MAKING A RESERVATION

What is required to make a reservation?

When you find the vacation home of your choice, you can either reserve the property online or speak with a member of our Reservations Team by calling 888.264.2689. When making your reservation, all we require is a 20% non-refundable deposit, which is applied to your rental cost. The remaining balance or the final payment is processed 60 days prior to check-in and is non-refundable at that point.

When is my final payment due?

Final payment is processed 60 days prior to check-in. Please note if the final payment falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a holiday it will be charged the last business day prior to your final payment date.

Does the total include all taxes and fees?

Yes, the total includes taxes and any applicable cleaning, processing, and/or property protection fees.

Is the home, townhome, or condo I see online the one I get?

Yes, we rent the specific property you see in full detail on our website. In the unlikely event that the property you reserved becomes unavailable, every attempt will be made to move your reservation to a comparable property.

Can I combine offers/discounts? Are there any blackout dates?

Only one discount, offer, or special can be applied to each reservation unless otherwise specified. Offers are not valid the week of a holiday unless otherwise specified. Holiday dates apply to the weeks and the days surrounding New Year's, Easter, and Christmas.

When is check-in and check-out time?

Since we want to ensure everything is ready for your arrival, you will have access to your home starting at 4pm. To ensure that everything is pleasant and enjoyable for guests arriving after your departure, we ask that you please depart the property before the indicated time on your reservation. If you'd like to request an early check-in or late check-out, please contact our Reservations Team for availability and more information.

Do you offer travel insurance?

Yes, travel insurance is available. Travel insurance must be purchased prior to your 60-day final payment. Atlas recommends guests purchase trip insurance if you are concerned about possible interruption or cancellation. Trip insurance payment is taken at the time the reservation is processed.

What is the fee for Property Protection?

There is a fee for Property Protection and Processing that is applied to each reservation. Property Protection provides a damage waiver that covers accidental or inadvertent damages. The value of damage waived is based on the property size and location. Please be advised that intentional damage or gross negligence will result in additional costs. Refer to the complete terms and conditions outlined on the website for the home you are considering for more information. Processing is included to cover Atlas's administrative costs for the reservation. If you make a change to your reservation, there will be an additional non-refundable fee of $20, which will be charged at the time of the change. No changes can be made within 60 days of your arrival.
