FAILURE TO MAKE FINAL PAYMENT ON A TIMELY BASIS WILL RESULT IN THE AUTOMATIC CANCELLATION OF YOUR RESERVATION AND LOSS OF ANY DEPOSIT AND MONIES COLLECTED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT'S CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY.

There are no refunds for early departures. Upon final payment and approximately one week before the commencement date of the reservation, we will provide the address, directions & lock box combination for the rental you have reserved.  The keys to the unit will be in a combination lockbox on or near the front door. You may arrive anytime after 4:00 p.m. We maintain an answering service should you encounter any problems at arrival. However, after hours response is limited to emergencies only.

To protect against cancellations caused by certain unforeseen events, such as illness and weather, we highly recommend that Guests purchase travel insurance to assure the refund of monies paid due to the unforeseen.

Please note reservations that are for seven or more nights during holiday/peak time periods will be subject to a 60-day cancellation policy.  Reservations for stays thirty (30) nights or longer will be subject to either a 90-day or 120-day cancellation policy. Please contact a reservation specialist for more information.

Standard Policy:

Cancellations made 45 days prior to the date of arrival will receive a full refund less the $85 cancellation fee.  Cancellations falling on day 45 to day 31 before the arrival date will receive a 50% refund of the total monies due, not withstanding whether the collection of all remaining monies due has been made pursuant to the Reservation Policy, less the $85 cancellation fee.  Cancellations on or after day 30 prior to the arrival date will not receive a refund. 

For reservations that require a security deposit, said security deposit is not part of the reservation deposit to hold the rental. The security deposit is included in the balance payments due on or before day 30 prior to the arrival date. The security deposit will be refunded in full should the reservation be cancelled.

There is no refund for early departures. Collected money is non-refundable unless the rental unit becomes unfit for habitation as deemed by Management. Under no circumstances shall the Guest be able to determine if a rental unit is unfit for habitation.

You will incur an additional charge for carpet cleaning and flea spray if any evidence of a pet(s) or any type of animal is found in your unit or on the premises. Additionally, there is a $250 per animal/pet penalty for each unauthorized animal/pet that was present in the unit.

This is a NON-SMOKING unit.  Smoking is not permitted in the unit unless otherwise specified.  Anyone caught smoking on the premises, except in designated areas, may be subject to fines.

Guests staying at the Pacific Winds complex in Lincoln City, Oregon should note that only one vehicle per party is allowed to park in the garage parking located under the building.  Additional parking can be found in the north parking lot, several parking spaces located near the front entrance of the complex and along the street.  The New Pacific Winds HOA does not allow boats, trailers, RVs, etc. to park in the garage or on premises.  Boats, trailers, RVs, etc. may be parked on the street. The New Pacific Winds HOA reserves the right to remove any improperly parked vehicles, boats, trailers, RVs, etc. at the expense of the owner.

It is strongly recommended that Guests purchase travel insurance because unforeseen and unexpected events can occur before you leave or when you are away from home.

Some of our units offer hot tubs. Please observe and adhere to all rules and policies as posted at the unit regarding the safe use of the hot tub. The hot tub and surrounding patio/deck can be dangerous and maybe slippery when wet. You accept and assume all risks involved in or related to the use of the hot tub and patio/deck areas and release Keystone Vacation Rentals and the home owner from any and all liability or loss that may result in connection with the use of the hot tub. Keystone Vacation Rentals makes no guarantees related to the hot-tub and its use.  All rental charges collected by Keystone Vacation Rentals are explicitly for the rental of the property and do not encompass value added items such as hot tubs. 

Please note that due to the extreme weather at the coast and frequent power failures/surges hot tubs may need to be reset upon arrival (instructions are provided for in condos with hot tubs) and time allotted for the temperature of the water to heat to the desired setting.  Additionally, due to the frequent use of the hot tubs they sometimes do require draining before a guest’s arrival.  As a result, the temperature of the water may not be to the desired setting and time will be needed for the water to heat.

Although we cannot guarantee the operation of all appliances, utilities and equipment (e.g. air conditioning, Wi-Fi, pool equipment, hot tubs, kitchen appliances, televisions, etc.) our staff makes every reasonable effort to ensure that the equipment, utilities and appliances are in working order. Agents, authorized employees or repairmen may enter the premises for purposes connected with repair, care, or maintenance of the rental property. We will do our utmost to have any malfunction repaired in a timely manner.  However, Keystone assumes no liability for malfunctioning items and does not offer refunds for equipment, utility or appliance failure.  Please contact the office immediately if you encounter a problem.

For rentals where a security deposit is not collected or required, Guest authorizes Keystone Vacation Rentals to charge Guest's credit card in the event of any damage, theft, loss of items from the rental unit, excessive cleaning (examples of which include excessive trash disposal, excessive laundering, upholstery or carpet shampooing, etc.), and all other damages beyond normal wear and tear, whether intentional or accidental,  as determined by Management.  Guest agrees to and understands that the fore mentioned charges will occur after departure from the rental unit (delayed or amended charges) and hereby authorizes these charges as determined by Management. 

If, due to Guest’s use of the hot tub, the hot tub requires draining, there is a $25 charge (applies only to units with hot tubs).  Furniture should not be moved in any unit.  There is a $30 per hour (one hour minimum) charge to return moved furniture to its proper location.

The unit was professionally cleaned prior to arrival and the cleaning charge covers the professional cleaning at the time of departure.  Daily maid service is not included in your reservation but is available at an additional charge.  Please contact Management ahead of time to make arrangements.
Many of our rental properties are located in mixed-use neighborhoods that include both short-term guests and year round residents. Please be sure to observe all rules and regulations which are provided for in each property. All Guests, as well as Owners, are required to conform to all rules and regulations of the properties.
