Seapointe Realty – Terms & Conditions for Rental Guests

Last Updated: September 22, 2026

Welcome to Seapointe Realty. These Terms & Conditions govern all reservations and stays in properties managed by Seapointe Realty, LLC (“SVR,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). By booking a reservation, you agree to the following terms.

For additional stay information, visit our Guest Information & Rental Policies page.

1. Reservations & Payment Terms

Seapointe Village Realty is committed to transparent pricing. All applicable charges are itemized before you confirm and submit your reservation.

Reservation Fees and Charges

Reservation Processing Fee: $150

A non-refundable processing fee is charged at the time of booking. This fee remains non-refundable if the reservation is canceled.

Checkout Cleaning Fee

Cleaning fees vary according to the size of the residence and length of stay. This fee covers the professional turnover cleaning and preparation of the residence.

New Jersey Sales Tax

New Jersey Sales Tax is applied to the checkout cleaning fee. It is not applied to the rental rate.

Damage Waiver: $99

A non-refundable damage waiver is included with each reservation and provides limited protection for qualifying accidental damage during your stay. It does not cover negligent, intentional, or excessive damage. The fee remains non-refundable if the reservation is canceled.

Association Lease Fees

Association lease fees vary by building or condominium association and may differ between in-season and off-season stays. These charges are established by the applicable association.

Payment Processing Fee: 2.5%

Payments made by credit card or digital wallet, including PayPal and Venmo, are subject to a 2.5% processing fee. The fee applies to each payment made using one of these methods, including deposits, final payments, and ancillary charges.

Avoid the processing fee: Select e-Check (ACH) when making your payment. There is no processing fee for e-Check payments.

Payment Schedule

Due When the Reservation Is Booked

  • 50% of the rental rate
  • $150 non-refundable reservation processing fee
  • $99 non-refundable damage waiver
  • Any applicable 2.5% processing fee when paying by credit card or digital wallet

Final Payment: Due 45 Days Before Arrival

  • Remaining 50% of the rental rate
  • Checkout cleaning fee
  • Sales tax applied to the checkout cleaning fee
  • Applicable association lease fees
  • Any applicable 2.5% processing fee when paying by credit card or digital wallet

Important: Reservations that are not paid in full by the final-payment deadline may be subject to cancellation in accordance with the rental agreement.

2. Damage Waiver & Guest Responsibilities

The Damage Waiver provides limited protection for qualifying accidental, guest-caused damage to the rental residence during your contracted stay. It replaces the traditional refundable security deposit and is subject to all applicable terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions.

Accidental-Damage Limit: Up to $10,000

Qualifying accidental damage may be waived up to the program limit, eliminating the need to provide a refundable security deposit or wait for deposited funds to be returned after your stay.

Examples of Qualifying Accidental Damage

Subject to the program terms, examples may include:

  • Accidental carpet or upholstery spills
  • Minor accidental furniture damage
  • Broken lamps or household items
  • Accidentally torn window or door screens
  • Similar unintentional damage occurring during the contracted stay

All incidents are reviewed individually. The examples above do not guarantee that a particular incident will qualify under the Damage Waiver.

What Is Not Included

The Damage Waiver does not apply to:

  • Intentional, negligent, reckless, or excessive damage
  • Theft or damage caused by illegal activity
  • Excessive cleaning or extraordinary housekeeping charges
  • Routine maintenance, normal wear and tear, or pre-existing conditions
  • Weather-related damage, natural disasters, or event-related damage
  • Pet-related damage in a residence that is not designated as pet-friendly
  • Damage or losses occurring outside the contracted rental period
  • Damage or losses exceeding the applicable program limit

Lost or Unreturned Items

The Damage Waiver does not cover the loss, damage, or non-return of items issued for guest use, including:

  • Pool or beach wristbands and tags
  • Parking passes
  • Residence keys
  • Gate cards
  • Garage and electronic remotes
  • Other access devices or materials provided during check-in

The Damage Waiver is not travel insurance. It does not reimburse guests for trip cancellation, trip interruption, transportation expenses, baggage losses, medical expenses, or other travel-related losses.

