Final payments are due 60 days prior to arrival. Any final payment that is not received by the due date may result in cancellation of the reservation.

CHECK-IN: The check-in process begins at 4 p.m. but is not guaranteed. Guests should not expect to take occupancy sooner than times stated. In some cases check-in may be delayed due to circumstances beyond our control. Rate adjustments cannot be made for late check-in or early departure.
CHECK-OUT: Check-out will be promptly by 10 a.m. No late check-outs can be granted, any guest that fails to check-out by 10 a.m. will be assessed a late check-out fee of one days rent for failure to vacate. In any event the guest will not be allowed to occupy the premises after 10:00 am the day of check-out.
CANCELLATION POLICY: The Reservation Fee is a non-refundable fee at any time. D.V.R. will retain all prepaid funds should guest cancel at any point unless the rental property is re-booked for the same dates and rate. A partial refund may be applicable for the same dates booked at an adjusted rate. Optional trip insurance is available in most cases that can help to protect guests from unforeseeable circumstances that may be reason for cancellation. All cancellations must be made in writing to be binding. All cancellation refunds will be refunded, less administrative fees, 6-8 weeks after date of cancellation.
TRIP PROTECTION INSURANCE: D.V.R. does offer optional trip cancellation insurance for US residents which protects guests from unforeseen circumstances that may cause a cancellation or early departure. Trip insurance must be purchased at the time of confirming the reservation for pre-existing factors. Please ask our office for a brochure if you did not receive one.
CONFIRMATION: Reservations are not considered confirmed until a member of D.V.R. management has approved the booking. D.V.R. reserves the right to audit, adjust, or cancel any confirmed reservation for inaccuracy or misquoted information at no penalty to D.V.R.. Confirmation of rental property can only be established when a deposit is made. All payment and cancellation policies are placed in effect at that time. Once a reservation is confirmed, a rental property will be assigned. However, no rental property request is guaranteed. Any difference in rate is subject to guest approval.
SUBSTITUTES OF ACCOMMODATIONS: D.V.R. reserves the right to move, relocate, reassign or change the rental property noted on the front of this confirmation for unforeseen circumstances. D.V.R. will make every effort to re-book the guest in a like and kind or upgraded rental property. Under no circumstances does this confirmation guarantee the rental property selection or assignment. Under no circumstances will D.V.R. be liable for any other charges incurred for property moves or cancellations.
NO SMOKING: Our property is non-smoking. Smoking is permitted outside only. Some porches may not be suitable for smoking due to ventilation and proximity of rental properties nearby. Any guest that smokes inside a rental property will be asked to leave immediately and all charges to restore the rental property back to its original condition will be charged to the guest.
DAMAGE WAIVER: The cost is a onetime fee added onto the reservation. Paying the fee for this plan covers up to $1500 in accidental damage. The fee is easily cheaper than paying for that broken lamp or chair out of your pocket. The cost of this peace of mind will be added to your reservation during booking. The plan covers unintentional damage to the vacation rental during the remainder of your stay. Most common uses of the plan include carpet spills, furniture tears, broken lamps and more. The plan does not include intentional property damage or any pet damage (including in a pet-friendly home). The fee is non-refundable and may be replaced with a refundable security deposit of $1500.
ACTS OF NATURE: D.V.R. cannot be held liable for any acts of nature or occurrences beyond our control. No rate adjustments will be made.
