Cancellations
VACATION RENTAL ACCOMMODATIONS
Homes are individually owned, and we are unable to transfer reservations. In the event that a reservation has to be cancelled, written notice is required and must be received by KEES Vacations prior to check in. The tenant is responsible for verifying that the cancellation letter has been received by KEES Vacations. In order to advertise the property available for re-rent, rental amount must be paid in full. Refunds are only available if the property is re-rented. We will make every reasonable effort to re-rent the property. If the property is re-rented for the original rental agreement rate, tenant will receive a refund of the advance rental payment less the administrative fee, less any insurance payment, less any third-party fees and is subject to a cancellation penalty of $75.00. If the property is re-rented for less than the original rental agreement rate, tenant will be responsible for the difference in balances and is subject to a cancellation penalty of $75.00. If the property is not re-rented, no refund will be paid. TRAVEL INSURANCE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO PROTECT AGAINST UNEXPECTED EVENTS. Travel insurance is nontransferable. One time Date Modifications may be considered ONLY WITHIN THE SAME PROPERTY AND SAME CALENDAR YEAR, no later than 30 days prior to arrival, and are subject to an additional administrative fee, availability, and minimum length of stay restrictions.