Program Fee

The Damage Waiver is included with each reservation for a non-refundable fee of $99, charged at the time of booking. The fee remains non-refundable if the reservation is canceled.

Guest Responsibilities

Guests remain financially responsible for damage, missing property, replacement costs, or other losses that do not qualify under the Damage Waiver or exceed its applicable limit.

To remain eligible for consideration under the program, guests must:

  • Report accidental damage to Seapointe Village Realty as soon as it occurs
  • Provide accurate information about the incident
  • Cooperate with reasonable requests to inspect or document the damage
  • Take reasonable steps to prevent further damage
  • Notify local authorities if theft is reported
  • Return all keys, passes, wristbands, remotes, and other items issued for guest use

Important: Failure to promptly report damage or return items issued for guest use may result in repair, replacement, or related charges being billed directly to the guest.

The rental agreement and Damage Waiver program terms govern eligibility and take precedence over this general summary.

3. Travel Protection Options

Travel Protection at a Glance

  • Standard plan: 7% of the total reservation invoice
  • Plan with CFAR: 10.8% of the total reservation invoice
  • CFAR may reimburse up to 60% of eligible prepaid, non-refundable costs
  • Time-sensitive benefits may require purchase within 14 days of the initial trip payment
  • Travel protection cannot be purchased after your trip begins

Unexpected circumstances can affect even the best-planned vacation. Seapointe Village Realty has partnered with RentalGuardian and InsureStays to make optional travel protection available to guests.

Coverage may provide benefits for certain events such as trip cancellation, trip interruption, travel delay, sickness, accidental injury, severe weather, lost or damaged baggage, and other reasons specified in the policy.

Standard Travel Insurance

The standard plan may reimburse up to the applicable policy limits when a trip is canceled or interrupted for a covered reason. Covered events, benefits, exclusions, and documentation requirements are defined by the issued policy.

Cancel for Any Reason

Eligible guests may purchase optional Cancel for Any Reason coverage, commonly called CFAR. This benefit may reimburse up to 60% of eligible prepaid, non-refundable reservation costs when cancellation is for a reason not covered by the standard plan.

Important CFAR Deadlines

  • CFAR must be purchased within 14 days of the initial trip payment.
  • The trip must begin more than 30 days after CFAR is purchased.
  • Availability and eligibility vary by state and plan.

Cost of Coverage

  • Standard plan: 7% of the total reservation invoice
  • Standard plan with CFAR: 10.8% of the total reservation invoice

The premium is due in full when coverage is purchased. Any right to cancel coverage and receive a premium refund is governed by the policy’s review period and applicable terms.

When to Purchase Coverage

Purchasing coverage shortly after booking provides access to the broadest range of available benefits. Certain time-sensitive benefits, including CFAR and some pre-existing medical condition waivers, may require purchase within 14 days of the initial trip payment.

The standard plan is generally available until 30 days before the trip. For reservations made within 30 days of arrival, standard coverage may be available if purchased within five days of the initial reservation payment. Coverage cannot be purchased after departure.

Claims

Travel insurance generally operates on a reimbursement basis. Guests should retain all relevant receipts, invoices, medical records, rental documents, proof of delays, and police reports.

Claims are filed directly with the plan’s claims administrator. For assistance, contact RentalGuardian at 833-610-0736 .

Review the available plans, eligibility requirements, exclusions, and sample Certificate of Insurance before purchasing coverage.

Review Travel Protection Plans  ↗

If you decline coverage: Any refund remains subject to Seapointe Village Realty’s Rental Agreement and Cancellation Policy. Prepaid reservation amounts may therefore be at risk.

This is a general summary, not an insurance policy. The issued policy and coverage documents control all benefits, eligibility requirements, exclusions, limitations, and claims. Seapointe Village Realty staff cannot interpret coverage or determine whether a claim will be approved.
