Frequently Asked Questions
Booking & Cancellation

 

Q: What is the difference between FlipKey/VRBO and your site?

A: VRBO/FlipKey/HomeAway are advertising extensions of our site that we use to give our rental units the greatest amount of visibility to vacationers looking to rent seasonal homes in the Maine area. We are the property manager that manages everything from marketing to maintenance and housekeeping. You will find the same rates whether you book through our site or through these third-party sites.

 

Q: Do you have any homes without a two-night minimum stay?

A: All of our rental units have at least a two-night minimum stay. During the months of June through August all of our rental units have at least a seven-night minimum stay, from Saturday to Saturday and that should appear when searching for your dates.

 

Q: Can I book a reservation on the date that I would like to check-in?

A: We require reservations to be made at least 48 hours prior to your check-in date, this will allow us to guarantee the unit will be set up and ready for your arrival. Please note that we will not be able to confirm any reservation made less than 48 hours prior to the check-in date due to our cleaning schedules.

 

Q: Can I bring more people than the maximum allowed listed?

A: Maximum occupancy does not only refer to the number a home can sleep, this is also the number of people allowed in the home at any given time. It is determined by the licensing authority based on the number of exits in the home and fire safety evacuation plan. Please abide by the maximum occupancy number for the home at all times. (Generally, children under the age of 2 do not count toward the maximum occupancy.)

 

Q: What is the pet policy?

A: Pets are not permitted in any of our rental units. A penalty fee will be charged to your credit card if we find evidence of pets on the property.

 

Q: What is Seaglass Village’s cancellation policy?

A: Rental payments are refundable up until 30 days prior to the reservation, with the exception of 4% to account for any processing fees relative to booking/cancelling. We are unable to offer refunds on reservations cancelled within 30 days of the check-in date.

 

Q: How can I modify my reservation, and are there any fees associated with that?

A: Please call us at 1-877-341-4706 to help you modify your reservation. There could be additional fees depending on the change occurring, but we will walk you through everything before finalizing it. 

 

Q: I found a different unit than the one I booked, would I be able to modify my reservation and change it to the new unit?

A: It may be possible to switch homes as long as the change is made more than 30 days prior to the reservation. If the modification results in a higher rental rate, guests are responsible for paying the difference.

​

Q: Would I need to sign a rental contract for renting a vacation rental?

A: By booking a reservation, guests acknowledge and agree to abide by Seaglass Village’s rental policies.

 

Q: Can I get a breakdown of the total cost?

A: The rental quote includes all lodging, taxes, and fees.

A: Late check-out is not available between the months of June through August. Any late check-out during that time is subject to extra charges.

**Late check-out may be available during the off season, but ONLY if we do not have another reservation coming in that day. Please contact our on-site rental staff anytime during your stay to see if late check-out is available.
