Family Rental Frequently Asked Questions

How do I reserve my vacation?

As soon as you know the date of your vacation week,Give me a call to let me know what week you would like to reserve, then a 50% deposit is due. The 1st deposit I receive for that week gets the rental. We highly recommend that you "OVERNIGHT" your deposit to guarantee your vacation week(s) When the deposit has been received , I will mail you a rental lease with all of the instructions.  30 days before the start of your vacation, the remainder of your rent and security deposit is due.
