Cancellation Policies

Reservation Payment & Cancellation Policy

Life In Paradise Vacation Rentals accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. To secure your reservation, we require 25% of the total reservation to be paid at the time of booking. This is an initial payment toward the reservation, not a refundable deposit. The remaining balance will be due 30 days before arrival. Reservations made 30 days or less before arrival will require payment in full for final confirmation.

Upon booking, you will receive an email with the rental agreement that must be completed and signed for you to check in and secure your reservation.

Important notes:

  • Bookings through alternate websites may have different payment and cancellation policies. Please check with the website where you booked for their policy.
  • You must inform us at least 31 days before arrival if you plan to use an alternate payment source. Otherwise, your final payment will be charged to the card used to book your stay.
  • Life In Paradise has a strict 25 years or older rental policy and reserves the right to cancel any booking where this policy is violated. If you attempt to check in and are found to be under 25, access to the property will not be granted and no refunds will be considered.

Cancellation Policy

Cancellations are effective on the date written notice is received by email or notification to our office. If a refund is applicable, refund payment will be processed within two weeks of cancellation notice and will be in the form of a US Check or refund to a credit card account.

Cancellation fees:

  • Cancellations made 31 days or more before the arrival date will result in a $75 cancellation fee. (Does not apply to VRBO bookings or cancellations made within 48 hours from the time of booking.)
  • Cancellations made 30 days or less before the arrival date will result in the forfeit of the reservation total paid, unless you request the special cancellation program (see below).

Trip insurance: We offer trip insurance for those who would like to protect their trip from unforeseen circumstances that require cancellation. Click here for details.

Special Cancellation Program

If you must cancel within 30 days of arrival, you can request our special cancellation policy. We will refund all taxes and fees immediately upon request and open the calendar for someone else to book the property. If the property rebooks, you will be refunded the remaining rental amount. Please note that if the property rebooks at a lower rate, you will be refunded the lower amount. You will be required to monitor the property calendar before your original stay date to confirm if the property rebooks.

Long-Term & Winter Texan Reservations (30 Days or Longer)

To secure your reservation, we require a $500 hold deposit to be paid at the time of booking. Your reservation will be divided into multiple bookings of 30 days to allow you to pay monthly for your stay. The full balance of the first month is due upon arrival. The housekeeping fee (and resort fee if applicable) will be added to the final month of the reservation.

Guests staying 2 months or more will be given the first option to re-book their property for the following year. We require this commitment to be made before February 1st of the current calendar year. Reservations totaling 45 days or less will not be able to re-book their property for the following year until after February 1st of the current calendar year.

Disclaimer: Long-term and Winter Texan reservations cannot be made online. Please call for pricing and booking. Re-booking policy is subject to change based on final decision by property owner. Any bookings made are subject to price change per policies.

Cancellation fees for long-term reservations:

  • Cancellations made 90 days or more before your arrival date: your $500 deposit will be returned.
  • Cancellations made within 90 days before your arrival date: your $500 deposit will be forfeited.
