If needed the Maisons sur Mer has a full time maintenance staff for repairs. Our cleaning staff takes care of the weekly cleaning of our units.

All door locks are keyless. When your final payment is received we will ask for a 4 digit number, maybe your favorite number or something you will always remember.

Have to cancel? We will return your rental fee under two circumstances. Written notice of cancellation must be received at least 60 days before your vacation is scheduled and  we are able to fill that time with another renter. 

What if the unit we have rented is sold? 

Sometimes condos are sold. If it happens to a unit you have reserved we can offer the following options:

• If the new owner agrees to use the unit as a rental, your reservation will continue without any changes.
• If the new owner does not wish to honor the existing rentals we will do our best to help you relocate to another unit.   
• If there is a lower cost for this unit you will be refunded the difference. If the rental cost is more you will be liable for the additional cost paid to that owner.
• A full refund will be mailed to you if the above options are not satisfactory.
  

Of course we will give you as much notice as possible. 

Is there an age requirement to rent?

South Carolina Law require all renters to be at least 25 years old unless married.

What is your hurricane policy?

In the event of a mandatory hurricane evacuation, you will be fully refunded for nights not used during your vacation.
