All policies are strictly enforced. It is the responsibility of all guests and members of their party to be familiar with all policies pertaining to rental.
RENTER REQUIREMENTS
For legal and accounting purposes, the person placing the reservation must be the same as the credit/debit card holder. This person is considered to be the guest. All other persons involved with the rental are considered to be the guest’s invitees. All discussion regarding reservation, cancellation, and damage policies will be discussed with the guest, not the guest’s invitees.
DOWN PAYMENT/ PAYMENT
Outside 60 days of arrival, Deposit Payment is due to reserve property. Balance Payment is due 60 days before arrival and will be charged automatically to the same credit card used unless communicated otherwise. Within 60 Days of arrival, the total cost is due to reserve property.
DAMAGE POLICY
As a condition to the rental of all vacation properties, Aloha Kona Vacation Rentals reserves the right to charge the guest’s credit card for any and all uncovered guest/invitee-caused losses and damages sustained to the vacation property throughout the duration of their period of occupancy. In the event of any uncovered guest/invitee-caused loss or damage to the vacation property, including, but not limited to, undue cleaning, eviction, service calls, service charges, fines/assessments, repairs or replacements, plus all applicable taxes, Aloha Kona Vacation Rentals is hereby granted the right to charge the guest’s credit card. By written or electronic endorsement of this agreement, the guest hereby agrees to pay for all such charges, as defined above and on the proceeding pages.

Unless you have specifically arranged for an early arrival time, please do not arrive at the property before your scheduled check-in time.

If the cabin has not been vacated by the check-out time, a fee equal to the rental rate of one day may be assessed.
CANCELLATION POLICY
If the Reservation is canceled at least 30 or more days before the reservation check-in date, the Guest will be refunded 97% of the initial deposit amount. Cancelations of less than 30 days will result in a 100% loss of all payments. This loss can be avoided if the cancelation waiver was purchased through Rental Guardian or a Travel Insurance provider of the Guest’s choice. Aloha Kona Vacation Rentals does not issue refunds due to acts of nature such as weather, road conditions, hurricane conditions, power outages, tsunamis, lava eruptions, or brush fires.
