Addressing Vacation Rental Issues
We service vacation rentals based on immediacy and severity of issues, so low-priority items (minor appliances, trash, etc.) or items that require work from an outside vendor can take longer to be resolved. High-priority items ( alarms, large appliances, etc.) will be addressed as soon as possible, and immediate issues (cleaning, HVAC, plumbing, etc.) will be priority. We will make every effort to resolve your issue during your stay; however, circumstances sometimes arise that make this option unavailable.
Water Quality/Quantity
With properties located in remote areas, including the mountains and ocean, water quality may not always be what you are accustomed to. While it is completely safe for consumption – often fresher and purer than “city water” – and typical for the area in which you are staying, the water may have a different taste, smell, or even color than what you may expect.
If your property is on a well, please be conscious of your water usage during your stay as it can sometimes take up to 6 hours for a well to refill. Using too much at the same time may result in a shortage of water until the well refills. Please help by not leaving sinks, showers or hoses running.

For emergency after-hours assistance, call our office at 1-888-509-0039. For life-threatening emergencies, call 911.
Damage to Premises
Any damages or issues found by the guest must be reported within 24 hours of standard check-in time. If damages or issues are not reported within this timeframe, Guest will not be reimbursed.
