1. Check-In: Unless otherwise agreed, Check-in begins at 4:00 PM. Instructions for accessing your property will be emailed to you once Fresh Stays LLC receives a signed Guest Confirmation Agreement from you. A link will be provided in your confirmation email.
 

2. Checkout Time: Unless otherwise agreed, Checkout is no later than 11:00 AM on the departure date.

        2.1 You understand that a confirmed booking of an Accommodation (“Accommodation Booking”) is a limited license granted to you by the Host to enter, occupy and use the Accommodation for the duration of your stay, during which time the Host (only where and to the extent permitted by applicable law) retains the right to re-enter the Accommodation, in accordance with your agreement with the Host.

You agree to leave the Accommodation no later than the checkout time that the Host specifies in the Listing or such other time as mutually agreed upon between you and the Host. If you stay past the agreed-upon checkout time without the Host’s consent (“Overstay”), you no longer have a license to stay in the Accommodation and the Host is entitled to make you leave in a manner consistent with applicable law. In addition, you agree to pay, if requested by the Host, for each twenty-four (24) hour period (or any portion thereof) that you Overstay, an additional nightly fee of up to two (2) times the average nightly Listing Fee originally paid by you to cover the inconvenience suffered by the Host, plus all applicable Guest Fees, Taxes, and any legal expenses incurred by the Host to make you leave (collectively, “Overstay Fees”). Overstay Fees for late checkouts on the checkout date that do not impact upcoming bookings may be limited to the additional costs incurred by the Host as a result of such Overstay. If you Overstay at an Accommodation, you authorize Fresh Stays LLC to charge your original payment method to collect Overstay Fees. A Security Deposit, if required by a Host, may be applied to any Overstay Fees due for a Guest’s Overstay.

      2.2 Lost Access Devices: A number of our properties (not all) are on a keyless entry system. For properties that have keys/keyfobs/parking passes/garage door openers, there will be a $250 charge for each key, keyfob, parking permit, and garage door opener that is not returned.
 

3. Payment: Fresh Stays LLC requires full payment (100% of the total) to hold reservations. Fresh Stays LLC will charge the credit card on file. If payment is not received immediately, the booking can be canceled without notice. If funds are not available, the reservation can be canceled under the cancellation terms indicated below.
 

4. Property Inspections: All problems, including inadequate cleaning and damage, must be reported in writing to Fresh Stays LLC within 4 hours of check-in for prior guests to be held responsible. Fresh Stays LLC reserves the right to enter premises at any time for the purpose of effecting necessary inspections, repairs, or maintenance.
 

5. Vacation Rental Damage Protection: Your rental may come with a non-refundable Damage Waiver Protection Plan. Referred to as the “PLAN” going forward in this agreement and referred to as “Damage Waiver” on your invoice. The cost of the plan is based on the length of the reservation. The cost structure is as follows: $99 per week or any portion thereof, not to exceed $250 per 28-day period. This PLAN covers unintentional damages to the rental unit interior that occur during your stay, provided they are disclosed to management prior to check-out. The policy will pay a maximum benefit of $1500.00. Any damages that exceed $1500.00 will be charged to the credit card on file. By agreeing to this Guest Rental Agreement, you are pre-authorizing Fresh Stays LLC to charge the card on file for unintentional damages of costs exceeding $1500. If you damage the real or personal property assigned to your rental accommodation during the trip, the licensor will reimburse the lesser of the cost of repairs or the Actual Cash Value of the property, up to $1500.00. Certain terms and conditions apply. By submitting payment for this plan, you authorize and request the licensor to pay directly any amount payable under the terms and conditions of the PLAN. Lost or unreturned keys/keyfobs/garage openers/parking permits are NOT covered under the PLAN and will result in a $250 charge to the credit card we have on file according to section 2.2 noted in this agreement above.
 

6. Notification: It is Licensee’s sole responsibility to inspect the Property upon arrival. In addition to inspecting the smoke detectors, Licensee agrees to inspect the entire property to ensure that it is free of hazards and properly equipped. The licensee assumes the entire risk of injuries arising from the use of the Property. The licensee will ensure that the Property has a secure shower or bathtub mat and that the Licensee takes reasonable measures to prevent slips in the bathroom, on staircases, steps, on balconies, and throughout the Property. The licensee agrees to take a higher degree of care in the use of the Property because of the age of the structures on the Property.

​

Entire Agreement: This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties and supersedes all prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
