TERMS & CONDITIONS
|
|
ACCOMMODATIONS |
|
The accommodations offered to Renters are residential condominium apartments
owned by individual Unit Owners who opt to participate in an independent Rental
Program managed by Watch Hill Properties LLC, (the "Rental Operator").
The Rules and Regulations are taken from the Use provisions of the Condominium
Documents, restrictions of the individual Unit Owners, and the operating
guidelines of the Rental Operator.
The Watch Hill Inn Residence Rental Program is an independent operation
and not a hotel accommodation.
Each Residence may have its own restrictions, however, the Rental Operator uses
reasonable judgment in protecting the Residence and integrity of the Rental
Program.
Therefore, Renters are required to email
or sign a "Rental Policy Agreement" acknowledging they are aware of
and agree to the Rules and Regulations of the Rental Program which are strictly
enforced by the Rental Operator.

RESERVATIONS |
|
Reservations made on the
Internet or Reception Office must be confirmed in writing by Management to be valid.
Management reserves the right to relocate Renters. |
|
|
Rates posted on the Internet and Rate Schedule are based on "Maximum
Occupancy" per Residence. Such Rates are subject to change without
notice.

Maximum Occupancy & Violation Penalties
Maximum Occupancy of each Unit is very serious and therefore strictly enforced. Renters who exceed Maximum
Occupancy will be required to leave the premises and
forfeit their money as a minimal penalty for the Violation.
There are no
refunds or rebates.
In addition, Renters who violate the Maximum Occupancy will be charged
per extra person, the amount of one half the day's Rate for every day in violation. This is the minimum
damage assessed on the Residence for overuse of the Residence and abuse of the Rental
Policy. The amount will be charged to the Renter's credit card on-file,
with or without notice to the Renter.
Individuals in excess of Maximum Occupancy
are deemed to be trespassers and treated according.
