Rates and Properties Comparison

Our economical "Value Season" rates in March, April and May are available during some of the mildest and most pleasant weather of the year.  And our specially discounted "Off-Season" rates make the fall and winter months perfect for affordable getaway vacationing. 

We think that our units are among the cleanest and most luxurious available anywhere on the Island.  You may find cheaper rates, but not nicer units.  If you prefer a quality vacation experience in a quiet and peaceful setting, you've come to the right place!

Policies:

• Reservations may be requested via the e-mail form under the Contact Us tab.  Please allow plenty of time in your vacation planning to determine availability and confirm your reservation. 
• All of our units are strictly non-smoking.  Pets are not allowed.  No exceptions.  It is our goal to provide a clean, odor-free environment for your vacation enjoyment.  Violations noted by our cleaning/management team are subject to damage assessment.
• A reservation is considered confirmed only upon receipt of a deposit, normally 50% of the rental amount.  To avoid delay and miscommunication, payment of the deposit by credit card is recommended.  We prefer to talk with you personally by phone about the deposit and about your Amelia vacation, and we prefer that you do not send your credit card information to us via e-mail.
• Once we accept your deposit, we'll send a rental agreement form, usually via e-mail.  This form is your assurance that we have committed the unit to you.  We ask that you print out this form (if e-mailed), fill in all the blanks, sign it and return it to us by regular mail.  Each rental requires a rental agreement form with original signatures for our files.
• The full rental amount must be received 30 days prior to arrival.
• Checking In:  The unit will be ready by 3:00pm.  Early check-ins are difficult, and normally not possible, due to the length of time required to clean the unit.  For your convenience, a lock-box is provided at the entry door of each unit.  Upon receipt of the full rental amount, we will e-mail you a 3- or 4-digit combination to the lock-box.  The keys to your unit will be found inside, along with any other information about the property that you may need (for example, the gate card at Ocean Park, Sailmaker and Patio Home).  For your initial entry into Summer Beach Village (Sailmaker and Patio Home units), which is a gated community, use the code "001" to call the remote gate attendant.  This code is written on the call-box at the gate for your convenience.  This procedure works at the Ocean Place unit as well.  Once you retrieve the keys and gate card from the lockbox, you may either use the plastic gate card found in the lock-box for each re-entry, or continue to dial "001" to call the attendant for subsequent entries. 
• It may or may not be possible for additional guests beyond the maximum occupancy shown above to stay in the unit.  The fee for extra guests beyond the maximum occupancy shown above, if approved, is $50.00 per week or $15.00 per day per each additional occupant. 
• Check-Out Time is 10:00am.  We normally rent from Saturday to Saturday.  Late check-out may be available at $25.00 per hour, only with approval, depending on the next guests' arrival.
• Cleaning Fees:  2BR units $75.00; 3BR units $85.00.  This will be calculated into the total of your rental payment.  You do not need to leave any additional compensation for the cleaning service.
• State & Local tax rates for 2004 are 7% and 2% respectively (9% total).
• Cancellation (please read carefully):  We understand that circumstances may force you to cancel a reservation with us.  However, once we accept your deposit, we take that unit off the market.  If you have to cancel, and if we receive notice 45 days or more prior to your intended arrival, at your request, we will refund your full deposit, less a $50.00 service fee.  If you cancel less than 45 but 30 days or more prior to your scheduled arrival, we will refund your deposit, less a $75.00 service fee.  Cancellations received less than 30 days prior to arrival forfeit the deposit, unless we can rebook the rental.  If you have to cancel outside our refund period, we will gladly apply your deposit to another stay, less the $75.00 fee. Credit card deposits will be credited back to your account after funds are posted to ours.
• Damages:  Our rental agreement specifies the use of your credit card as security against damages of up to $250.00, fair wear and tear excepted.  No up-front charge is made for a security deposit.  In the event damages are found, written notice will be given within 14 days after the rental period. 
• Please call for clarification if you have any questions about our policies.  It is our intention to do everything possible to help you have a memorable, perfect vacation on Amelia Island.  This is a premier destination, and there are so many things to do and places to see!  If we can help in any way with your preparation, please let us know.  Thanks, and come enjoy our wonderful island!!
