(AS OF MAY 2022)

GENERAL — Serenisea Cottages and Vacation Homes are made available for the quiet use and enjoyment of you, our guests. We request that guests respect the facilities being provided and not disturb other guests or neighbors around you. The nature of our location and the locations of many of our vacation homes pose certain natural hazards. We ask that guests observe the instructions and restrictions for their unit provided by Serenisea. We will not be responsible for accidents or injury to guests or for loss of valuables.

RESERVATIONS — Reservations may be made by calling (800) 331-3836 or (707) 884-3836. All reservations made in advance shall be for a minimum of two nights. Special minimum stays may be applied to certain holiday periods.

DEPOSITS — Reservations may be secured by giving Serenisea a valid credit card number at the time the reservation is made. A $20.00 reservation fee will the charged to your credit card at that time. This fee will be applied to the rent due at check in. If you do not wish to use a credit card to guarantee your reservation you may send us a check or money order for an amount equal to the base rate rent for your stay. This check/money order must be received by Serenisea 1) within one week of the date the reservation is made, and 2) at least two weeks prior to your scheduled arrival date. Later reservations must be secured with a credit card. Note the Security Deposit requirements under SECURITY/ DAMAGE DEPOSIT below.

RATES The base rental rate quoted for each unit is for one or two persons per night inclusive. If there are more than two people in your party, an extra-person rate will be applied as follows: for each extra person 16 years of age or older, add 10% to the base rental rate; for each child under 16, where permitted, add 5% to the base rental rate. For example on a $200/night rental for 3 adults and 1 child, add 10% or $20/night for the 3rd adult, and 5% or $10/night for the child. Discounts — The first three nights of any stay in the same unit will be charged at the above rates; subsequent nights in the same unit will receive a discount of 30% from those rates. If you pay for your stay with cash, personal check, or travelers checks, you will receive a $5/night discount from the base rental rate. County Bed Tax of 11% will be added to the above rates.

RESTRICTIONS — Each rental has different restrictions pertaining to maximum occupancy, and whether children under 16 or pets are permitted. All Serenisea rentals are non-smoking units. Please note these Restrictions when making your rental choice.

RENT PAYMENT — Rent payment shall be due at check-in. Credit cards, cash, personal and travelers checks, and money orders are acceptable forms of payment of the rent due. A discount is offered if rent is paid by cash, check, or money order (see RATES above). If payment is made by personal check, a credit card must be presented to meet the Security Deposit & Additional Charges requirements noted below.

SECURITY/DAMAGE DEPOSIT — A Security/Damage Deposit of up to $500.00 will be collected, in addition to the rent, from you at check-in unless you authorize use of a credit card to cover any Additional Charges that you incur (see ADDITIONAL CHARGES below).
