Guest Verification Form A welcome message with a Guest verification form link will be sent upon reservation. This is required to be completed before check-in date. The form will require our guests to upload the front and back of a valid ID such as Passport, Driver's License, etc., to verify our guests. The ID's are stored only until guests check-out and will be deleted automatically. For errors uploading the ID due to large formats, please contact us directly.
Cancellation Policy Guests can cancel up to 14 days before arrival and receive their deposit but a processing fee of $75 will be charged. Deposits will not be refunded if the reservation is canceled within 14 days before arrival. You are always welcome to send a friend or family member in your place. Please note, if a change of guest is made, we must be made aware of who will be staying in your place. If a guest does not arrive on their check in date, they will still be charged.
If any change of dates (including shortening a reservation) is requested within 14 days*, regardless of the reason, a one-time change is permitted, subject to availability and minimum stay restrictions. There is a $75 fee for this change and your deposit becomes non-refundable. After check-in, a shortened stay will remain charged in full per the original reservation.
For larger group reservations of four or more rooms, advanced cancellation notice of 60 days is required.
For reservations longer than 7 nights, a 30 day cancellation notice is required for a full refund.
