UNLESS OTHERWISE ADVISED, the balance will be charged to the same account on or about May 1st.
CANCELLATIONS
Because of our small size, remote location and short visitor season, cancellations affect us significantly. A cancellation may leave us little chance of filling the reserved space and we may have turned away larger parties to hold your space. For these reasons, we uphold a strict cancellation policy. Travel insurance is strongly recommended. Travel insurance products online can be found at www.Travelex-Insurance.com, www.travelguard.com, www.travelinsured.com and www.accessamerica.com.
Written notice must be received in our office for a cancellation to be valid. A reduction in persons, cabins or suites is considered a cancellation. If cancellation occurs more than 90 days prior to the arrival date, the fee is 25% of the total reservation cost. From 90 days to 60 days, the fee is 50% of the total reservation cost. 59 days or less, the fee is 100% of the total reservation cost. Your funds, less $50 per person, will be happily refunded if we are able to re-book the space. You are welcome to send another party in your place.
