StayLuxe Rental Policies, Terms, and Conditions

In consideration of the monies received and mutual promises, the owner of the Rental (Property), through its management agent, StayLuxe Properties (management company), agrees to grant use of the property booked to Renter (Guest). This agreement is for the use of the physical property only. It is NOT a guarantee of the use of or availability of local events, attractions, restaurants, shopping venues, etc.

The use of the property under this Agreement is for short-term accommodations and not a tenancy agreement.

RESERVATIONS, PAYMENTS, AND BALANCES DUE: Reservations can be made online, or by calling our reservations desk during regular office hours. Online booking through the StayLuxe website and VRBO requires the acceptance of terms and conditions and valid credit card information. Reservations require 50% advance deposit of the accommodation fare and 100% of additional fees for reservations made 31 days or more prior to the arrival date with the remaining balance of the accommodation fare due 30 days prior to the arrival date, or 100% payment for reservations made within 30 days of the arrival date. Rental charges and balances due are authorized to be made with the MasterCard, Visa, Discover or AMEX credit card used at the time of booking. StayLuxe Properties shall have the right, without further notification, to deem the reservation canceled without refund of advance deposits if the final payment is not received when due, or if card on file cannot be charged for any reason. Payments and balances due for reservations made through the Airbnb booking platform are handled directly by Airbnb, as they are the merchant of record for said reservations.
