CANCELLATION POLICY: All cancellations by a Guest must be made in writing and received and acknowledged by KBHVR on behalf of the Property Owner. If the Guest wishes to cancel the Rental Agreement after it has been signed by a Guest and returned to KBHVR there is a cancellation consequence of forfeiture of 200.00 reservation deposit for weekly rentals. If the rental is monthly, one half of the rental amount will be retained as a consequence. This is to recoup income lost due to the rental unit being off the market for rent. If further payment has been made, the balance less the 200.00 (or half rental amount for monthly rentals) will be refunded up to thirty days prior to check-in. Any cancellations within thirty days of check in will incur loss of full payment. In very few circumstances, at owner/agent discretion, monies will be returned IF the property can be re rented for the contracted period of time.
There will be no refunds for shortened stays of cancellations due to family emergencies, work obligations, ruined expectations because of weather, power outages or other unexpected conditions which are beyond our control.

Owner reserves the right to cancel reservations due to unforeseen circumstances including but not limited to unexpected issues with unit (such as AC/Heat failures that cannot be immediately corrected), unintended double booking, unforeseen issues with hostile and unruly potential guests. The above happens very rarely but there is potential for such occurrences.

Updated COVID Cancellation Policy: AS of March 31,2021, COVID-19 is a foreseeable event and therefore, limitations are applicable for cancellation. If the state of South Carolina goes into a mandatory shutdown monies will be either be credited back to you for a future stay or refunded at owners discretion! Otherwise, the guest assumes all financial responsibility of the reservation and cancellations and cancellations will be subject to the normal cancellation policy. If you are concerned about this, please purchase cancellation insurance that is offered to you for a nominal fee at time of booking the reservation.

INSPECTION OF PROPERTY: If Guest does not personally inspect the premises prior to signing this Agreement, Guest agrees to accept the rental property, as is, upon arrival. In addition, Guest agrees that Guest will not be entitled to a refund of rental money and will have no claim or recourse against the owners or agents of the property. No refunds are given due to unmet expectations such as, but not limited to, changes in décor, furniture or amenities, inconveniences such as power outages, inoperable equipment, adverse road and /or weather conditions, acts of God and use of cleaning chemicals (although we use a few chemicals as possible) poor lighting, the presence of insects, neighborhood construction, neighborhood or road noise, or allergic reactions.

BUGS AND PESTS: The location along the South Carolina Coast is beautiful! However, the hot damp sea air does occasionally attract bugs of various types.....Our HOA does take active steps in keeping these critters at a minimum, however, you may see an occasional insect. Guests acknowledge that in a beach area there will be bugs - different kinds of bugs at different seasons. This is mostly limited to an occasional Palmetto Bug (roach) but for the most part no bugs are generally seen! In order to prevent problems, our HOA has contracted for monthly in unit pest control. If the monthly service falls on a day that you are visiting, please allow pest control to enter the premises. This spray is harmless to humans and treatment takes only a few minutes and is necessary to prevent a potential infestation of our homes. Failure to allow access of pest control will result in a charge of 50.00 deducted from your security deposit. This is very important to our HOA community and is treated as such!
