Guest Policies

 

 

Sunset Island has clear and comprehensive policies to help protect both the owners and guests of our immaculate vacation homes. While Sunset Island strives to keep all online and printed material current, policies can change without notice. Please call our friendly and knowledgeable staff with any questions.

To review a specific policy, please click the link below:

 

 

Accidental Damage Waiver

We take no security deposits for our reservations. Instead of writing a check or charging a credit card for a security deposit, guests pay a non-refundable inexpensive flat fee covering accidental damages. The damage waiver does not cover intentional acts or those acts breaking any other rental policy (ex: pet damage or party damages). All reservations are charged this $45 mandatory Accidental Damage Waiver fee. It is automatically added to each reservation at booking.

The damage waiver is limited to a maximum total of $1,000 per stay and applies to the entire stay. All damage must be reported at the time of incident. Our staff will determine the necessary repairs. If damage is not reported, this waiver is void and you may be held responsible for repairs.

 

Damages

All items and furnishings must remain in the property and in original condition. Any damages beyond normal wear and tear are the sole responsibility of the guest. Please do not change the location of the furniture.

We are not responsible for any damages or injury that may occur, nor are we responsible for any articles lost, stolen or left behind.

 

Agent Access

Representatives of Sunset Island may enter the premises for the purpose of completing maintenance or for other necessary tasks. Occasionally, a vacation property is for sale and may be shown during your stay with us. These sales appointments usually take 10 to 15 minutes and are arranged in advance by our staff.
 

Repairs

Sunset Island is not responsible for air conditioning or appliances that fail to operate properly. We are also not responsible for maintenance issues, including, but not limited to, pest control and housekeeping. While no refunds or compensation will be given in such events, we will make every attempt to repair or replace breakdowns and other maintenance issues as quickly as possible.

 

Parking Passes

Due to the community association rules, only a limited number of parking passes may be issued to guests staying on Sunset Island in Ocean City. Please inquire about the number of passes you need when making a reservation. We appreciate your cooperation.

 

Cancellations & Refunds

There is no penalty for changing or canceling within 24 hours of booking.  Payments are forfeited for cancellations made thereafter unless the property is re-rented and confirmed - at the same rate - for the cancelled dates. Guests are responsible for any un-booked nights and there will be a 6% change reservation fee.

Changing a reservation in any way (dates, accommodations, etc.) is considered a cancellation and the same terms and conditions apply.

Refunds are not given for inclement weather, including hurricane evacuation.

 

Check-in & Check-out

Check-in time is 3 p.m. or later. Check-out time is 11 a.m. or earlier. Late check- outs are not possible in the Summer season. There is no refund for early departures. Late check-outs incur a charge equal to one half of the daily rate.

If you plan on arriving after office hours, contact us in advance to make late check-in arrangements.

Unreturned keys and/or garage door openers results in a deposit forfeiture. No exceptions.
