Holidays require that the cancellation be made within 45 days of the date of arrival. Cancellations, regardless of the reason, made within 30/45 days of your arrival date will result in forfeiture of your total deposit, less cleanup fee & damage deposit. NO CANCELLATION is allowed for any reservation made less than 30/45 days in advance. All reservations/deposits are non-transferable to another date. However, you are welcome to send a friend or family member in your place. All reservation cancellations are subject to a $50.00 administrative fee.
