Any guest staying past 2:00pm will be charged for an additional night of rent. Late check-outs cannot be addressed until the morning of departure.

Cancellation more than 30 days prior to check-in will result in a $50 plus tax service charge and a return of the 25% deposit. Cancellations made at least 14 days to arrival will receive a 50% refund. Cancellations made less than 14 days to arrival will result in a full forfeiture of payment. We strongly encourage you to purchase CSA travel insurance to protect your vacation investment. There are no refunds for early departures.

All of the vacation rental properties are individually owned. Each property reflects the taste of each owner. PAE has made every effort to ensure property descriptions are accurate. However they are subject to errors or omissions and we cannot be held responsible for change of content and/or features, or removal by owner without notice.

One bath towel and one wash cloth will be provided for the maximum occupancy of the unit. One hand towel will be provided in each bathroom. All towels and linens provided in the unit are accounted for. Any missing, damaged, or stained beyond repair items will result in charges to the credit card on file for the stay.

Complimentary amenities will be provided in the property as a convenience until you have time to shop. These items include a sponge, bath soap, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, and trash bags. These items will not be replenished during your stay.

Do not remove anything from the property. Do not take items from one property to another. This includes bath towels provided by PAE. These towels are not to be used at the pool or the beach. Each property is inspected (with an itemized list) upon departure. Anything missing from the property will be charged to the guest’s credit card on file for the stay.

No loud music or parties at any property managed by PAE. Please respect your neighbors as you would in your own neighborhood.

Check the property carefully before leaving. PAE will not be responsible for items left in properties after check-out. Please notify us as soon as you realize you’ve forgotten something, and we will make every effort to locate and return lost and forgotten items when the property is unoccupied but there is no guarantee they will be found. If a guest leaves an item in the property and wishes to have it mailed back to them, they will be required to pay for the postage as well as a $25 service fee. Any forgotten items must be retrieved within 10 days, or they will be donated to a local charity.

All PAE properties are located on an Island and experience harsher than normal wear and tear due to the constant exposure to our environment. Maintenance issues, electrical failures, and mechanical failures are rare and unfortunate, and we regret any inconvenience that may result. However, we have no control over these situations and are not able to relocate, discount or refund guests for issues with air conditioners, elevators, dishwashers, refrigerators, washers, dryers, cable or satellite TV, internet access, electricity, DVD players, swimming pools, hot tubs, or any other appliances or amenities. Please report any inoperative equipment or concerns as they occur, and we will make every effort to resolve the problem as soon as possible.

Filling the property refrigerator with food and/or drinks will cause it to overwork and not cool properly. It is normal for the refrigerator to take up to 24 hours to cool. Adjusting the temperature setting to its highest setting will only cause the unit to freeze up. Service calls for non-cooling refrigerators will not be addressed until the following morning. Any seafood or meat must be properly wrapped when placed in the refrigerator.

We strongly recommend that guests purchase travel insurance for stays during hurricane season – June 1st through November 30th. In the event of a Mandatory Evacuation of Port Aransas, PAE will issue refunds or will move the reservation to alternative dates.
