Property is found in less than good condition or any damage is noted. If damages occur during your stay, please notify us immediately.

Damage
We ask our guests to report any breakage or damages to us upon occurrence, prior to check out and settle the matter prior to leaving. If there is any damage to the Rental Property or its furnishings, the Guest does agree to be responsible for the cost to repair any damages done by either Guest or Guest family. All Rental Properties are inspected after each Guest by a property inspector and reported to Tybee Luxury Rentals for appropriate billing.

Refunds
The Rental Agreement is a legally binding agreement between Guest, Tybee Luxury Rentals and the Property Owner. Your reservation and signed Rental Agreement bind you to a specific property for a specific period of time. There should be no expectation of refunds or relocation because you are disappointed with the property you have rented or in the event that something associated with the property is not working to your satisfaction. Unlike a hotel, we cannot relocate you without specific authorization from the Property Owner. We will make every attempt to correct any problem that arises during your stay in a timely manner.  There will be no refunds for mechanical failure of items such as air conditioner, TV, dishwasher, washer/dryer, or other luxury items.

Cancellation Policies & Fees
How to cancel a confirmed reservation:  Call us as soon as you know that you will be unable to keep your reservation in order to give us as much time as possible to re-rent your reserved property.  We require written notification of cancellation signed by the leaseholder (the person in whose name the reservation has been made).  Notification can be delivered by mail, fax or email.  If your cancelled reservation is successfully re-rented and confirmed, you will be refunded the rent and taxes and other fees except for a $150 cancellation fee.  If your reserved property does not successfully re-rent, you will forfeit all monies paid to Tybee Luxury Rentals.

Trip Cancellation Insurance
 CSA, Inc offers you trip cancellation insurance to protect your vacation investment against hurricane evacuations, injury, sickness, or death and other unforeseen covered circumstances as determined by CSA, Inc, which could cause cancellation of confirmed reservation and forfeiture of payments. The optional trip cancellation insurance cost is a small percentage of the Trip Cost (Trip Cost is the total of Rent, Tax and Reservation Fee).  We do not sell insurance; your contract will be with CSA, Inc.  If you decline this insurance, you must indicate so where appropriate on the signed Rental Agreement.

Hurricane Evacuation
In the event of an ordered evacuation due to hurricanes or other storms, you are required by state law to evacuate property. If you have declined trip cancellation insurance, you shall not be entitled to a refund. Refunds and coverage issues will be based and determined solely by CSA Inc. and the existing policy will be issued to Guest if coverage of this insurance has been elected upon making reservation. Refunds for the period of mandatory evacuation will be made solely by CSA, provided Guest has purchased optional trip cancellation insurance. Refer to trip cancellation policy or contact CSA directly for specific information and/or refund procedures. If you choose to leave due to “Storm Warnings” or “Voluntary Evacuation” no refunds will be given. We will not issue refunds in part or in full for inclement weather. Our recommendation for travels during hurricane season is for you to research and purchase trip cancellation insurance.

Indemnification
The Guest agrees to indemnify the owner for any damages to or loss from the rental house, grounds, furnishings, appliances, household items and any other of the Owner’s property resulting during the Guest’s rental term, normal wear and tear excluded. The Guest further agrees to indemnify and hold the owner and the rental agent (Tybee Luxury Rentals) harmless from any claim or liability for any loss or damage whatsoever arising from, related to or in connection with the rental of this rental property, including but not limited to any claim for personal injury or damage or loss of property which is made, incurred or sustained by the Guest or other occupants or invitees of Guest, excepting if such damage or loss results directly from the willful misconduct or sale negligence of the owner or the agent.
