Check-In / Check-Out

Check-In is always on Saturday anytime after 1:00 PM. Check-Out is always on the following Saturday at no later than 10:30 AM. Minimum length of stay is one week.

Reservations

If you are paying by check, you must mail us a check to secure your reservation. Any reservation that is not paid in full within 7 days of placing the reservation will be automatically cancelled. Your check must include the security deposit. Please include the Check-In Date in your check's memo area. Also, you should include your mailing address if it is not on your check so we know where to mail your security deposit after your departure. If you fail to provide payment before the reservation expires, the system will prevent you from being able to reserve that week again. If you still wish to book it, you will be forced to use a credit card. We can not allow people to "reserve" indefinitely. Finally, if you allow more than three reservations to expire, the system will automatically remove your ability to pay by check. You will only be allowed to pay by credit card.

Preferred* Customer Status

Our friends and family, clients of "Off the Top of Your Head" Salon in New Bern, previously-approved renters and our work colleagues are what we call "Preferred" renters. These renters receive substantial discounts on rental prices and no security deposit requirements in exchange for cleaning the house prior to their departure for the week. If you have rented from us before, email us to find out if you can become a "Preferred" renter prior to making your next reservation to enjoy discounted pricing. More detailed information can be found here.

Security Deposit

A refundable security deposit is required to secure a reservation. The amount is always $150.00 for all seasons. Assuming no damage has been made to the property, your security deposit will be refunded within two weeks of your departure.

Pet Deposit

If you plan on bringing any pets during your stay, you will be charged a $75.00 non-refundable pet fee.

PayPal Charge

If you prefer you may pay by credit card using PayPal. But, please be aware that we add PayPal's 2.90% fee onto your charges.

Refund Policy

During the Premium and High Seasons, if you need to cancel a booking, we require a minimum of eight weeks advance notice prior to your check-in date. During all other seasons we require six weeks advance notice. Otherwise, no refund will be given. Your refund amount will be minus any payment fees incurred plus a $75.00 handling fee per week. We will refund the pro-rated portion of your prepaid booking if extraordinarily inclement weather (i.e.; hurricane) prevents you from occupying the unit during all the days of your booking should the NTB township issue a mandatory evacuation order of the island. Also, if you just wish to re-schedule your booking, we will do so for a $75.00 handling fee (per week) provided you are moving your check-in date to another week with the same seasonal rate and assuming the unit is "Available" for re-booking. However, you cannot re-schedule your booking if you are within the above stated "cancellation" period.
