Policies
and terms of rental for Sandy Cottage
- Payment
policy: Personal checks, in U.S. funds, money orders or cash are accepted.
Upon our confirmation that the requested dates are available, payment
of 50 percent of the rental within seven days will hold your reservation.
If the deposit is not received within seven days, no reservation will
be held. Fourteen days prior to your arrival date, the balance is due.
If the balance is not received and we have no word from you, we will
assume you’re not coming, will rent the cottage to someone else
and will keep your deposit.
- Cancellation
policy: You will receive a full refund if you cancel 14 days or more
before your rental commences. If you cancel with fewer than 14 days
until the rental commences, we will refund the deposit in full if we
can rent Sandy Cottage for the same period or will adjust the amount
of the refund to the extent we cannot. If the owners must cancel your
reservation for some reason, and we reserve the right to do so, monies
paid will be refunded in full.
- Refund
policy: Once you’re here, we do not issue a refund if the weather
is poor or you decide to leave early. However, if you feel we have misrepresented
Sandy Cottage, your money will be refunded.
- Sorry,
no pets, even though we love them.
- Quiet
hours are observed from 11 p.m. to 8 a.m.
- Smoking
is permissible outdoors only. (And no butts on the ground, please.)
- An outdoor
fireplace on a beach patio is available when the breeze is offshore.
No other open fires are permitted.
- Children
under 12 must have adult supervision whenever they are on the beach.
- Enjoyment
of the beach and Sandy Cottage is for registered guests only. If friends
visit you during your stay, Burtchville Park has a lovely beach and
picnic facilities less than a quarter-mile north. Restaurants are nearby.
- Space
for two cars is available. No parking or maneuvering room is available
for boats, RVs or similar toys. You may launch canoes or kayaks off
the beach. The back porch has room to shelter a couple bicycles.
- Telephone
use: For no charge, you may make free calls of five minutes or less
within a 75-mile radius within the U.S. Use phone card or credit card
for other calls. You will not directly receive incoming calls, except
by pre-arrangement, because they are forwarded to another number. Cellular
reception here is uneven.
- Footwear
that goes to the beach remains outside to preserve wood floors and carpeting.
- Sandy
Cottage is on a one-lane drive with other homes and cottages. Driving
in, please yield to outbound vehicles. Keep speed to 15 miles per hour
or less.
