- Hurricane Cancellation Policy -
Effective June 1 to Nov. 30:
We do not refund for inclement weather or other circumstances beyond our
control. We strongly encourage the purchase of Travel Insurance to protect
your vacation investment!
 Please
note that we do not sell Travel Insurance, but provide a link on this website
to Travel
Guard International, one of the most reputable and comprehensive providers
in the travel industry.
In the unlikely event that a hurricane evacuation
is ordered while you are a guest, and you have not purchased
travel insurance, you will be issued a voucher for the unused
portion of your stay. Guests holding a confirmed reservation
who are unable to travel because of the closing of the Key West
Airport or connecting roadways due to a mandatory evacuation
and have not purchased travel insurance, will receive a voucher
in the amount of the room deposit held. Vouchers are redeemable
between June 1 and December 1, up to two years from the issue
date, excluding special events and holidays. (Exception: Vouchers
issued for cancellations of Fantasy Fest reservations can be
applied to future Fantasy Fests in the ensuing two years.)
No voucher will be issued if the hurricane is
not a threat to Key West and you are unable to travel because
of canceled flights or adverse travel conditions outside the
Keys. We strongly encourage the purchase of Travel Insurance
to protect your vacation investment!
- Pets: Pets
are allowed in certain units and do incur an additional $200 charge
per pet for the month. There is a maximum weight and number of
pets per reservation. Please inquire about specifics when making
reservation.
We have a crate available for your use ($5 per day) if you choose not to
bring one with you.
- Smoking: Smoking
is allowed outside only and ashtrays are provided. If you do choose
to smoke inside, an additional cleaning fee of $250 will be charged.
- Guest Responsibilities: The
rental agreement specifies the number of adults and children allowed
to stay as guests in the unit. If a number greater than the agreed
upon number and ages occurs, you will be asked to leave with no
refund.
- A guest signing the rental agreement assumes
all responsibility for the actions and behavior of all guests and
agrees to follow the rules of the property posted therein.
- Our properties are in residential neighborhoods
and are unsuitable for loud parties, events or entertaining groups.
If behavior or noise results in a noise complaint or any violation
set forth by the City of Key West laws and ordinances, or any other
violation of the rental agreement, you will be asked to leave with
no refunds given.
- Spring breakers are not allowed in any of
our properties. Occupants under the age of 25 must be accompanied
