Refunds

Your reservation and this signed Agreement binds you to the Property for a specific period of time. There should be no expectation of a refund or relocation because you are disappointed with the Property you have rented or because something associated with the Property is not working to your satisfaction.  Unlike a hotel, we cannot relocate you without specific authorization from the Owner of the Property.  Manager will make every effort to correct any problems that arise during your stay in a timely manner.   However, there will be no refunds for mechanical failure of nonessential items such as TVs, Internet, and grills.

Travel Protection Plan - You are a valued guest and we want to do everything possible to make your trip enjoyable and worry free.  CSA’s Vacation Rental Insurance Plan can provide insurance in the event of unexpected, unforeseeable circumstances that affect your travel plans (trip cancellation, delay and interruption, medical expenses etc).  Obtain more details at: www.vacationrentalinsurance.com/330CERT. You acknowledge that travel insurance is offered and you must purchase it independently through the travel insurance company, Generali, using the link provided, before the final payment is made.

It is your responsibility to make any and all travel arrangements to Put-in-Bay (South Bass Island).  You can make travel arrangements by going to www.millerferry.com and www.jet-express.com.
