Common Questions
Is the Peace of Mind Waiver mandatory?
Yes — the waiver replaces our previous security deposit. Rather than freezing hundreds of dollars on your credit card, you pay a flat $74.99 one-time fee and you're fully protected for up to $2,000 in eligible accidental damage.
What happens if something breaks by accident?
Simply report it to us before you check out. We'll handle the rest. As long as it falls under our covered accident categories and is within the $2,000 aggregate limit, your financial liability is waived.
Does this cover my personal belongings or injuries?
No. This waiver is specifically for accidental physical damage to the property and its furnishings. Personal belongings, bodily injury, and vehicle damage are not covered. We recommend guests carry their own travel insurance.
What if damage exceeds $2,000?
The waiver covers the first $2,000 of eligible accidental damages per reservation. Any documented costs above that threshold remain the guest's responsibility.
Is the waiver refundable?
The waiver fee is non-refundable in most circumstances. If you cancel your reservation and receive a full refund per our cancellation policy, the waiver fee is also refunded.
Does this cover intentional damage or rule violations?
Absolutely not. Intentional damage, vandalism, violations of house rules (like unauthorized parties, indoor smoking, or unauthorized pets), and gross negligence are all excluded from coverage.
