When you check out at the end of your stay we just ask that you clean and put away any dishes and take out all trash, other than that we will have a crew come in and clean. If you would like cleaning services during your stay, please contact our office and we will put you in touch with one of our housekeepers.

Cancellations, Substitutions & Refunds
Once you have agreed to rent a property and paid your deposit, you are binding yourself to that property for that time. Should an emergency arrive and you have to leave before your scheduled time, there will be no refund and you are still responsible for all months that you committed to. Venture Out Vacations will try to re-rent the property and if we are successful you will be refunded for those months.Venture Out Vacations reserves the right to cancel a confirmed reservation at any time prior to the Guest’s taking occupancy of the property. In the event this should occur, Venture Out Vacations will refund all monies on account.

The deposit will be refunded minus a $100.00 cancellation fee if you cancel at least ninety (90) days prior to your arrival.
Cancellations Fewer Than 90 Days Before The Date of Arrival:
If you cancel less than 90 days prior to your scheduled arrival there will be NO REFUND of any monies. If cancellation is less than 60 days you are still responsible for half of all rents, if less than 30 days you are responsible for all rents due. If we are able to re-rent the property then you will be refunded any rents minus the original deposit.
All cancellations must be made via eMail or in writing.
Substitutions:
If the property you have booked is removed from the rental program or if extraordinary circumstances render the property uninhabitable, Venture Out Vacations reserves the right to substitute a comparable property. If
