Cancellation. Vacation Home rentals are totally
different than a hotel or motel reservation. The homes are usually
booked far in advance. The home is removed from the market,
once a reservation is made. Approximately 85% of our reservations
are repeat customers from the previous year and the bulk of
the reservations for Bamboo Shores Vacation Rental homes are
made by January of the rental year. We have the following cancellation
policy:
Pets. WE DO NOT ALLOW PETS.
We have some people who are allergic to pets. I realize
pets are very important to some people and we used to allow
them, but the problem arose when we started getting people
who brought multiple large dogs and they did not clean up
after them, plus they barked and bothered the neighbors. People
seem to understand the situation and make other arrangements
for their pets. There is a Kennel nearby if you can make no
other arrangements.
Neighbors next door. We realize you are
on vacation and you want to have a good time, but just bear
in mind that the people living on both sides of you are living
in their own homes and they may have to get up the next day
and go to work. You can certainly have a campfire, but remember
to put the fire out before you retire and keep the noise down
late at night so other people can sleep. Totally extinguish
campfires before retiring for the evening. The neighbors are
friendly people and welcome you to our neighborhood, but they
are like anyone else, they will respond to you as you respond
to them. I would suggest you say hello and introduce yourself
when you see them outside, because you may make a new friend
and you may be coming back to visit us year after year. Some
of our guests have become very good friends with the neighbors.
(It is better to be remembered as the guest the neighbor looks
forward to seeing next year, than "the renter from
Hell")
Repeat Booking. A present guest will always
have first right to the same week or weekend, the following
year, they are occupying now. You may renew for the following
year at the time you are leaving. Your slot will be made available
to other people if you do not request it while you are staying
with us.
Guests. We do not have additional charges
for guests or extra people sleeping in the house. We don't
come and count or make you try to hide how many people you
are going to have. We have large and very nice Vacation Rental
Homes and we want you to be comfortable and enjoy your stay.
We want you to have an "experience" that makes you
want to visit Bamboo Shores Vacation Rental Homes again
and not look for some other place.
Payment. We accept Checks, Cash, and Master
Card and Visa Credit Cards. We would appreciate it if you
can pay by check or cash when you check into the house, rather
than using a credit card. We will take the credit card, if
you are unable to pay with a check or cash. The deposit will
be returned within 10 days of your departure or it may be
applied toward your rental for the next year, if you so desire.
All prices subject to increase for special events or without
notice.
