Since 1963 Parker-Kaufman, Realtors & Insurance has managed vacation rental property on Jekyll Island.
Our web site is designed to help you in selecting a vacation cottage that will best suit your
needs.
All vacation cottages managed by Parker-Kaufman are privately owned and may vary from modest to quite plush. Rental
rates are based on location, general condition, size, number of tenants that the cottage accommodates, and the amenities
the cottage offers. We ask that you treat these properties with the care you would you own home so they will be available
for the enjoyment of yourself and others for years to come.

other homes as long as they are available.
CHECK-IN
Check-in time is 4:00 p.m.
Please do not arrive before then unless other
arrangements have been made. Please DO NOT
go to the cottage you have rented as this may interfere with
the cleaning crew. You are responsible for any damage to the property during your stay so please let us
know immediately if you detect a problem. Do not wait until check-out to let us know. You will have a
set of House Rules and a Guest Survey in your cottage. Please review the rules and fill out the survey
before leaving. We appreciate all the feedback from our tenants. If you are going to be a late arrival,
please contact our office and let us know.
CHECK-OUT
Check-out is 10:00 a.m.
Please make every effort to leave
on time so we can
get ready for the next tenants. If you have rented linens, please bundle them in a
pile next to the front door. We also ask that you sweep, clean the stove and
refrigerator, empty the trash, turn off all lights and lock doors and windows.
Please return the keys to our office. There is a key drop located on our front
door in the event our office is closed. Please remember to return the Guest Survey.

for 50% of the of the total rental within seven (7) days of of making a

will be confirmed and a confirmation will be mailed to you. The balance of the rent, services,
taxes and a reservation processing fee are due upon arrival. If
you like, you may pay your balance prior to your arrival which will
usually expedite check-in, especially during peak
seasons.

VISA, MasterCard or Discover. Personal checks will only be
accepted at check-in with a valid photo ID (i.e. Driver's License,

days prior to your arrival, we will automatically refund your deposit
less the $30.00 service charge and $10 reservation processing
fee. In the event the cancellation occurs within 180

for that time period. However, the deposit, less a $30.00 service charge and $10.00 reservation processing fee,

investigate "Trip Interruption Insurance Coverage" online or with your local insurance carrier to protect
your vacation investment.

so designated in the brochure description. In cottages where pets are permitted a $100.00 Non-Refundable Pet Fee is due upon

to this rule and allow pets year round. Please see the individual
pet friendly cottage description for more information.
NO PETS are permitted in ANY COTTAGE during the Summer
Season unless otherwise noted.
(29 May to 14 August 2010)
