Terms and Conditions of Rental

To confirm the cottage rental, we would require the 50% deposit through e-transfer/cheque/credit card payments: however, cc payments will incur a 3.75% service fee. The standard forms completed and returned.

Deposit

At the time of acceptance by owner, a 50% deposit is due. The outstanding balance, plus the $300.00 refundable security deposit is due 30 days prior to your stay. If the booking is within 30 days of occupancy, the full amount is due.

Damage Deposit

A $300.00 refundable security deposit is required. This will be completely refunded within 14 days of your stay as long as the cottage is in the same condition as when rented. Costs for breakage, damage or cleaning will be taken out of the deposit. Cleaning fees are $50.00 per hour.

Number of guests per cottage

Each cottage has a maximum number of guests. The number of guests must not exceed the maximum as outlined in the listing and/or the number of agreed upon guests at the time of your inquiry as stated on the forms. Short term vacation providers have to adhere to all vacation rental policies as outlined by the town. This includes restrictions on the number of guests and visitors to the property. Information can be found at  https://www.southbrucepeninsula.com/en/index.aspx. The number of guests agreed to at the time of you inquiry must be adhered to throughout the rental period. No additional overnight/day guests are permitted and will result in immediate eviction. If you have family or friends staying in the area please meet them at the beach, cafe, restaurant. Managing the number of guests is important so that everyone enjoys their vacation and there is no strain to the well and septic systems or other systems for you and your guests or for future guests.

Pets

We cannot accept pets due to previous/future guests allergies.

Garbage

Garbage day is Monday. One bag of garbage per cottage is permitted by the town. Garbage and recycling need to be removed on or by the last day of your departure.

Cottage Rules

• Check in:   4:00pm / Check out:  11:00am
