We accept personal checks, bank money orders and credit cards. When paying by credit card, your card will be charged the date your reservation is made or the next business day if booking on-line. By accepting the reservation and making payment by credit card, you are hereby agreeing to the credit card charge, making it legal and binding and a signature is no longer needed. If booking a reservation within 14 days prior to arrival, you may be required to provide a valid government-issued photo I.D. matching the credit card on file. No checks or money orders will be accepted for any reservations made within 14 days of arrival. A $40 charge will be added on all returned checks.

Cancellation Policy Any reservations cancelled prior to 30 days before arrival will receive 100% refund of all funds on deposit. Any reservations cancelled between 29 days and 15 days prior to arrival will receive a 50% refund of the Total Booking Charges. You may also choose to reschedule your reservation during this time frame. Reservations may be rescheduled one time in the same property with the same calendar year. If you fail to contact Sunset Nightly Rentals to reschedule your reservation, you will forfeit all Booking Charges. You are responsible for any additional charges should the rental rates change. No refunds will be made for decreases in rental rates. Any reservations cancelled 14 days prior to arrival or less will forfeit all Booking Charges unless the property can be re-rented for the dates originally booked.
