Emerald Realty and Rentals is a rental agency engaging
in the rental of private property to others. This agency reserves
the right to refuse service to anyone we feel will not be responsible
for the rental property.
The following procedures must be followed by all guests renting
any of the properties managed by Emerald Realty and Rentals:
1. Minimum age to rent any of our rental properties is twenty-five years of age.
2. We have a two night minimum in all rental properties and a three night minimum for the holiday
weekends of Martin Luther King and Presidents' holiday. It is our policy to secure a one week rental
during the Christmas/New Years holiday, then to fill in shorter stays around that week.
3. Sales tax is charged on all vacation rentals of less than 91 days. Sales tax rates vary at
6.75% or 12.75%, depending upon county or town tax rates.
4. Trip interruption insurance in the amount of 6.95% is charged on all rentals. This fee is
optional, however NO deposits will be refunded in the event of a cancellation, unless the property
can be re- booked to another renter.
5. Fifty percent of the total rental amount, plus the (optional) trip interruption insurance is
required to confirm a reservation. Deposits are due within seven days of booking a reservation, with
the balance due seven days prior to guest arrival. A refundable damage deposit of $350
(or $500 for larger homes) paid by separate check is due seven days prior to guest arrival.
Many guests choose to purchase damage insurance for $39. In the event of damages, an insurance claim
would be filed, with the $350 (or $500) damage deposit being used only if damage insurance doesn't apply.
6. Check-in time is 4:00 PM. Check-out time is 10:00AM. All early check-ins or late check-outs must
be approved by Emerald Realty and Rentals. You may incur additional fees if you have not vacated your
unit by check-out time on your departure date.
7. Linens for bed, bath and kitchen are provided with the rental.
8. Firewood is not provided with the rentals that have wood burning fireplaces. Duroflame logs are
highly recommended, rather than fire wood.

may be required to access our rental properties in Winter.
