The $400 Security Deposit secures your reservation and then when you arrive at Seaview, the $400 becomes a Damage Deposit. If Occupancy is more than 4 months out,, then the Guest will pay 100% of the Total Due at 3 months from occupancy. For bookings less than 4 months out, but more than 6 weeks out, 100% of the Total Due is due 10 days from when the booking was made., If the booking is less than 6 weeks out then 100% is due via a credit card with 3.3% cc fee added, OR check via UPS/Fedex within 3 days. These payments are via your personal check or e-check. If a check submitted “bounces”, then a $25 bounced check fee will apply and that payment will be converted to a credit card payment and will include a 3.3% credit card convenience fee.

TRIP INSURANCE: If you have a medical or other situation with someone in your party or know of some other insurable reason where you might need to cancel, you do need to obtain Trip Insurance to protect your vacation investment.

If such an evacuation is issued, the law says you must leave Seaview and St George Island. Please note that Hurricane season is June 1st thru Nov 30th. For this time period in particular, you are urged to get Travel Insurance to protect your vacation investment. Once again, there is no refund in the event of a storm evacuation , a personal medical issue, or a pandemic….please consider Cancel for Any Reason trip insurance! *****You MUST obtain trip insurance within about 1 week of your initial payment be to covered for pre-existing medical conditions and Cancel for Any Reason.******
EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION:
In the event of an equipment malfunction, no refund of any money is available. We will make every effort to repair or remedy the problem in a timely manner. However, you must remember that one of the challenges of a rural island community is that repairman often take a couple of days to get to us, and may not have the parts needed for a repair. This does not happen often, but it can!
