RENTAL TERMS & CONDITIONS

This Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) is made and entered on this day, between the owner of the property, hereinafter referred to as "Owner" and You, hereinafter referred to as "Tenant".

MyOceanRental Inc., hereinafter referred to as “Management Company”.

Owner hereby leases to Tenant the furnished premises described above, for a term of the specified nights being booked, beginning at 4:00 PM on arrival day and ending at 10:00 AM on the day of departure for a total cost listed online.

Tenant agrees to pay the rent herein provided subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. This lease agreement is not valid until the first payment is processed.

1. Payment Terms
50% payment is required at the time of booking. The remaining balance will be charged to the tenant's credit card on file no sooner than 60 days prior to arrival unless the reservation is made within 60 days of check-in, in which case payment is due in full. Charges will be made automatically to the Tenant’s card for open balances, so no action is needed by the Tenant unless the card used is no longer valid (expired, change in address, etc.). In such cases, it is the responsibility of the Tenant to notify the Management Company of such changes so the reservation remains valid. Tenant agrees that their monies will be held in an interest-bearing account, and any monies accrued can be partially or fully donated to a charity chosen by Management Company.

2. Cancellations and Refunds
If you book your reservation through Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, or any other third-party booking agent, your reservation is subject to the cancellation policy agreed to on their site's cancellation policy at the time of booking.

Reservations made directly through Management Company Contract for Lease terms are solely between the Owner and Tenant. Tenant fully understands that this is a relationship only between Owner and Tenant.

Cancellations made 60+ days prior to arrival receive a full refund less a 5% fee.
Cancellations made <60 days prior to arrival result in forfeiture of all payments unless the property is re-rented for the same dates at the same rate. Refunds are adjusted if re-rented at a lower rate. In the event the unit is not re-rented for the same period, there will be no refund. Refunds are inclusive of rents, deposits, taxes, and fees.
Change of reservation dates or property is considered a cancellation.

No refunds are available for inclement weather, evacuation, illness, injury, travel delays, or early departures.

We understand that unexpected things can happen. For this reason, we strongly recommend that all guests consider purchasing travel insurance to protect their vacation investment. You may purchase Standard Trip Protection or Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) coverage through our trusted partner, Rental Guardian. Important Purchase Deadlines:

Standard travel protection can be purchased up to 30 days before check-in (or by the final payment due date, whichever comes first). If booking within 30 days of check-in, you must purchase within 5 days of booking.
Cancel For Any Reason: must be purchased within 14 days of booking and only available for stays more than 30 days away.

Failure to notify Management Company of any issues during your stay will result in the forfeiture of any potential remedy or compensation and, in effect, assumes that the Tenant finds the accommodations satisfactory.

These sensors monitor decibel levels only—they do not record audio or violate privacy. If noise exceeds the legal threshold, guests will receive a friendly reminder via text message to reduce the volume. Continued violations may result in additional notifications, possible fines issued by the City, and potential eviction.

The Folly Beach NOISE ORDINANCE is enforced from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM. House parties, weddings, events, DJs, mobile units, and similar functions are strictly prohibited.

Misrepresentation of occupancy or any confirmed disturbances may result in immediate termination of this rental agreement and eviction without refund.
