2010 Family Vacation Assistance

2010 Easy Payment Installment Plans

Choose from our 3-payment plan or our 4-payment plan. We're flexible!

To help you fit your family vacation into your budget, we are offering a 3-payment plan and a 4-payment plan providing you a choice of how you prefer to spread your payments over time and make your budgeting easier. We're flexible so you can choose the plan that best fits your needs.

With either of our Easy Payment Installment Plans, you won't need to worry about making a big payment all at once or experience the hassle of having to make a payment every month.

3-Payment Plan: The benefit of this plan is that half of your entire payment is not due until 30 days before your vacation begins! That gives you plenty of time to save up and avoid additional interest costs on your credit cards. Two payments of 25%* would be due 10 days from today and May 1st. The balance will be due in our office 30 days prior to your arrival date. If your 2010 vacation arrival date is prior to June 12th then you would not have the option of the 3-payment plan.

Example: if your vacation begins August 10, 2010:
- You only have one installment of 25%* due 10 days from today.
- Then you have until May 1st before the second installment of 25% is due.
- Your final installment would be due July 11 – 30 days prior to arrival.

4-Payment Plan: The benefit of this plan is that you have 4 equal payments of 25%* to make budgeting easier. Still, a quarter of your payment is not due until 30 days before your vacation begins! Three payments of 25%* would be due 10 days from today, May 1st and June 1st. The balance will be due in our office 30 days prior to your arrival date. If your 2010 vacation arrival date is prior to July 31st then you would not have the option of the 4-payment plan.  

Example: if your vacation begins August 10, 2010:
- You only have one installment of 25%* due 10 days from today.
- Then you have until May 1st before the second installment of 25% is due and the third installment of 25% would be due June 1st.
- Your final installment would be due July 11 - 30 days prior to arrival.

* If elected, added to the initial payment would be payment for optional accidental rental damage insurance and/or travel insurance.

For your convenience, installment payments can be made by any method of payment: VISA/MC, automatic bank draft, e-check or personal check (US funds). Choose one method for all payments or combine methods. We're flexible.

For additional savings, if you opt to pay by credit card, all 3 or 4 separate transactions will be subject to only one credit card convenience fee of $30 instead of three or four, a savings of up to $90. This $30 fee will not be collected until the second payment (May 1st). You can save the convenience fee by electing a different payment option.

Participation Details:

To participate in our Easy Installment Payment Plans, you simply need to schedule the payments using automatic bank draft, electronic check, Visa or MasterCard, or you may choose to mail us a check or money order (US funds). If you choose to switch your scheduled payment method for any installment, simply call us at least 5 business days prior to the payment due date and we will make the change. If you opt to pay by credit card, all charged transactions will be subject to only one credit card convenience fee of $30. This $30 fee will not be collected until the second installment payment. You can save the convenience fee by electing a different payment option.

If your 2010 vacation arrival date is prior to July 31st then you would not have the option of the 4-payment plan. If your 2010 vacation arrival date is prior to June 12th then you would not have the option of the 3-payment or 4-payment plan.

You may pre-reserve the home of your choice for next year up to 51 weeks in advance. Surf or Sound Realty gives this year's guest first priority for the same home/same week next year. However, we must be notified by end of business day on the first Thursday of your stay. After which, the home will be released for advance reservation to other guests. Advance reservations are conditional upon your selected time period being made available by the owner.
