Frequently Asked Questions about Great Ocean Condos and Homes

A. There is a $500 Reservation Payment which is required on all reservations. This is payable by a credit card upon making your reservation. The balance of your reservation is due by check as follows:

• Payment on all reservations is due 60 days prior to your arrival date.
• On all reservations of 28 days of less, payment will be due in full at this time.
• On all reservations of over 28 days, payment for the first 4 weeks rent is due 60 days prior to your arrival date with remaining balance due upon arrival.

A. Guests can elect to place a $500 Security Deposit in addition to the Reservation Down Payment upon booking the property. Release of the deposit shall be subject to inspection of the rental property and will be returned approximately fifteen days after departure provided there is no damage or additional charges.

Guests can opt for a nonrefundable Damage Waiver in lieu of a Security Deposit. If the guest rents an accommodation and the guest accidentally (definition: an unexpected and unintended event that causes property damage) damages any real or personal property, the damage waiver reimburses the private property owner or management company for up to $1,000.00. Intentional damages, and damages caused by simple or gross negligence are not covered under the damage waiver. Any accidental damage over $1,000.00 is the responsibility of the guest and the guest agrees that any amounts over $1,000.00 will be charged to their credit card.

A. Picking up your key is both simple and convenient. As you pull into your condo complex you will park in your appropriate spot (some have no assigned space- please see check-in email for specific instructions). Go straight to the unit. Enter the key-code sent to you on your Paid in Full Confirmation notice and your key will be located inside the lock box. Return that key to the lock box as there are 2 sets of keys inside the unit. There is NO lock out service provided, so the code is your lock out protection! Call us at 386-478-7863 if you should experience any problem.

A. Your cleaning fee covers two loads of linens for a two bedroom property, three loads of linens for a three bedroom property and four loads of linens for a four bedroom property. This would be a maximum of 6 bathroom towels, 6 hand towels, 6 wash cloths, 2 kitchen towels, 4 sets of twin sheets (or 1 queen or full depending on the unit configuration) and 1 set of king/queen sheets. Additional loads in excess of the above guidelines will be charged at $20 per load. Photographs will be provided to you in the event that the additional laundry charge is necessary. All beach towels should be washed and dried the night before leaving. (Heavy beach towels require a longer drying time).

A. The condo office is NOT the owner’s rental agent—GreatOceanCondos.com is. Please DO NOT CONTACT the condo office should a problem arise inside your unit. Any emergency matter should be reported to GreatOceanCondos.com at 386-478-7863 for assistance.

A. All homes and condos are privately owned and equipped for basic vacation needs. Basic starter supplies such as soap and toilet paper are usually provided by the individual owner. We will make every effort to make sure this is the case, BUT this cannot be guaranteed. To be sure, please bring a starter supply with you. Grocery stores are very close if you need to get some immediately. Telephones may be provided. Local calls are free. Use your cell phone or dial collect to place long distance calls. Some units do have an internet phone which also provides free long distance.
Maintenance problems in the home or condo will be handled in a timely and professional manner. Please let us know immediately upon arrival of any issues with the unit.
