How to Make a Reservation

Browse through our website or Vacation Planner to get an idea of the kind of property or properties that will best suit your needs and which homes you find most appealing.  Once you have made a list of possibilites, reservations can be made online or please call our office and one of our Reservations Specialists will be happy to assist you in making a final selection. 

Please designate one person in your party to be responsible for all payments & correspondence regarding your reservation. After you reserve the property, we will email you a tentative acknowledgement confirming that your reservation has been made.

Making a Tentative Reservation on our Website:  For online reservations, just follow the easy instructions and the reservation system will gather the required information from you to make the tentative reservation.  Be assured that our online system is secure and your confidential information will remain safe.  Within 24 hours, we will contact you via email with instructions on how to confirm your St. George Island escape.  If requested, we will forward confirmation through the postal service.

Reserving by Phone:  Virtually the same as our online process except that one of our friendly Reservation Specialists will gather the appropriate information.  A tentative confirmation acknowledgement is sent electronically or by the postal service as requested.  Reservation Specialists are available 24 hours a day.

Confirming a Tentative Reservation:  The first task is to submit the "Guest Registration" form along with your confirmation deposit.  Additionally, if your home is located in the St. George Plantation, we also need receipt of the "St. George Plantation Rental Agreement."  Those forms can be submitted digitally or printed and mailed to us at 61 West Gulf Beach Drive, St. George Island, FL 32328.

Within 10 days of booking, reservations made in advance require 25% of the total rent due to confirm the reservation.  A second payment of 25% is due 90 days prior to arrival and the final balance is due 30 days prior to arrival. 

Accepted Forms of Payment:  We have several methods for payment:  By postal service, we accept your personal check, money order or cashier's check.  Payment can be made online with a "web check" which is a personal check submitted electronically through a secure site.  We also accept Visa, MasterCard & Discover online with a convenience fee of $30.  For more information about web checks, please visit www.affirmativeusa.com. 

Last Minute Reservations:  For last minute reservations made less than 45 days prior to arrival, full payment is due within 48 hours of booking.  The payment method is the same as described above except that payment made through the postal service must be sent via an overnight carrier.  It is required that the name of the carrier as well as the tracking number be provided within 24 hours of making a reservation.  Additionally, neither personal checks nor web checks are accepted 14 days prior to arrival.

Fees and Other Charges:  Our rates are all inclusive.  There are no additional fees charged by Resort Vacation Properties except taxes and optional selections made such as use of an elevator and pool heat as requested.  Fees for optional selections are subject to state and county taxes.

Advance Booking Specials:  Remember that by booking at least nine months in advance, you will receive a 15% discount off of the advertised rate.  Reserve six months in advance and get 10% off or take 5% off if you book three months in advance.  Monthly guests can save, too.  Book September, October, November or March at least six months in advance and take 10% off of the advertised rate.  Guests who book December, January or February at least six months in advance can take 5% off.  Look for the Advance Booking Special icon on the individual property descriptions to choose from the large selection of homes that participate in this offer.  Our Repeat Renters can take an additional 5% off.  Except for our Repeat Renter Discount, the Advance Booking Special cannot be combined with any other offer.
