The State of North Carolina and Brunswick County Health Department imposes the regulation of only two guests per bedroom where homes are served by an on-site septic system. In the unlikely event of a system failure, if the number of your party exceeds the maximum allowable occupants imposed by the Brunswick County Health Department, you could be subject to eviction or replacement to other more suitable unit(s). Overcrowding of our units is not allowed, and should this occur, you would be subject to eviction.

We appreciate our rental guests, many who have been vacationing with us for generations! Therefore, we do not require a damage deposit, but instead offer our No Worries Protection Plan, outlined below. Should you not purchase the No Worries Protection Plan, you will be required to pay a damage deposit of no less than $300.00 per reservation.

Under this plan, you will not be held responsible to pay for accidental loss or damage to the rental property resulting from yourself or others in your party up to $2,000. Please report all damages that you notice upon check-in to avoid possible loss of the No Worries Protection. If any damage should occur during your stay, notify our office immediately. Purchasing the "No Worries Plan does not relieve your responsibilities as a tenant. You will be held responsibile for obvious acts of neglect and any malicious damage and/or theft. Also, in the event check-out procedures are not followed, you may be billed. We inspect every home after each party's departure. If damage is reported after your stay, you may be billed. Please note that in some specials cases the No Worries Plan may not be offered as some homes will require the traditional Damage Deposit. This will be collected and administered as permitted under the NC Tenant Damage Deposit Act. Damage Deposits will be returned within 45 days of your departure.
