Reservations:
Fifty percent (50%) of the full rental amount is required to confirm your vacation dates. A check must be processed within ten (10) calendar days or the dates are released. The balance of the rental amount is due sixty (60) days prior to the arrival date. Should a reservation be made less than sixty (60) days prior to arrival date, the entire rental amount is required to secure the reservation. To finalize the rental, a Reservation Confirmation Agreement will be sent to the primary Renter for completion and return to Hawksview Estate prior to arrival.

Cancellation:
No deposit refund will be made for cancellation received within sixty (60) days of arrival date. However, in the event that a replacement rental is obtained for the canceled period in question, the deposit (less ten percent [10%] administrative fee) will be refunded.

Your fifty percent deposit check will be refunded to you in full should you need to cancel your vacation to the Estate sixty (60) days prior to your arrival date. Should there be a concern on your part that you may have an event that may cause you to cancel sixty (60) days or less, we strongly recommend travel insurance be obtained by the renter to cover your vacation.
