2012 Reservations Information

To help you fit your family vacation into this year's family budget, we are offering a flexible 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 also continue to offer our Pay in Full and Traditional 2-payment plans. 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 card.

Example: if your vacation begins July 14, 2012:
- Your first installment of 25%* would be due 10 days from date of reservation.
- Your second 25% installment would be due February 10, 2012.
- Then your final installment would be due June 14, 2012 (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! 

Example: if your vacation begins July 14, 2012:
- Your first installment of 25%* would be due 10 days from date of reservation.
- Your second 25% installment would be due February 10, 2012.
- Your third 25% installment would be due April 10, 2012.
- Then your final installment would be due June 14, 2012 (30 days prior to arrival).

* If applicable, added to the first installment would be payment for credit card convenience fee, optional Accidental Rental Damage Insurance and/or Travel Insurance.

For your convenience, installment payments can be made by any method of payment: VISA/MC, electronic bank draft 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, for any of our payment plans, all separate transactions will be subject to only one credit card convenience fee of $39 (+ tax) instead of two, three or four equaling a savings of up to $117. This $39 (+ tax) fee will be collected in the 1st payment. You can save the convenience fee by electing a different payment option.

Participation Details:

To participate in our Easy Installment Payment Plan, you simply need to schedule the payments as detailed above using a Visa or MasterCard, electronic bank draft or personal check (US funds). If you choose to switch your scheduled payment method for any installment, simply call us at least 5 days prior to the payment due date and we will make the change. Scheduled payment method can only be switched by the leaseholder. The sign-up form for plan participation will be provided along with your lease.

If your 2012 vacation arrival date is prior to March then you would not have the option of the 3-payment plan. 

The final installment payment would include the processing fee, taxes and any optional fees (such as pet fee).

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 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.
