Booking
The rental agreement is the contract between "the Host" and the person making the online booking, also referred to as “the Guest", who must be over 18 years of age and is responsible for all other guests in their rental group. No contract shall exist until the Host has received an online booking together with the correct initial payment. “The Property” is also referred to as Mickey’s Hideout or the villa in this document.
Payment Policy
The total rental cost (initial payment plus final payment) is due 14 days prior to the Guest's check-in date. For reservations made less than 14 days prior to check-in date, full payment of the total rental cost is due upon booking.
If the final payment has not been remitted by the Guest and received by the Host 14 days prior to the Guest's check-in date, then the Host reserves the right to cancel the reservation without refund of initial payment and the contract becomes null and void.
The credit card used for the initial and final payments must have an expiration date at least 2 months after the Guest’s check-out date.
The Host accepts Visa, Master Card, or American Express credit card payments.
Cancellation Policy/Refunds
Guests who cancel at least 14 days before check-in will get back 100% of the amount they've paid for their stay at Mickey’s Hideout (minus a $15 administrative fee). If cancellation is made between 7 and 14 days before check-in, 50% is refunded. Within 7 days of check-in, no refund is available. It is the Guest’s responsibility to pursue measures such as “cancel for any reason” travel insurance to protect their travel investment. It is also the responsibility of the Guest to be aware of possible travel restrictions or closures that could impede their stay. The Host is not responsible for any refunds or reimbursement beyond what is outlined in this agreement. These cancellation/refund terms apply only to direct bookings with the Host.
The Host reserves the right to cancel a reservation at any time for any reason. Upon such cancellation by the Host, the Guest is entitled to a full refund of monies already paid toward the rental.
Cancellation requests must be submitted by the Guest to the Host directly.
Early check-out, regardless of the reason does not entitle the Guest to a refund.
The Host reserves the sole right to waive payment of monies owed according to the Rental Agreement.
If through no fault of the Host, the Host is unable to provide the Guest with the property as agreed, the Host will refund the Guest for the full amount paid.
