VACATION RENTAL AGREEMENT

1. RESPONSIBLE PARTY:
The reservation is required to be made by an individual of at least 25 years of age unless he/she is an active member of the military.

Reservations obtained under false pretenses will cause forfeiture of all payments, and Guest will be asked to vacate the Property immediately. This policy includes reservations made by parents who do not check-in and/or who leave overnight during the length of the stay. NO EXCEPTIONS!
