Reservation

  2. By paying for the reservation you automatically confirm that you have read the general rental conditions and you automatically agree with our general rental conditions.

Payment

  1. Payment is made immediately upon booking.

Deposit

  1. The deposit is € 150.00. The deposit serves to guarantee damage and / or costs – in the broadest sense of the word – that we can suffer in the event of non-
    compliance with the obligations of the tenant as a good tenant and the person (s) accompanying the tenant.
  2. The deposit must be paid together with the payment of the rent. In case the deposit is not paid, we are entitled to deny the tenant access to the holiday home. If you fail to pay the deposit, we are also entitled to terminate the agreement with immediate effect.
  3. The deposit or any remainder will be refunded to the tenant within 7 days after departure after settlement of claims (damage to inventory / holiday home and / or other costs). Any (further) claims for compensation will not be nullified by this refund.

This code may not be transferred. The tenant is never entitled to keep or duplicate the key for any reason. If the tenant does, the tenant will owe a fine of €500, without prejudice to the actual costs. The key to the holiday home is made available to the tenant by us on loan. The key remains our property. In the event of loss, theft or any other form of loss of the key, the tenant owes an amount of € 100.
  2. All costs that arise because you do not deliver the house on time, will be recovered from you. We will keep goods found after your departure for you for a reasonable period of time, but we do not take any responsibility for this. These goods can be sent to you at your expense.
  3. When the tenant and / or other users have locked themselves out from the Beachhouse Blue Zone holiday home, € 25.00 will be charged. This will be deducted from the refund of the deposit. As a check, we ask the tenant to identify himself before the copy key is handed over.
  4. If you lose the parking pass, you will be charged € 50.00 (or it will deducted from the deposit).
