Rental Agreement
This Rental Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made by and between LuxuryBeachGetaway.com LLC, a New York limited liability company (“Property Manager”), acting in its capacity as an agent for the Owner (defined below), and the renters(s) indicated above (“Guest”) and is effective as of the Booking Date listed above. The parties agree as follows:
- Rental. Property Manager, as an agent of the owner (the “Owner”) of the property identified above (the “Property”) hereby rents to the Guest, and the Guest hereby rents from the Property Manager, the Property on the terms contained in this Agreement. The Property Manager is not the Owner and Property Manager shall not be personally liable as a party in a civil action between Guest and the Owner solely because the Owner is not identified in this Agreement.
For bookings made within 3 days of arrival, we require a copy of your driver’s license. Check-in instructions will only be sent once we receive both the signed rental agreement and the driver’s license. - Charges and Fees. Guest shall pay the charges listed above on the dates specified above. If the amounts listed above are not paid when due, then Property Manager may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Guest.
Checkouts 1-2 hours late will result in a $300 penalty. Beyond 2 hours, full days rate. Guests with unauthorized check-out penalties must still vacate on the check-out date unless otherwise agreed with the Host. If you believe you cannot depart on time, please contact the Property Manager in advance to discuss options.

- Damages. Guest will be responsible for any damages to the Property occurring during the Rental Period. If the Property is already damaged at the beginning of the Rental Period, then the Guest shall inform the Property Manager of such damage within two (2) hours of arrival.

Guest shall keep all pipes, wires, glass, plumbing and all other equipment and fixtures in the same condition as they were at the beginning of the Rental Period, other than reasonable wear and tear.

- Limitations on Property Use. Guest warrants that the information shown on the first page of this Agreement is accurate. Guest acknowledges that Owner’s willingness to rent the Property at the Rent shown on the first page is conditioned on the maximum number of people in Guest’s party and on the nature of the reservation, as shown on the first page of this Agreement, and agrees to only use the Property for such purpose and to limit its party to such maximum number. If the Property Manager discovers a breach of this obligation, then Property Manager may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available at law or under this Agreement, charge the guest a fee of $10,000 for damages, costs, fees and expenses likely to be incurred by Owner as a result of such breach.
- Breach by Guest. If Guest materially breaches this Agreement or fails to perform any obligation imposed on Guest by law, then Property Manager may, in addition to any other rights or remedies provided by law or this Agreement, and with or without notice to Guest, terminate this Rental Agreement without refund.

If any legal action to remove Guest is required, then Property Management shall be entitled to recover from Guest (in addition to other amounts that may be due) any legal or attorneys fees.

Property Manager shall comply with all obligations imposed by law with respect to the Property, including (but not limited to) providing the Property in a fit and habitable condition.

The Property Manager shall conduct all activities in regard to this Agreement or the Property without respect to the race, color religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, disability status, familial status or gender identity of any person.
- Utility Fee. The daily utility fee, as listed on the reservation, is designed to encompass the standard utility expenses for the property, specifically electricity and the gas/oil bill, along with amenities like hot-tub heating (if applicable), and heating/cooling, and is non-refundable. In the event that the average daily utility usage surpasses this predetermined amount, the guest will be responsible for covering any additional utility costs incurred. For stays of 21 days or more, the Utility Fee will be calculated based on the actual duration of the guest’s stay, with any accrued utility fees being added accordingly. This adjustment ensures a fair and accurate reflection of utility consumption during extended stays.

If the Guest does not pay the Initial Booking Fee on the Booking Date specified above (or within any grace period provided by the Property Manager), the Property Manager may terminate this Agreement without any liability to the Guest. In the event of Guest cancellation after payment of the Initial Booking Fee and/or the Final Balance as specified above, the following refund policy applies: guests canceling at least 30 days prior to arrival will receive a full refund, while those canceling at least 14 days prior to arrival will receive a 50% refund.
