F.A.Q.


50% of the Total Rental Fee is required to confirm your reservation, and the balance is due 60 days before arrival. The Owners and/or Property Manager reserve the right to terminate this Rental Policy and Confirmation and rent Drake’s View to other parties in the event that any payments are not made by the due date.


A $1000 Damage Deposit is required to confirm your reservation. This shall be refundable within twenty-one (21) days of the end of the Rental Period provided:

  • (a) property is not missing from Drake’s View;
  • (b) the contents and property are not damaged beyond normal wear and tear;
  • (c) keys are left upon check-out;
  • (d) there has not been a violation of the smoking or pet policies.
  • (e) there is not excessive sand in the pool or the hot tub


All cancellations will incur a 20% handling fee, which shall be due no later than thirty (30) days after the date of cancellation. No refund is given for cancellations made within sixty (60) days of your arrival date unless a replacement rental is obtained. Because of this policy, we urge you to obtain travelers cancellation insurance to prevent loss from sickness, hurricane, airline failure or other unforeseen circumstances.


The Storm Policy is applicable only to reservations booked during the months of August, September and October. No guests may stay at Drake’s View during a hurricane. If the eminent threat of a hurricane causes you to cancel your trip and you have one week (seven days) or more remaining of booked time at Drake’s View, you will receive full credit for the unused portion of the Total Rental Fee towards another available off season rental. The aforementioned credit must be booked and used within one year. If you have less than one week (less than seven days) remaining, you will receive a full, prorated refund of the unused portion of your Total Rental Fee.
