This fee will pay for only minor, unintentional damages to the rental unit interior and property within the interior of the unit which might occur during your stay. Accidental damages MUST be reported to management before check-out to be considered accidental. Missing items are never considered accidental damage and will not be paid for under this fee. Items not paid for under this fee will be dealt with through conventional methods of charging the guest credit card for the amount of the damages at replacement costs. The security deposit waiver fee will not pay for any damage done to the common areas or property of The Breakers.

DAMAGE DEPOSIT:
Should you opt not to pay the $ 65.00 Security Deposit Waiver Fee, there is a refundable damage deposit of $1500.00 that will be required at time of booking. This damage deposit will also pay for any accidental damages and will be released within 30 days after your departure.
