- Check-in/out: Please note during our peak season (June-September) we discourage late check-outs and early check-ins due to the tight turn-around schedules of our cleaning teams. We are happy to allow for an early check-in or late check-out if our cleaning team is able to accommodate the request and still allow the rental to be cleaned to our quality standards and specifications. All early check-ins and late check-outs will be charged a $250.00 additional fee for this expedited service. We are able to accommodate early check-in and late check-outs during our off season (October-May) for a reduced fee of $50.00, please contact us for further information.

- Longer stays: Please be aware guest stays longer than 10-days will require mid-stay cleaning. Mid-stay cleaning fees are the same amount as the fee charged during booking. A weekly cleaning and linen/towel exchange is required for long-term guest stays, short-term guest stays may request a mid-stay cleaning for an extra fee.

- Security deposit: Please note that 3 days before check in time, we will place a temporary pre-authorization hold of $500 on your card. This hold verifies fund availability and covers potential incidental expenses during your stay. The hold will be released 7 days within check-out, pending no outstanding charges or damages. Your privacy and security are paramount, and all card information is handled confidentially.

- Cancellations: Please check the cancellation policy on your booking platform. Please note that even if you are eligible for a full refund, a credit card processing fee will be deducted.

Family trip to TC

Our stay at the harbor townhouse was enjoyable. Communication with the host before and during our stay was great. The property was well kept and clean although the outdoor furniture on the balcony could use a hose/wipe down for the season. Parking was a designated spot in a small lot directly behind the building. The unit is the upper two floors of a 3 floor townhouse, the living space and garage on the first floor appear to be another short term rental. This is one thing the listing should be more clear about. The opening and closing of the garage door was loud in the unit and definitely gave us a scare when someone arrived the second night we were there (we had just assumed it was host/owner storage). The kitchen was fairly well equipped. There were also a number of basic kitchen and bath items (ziploc bags, plastic wrap, foil, toiletries, etc.) provided which was nice. The location was great for our family, there is large park within walking distance for younger kids and it was quick and easy to get downtown or to the local beaches.
