Thank you for your business.  We are excited to welcome you to the only official vacation rental of Kingwood Resort & Winery and we hope you enjoy your stay!

RESERVATION TERMS

With Kingwood Resort Vacation Rental Units, you get to select the unit of your choice based on your vacation preferences.  We feel this is the best way to ensure your complete satisfaction with the unit.  While we will always try to keep guests in the specific unit they have requested and booked, sometimes circumstances beyond our control may require us to move bookings to another Kingwood Resort Vacation Rental Units.  In the rare instance that this should occur, we will always endeavor to ensure that the reservation is moved to a unit of similar quality than the home originally reserved and will make every attempt to communicate this change to the guest at the earliest possible opportunity prior to arrival

The person booking the reservation is considered the guest.  The guest must be at least 25 years of age to reserve the home and must occupy the rental property for the entire duration of the stay.  The name on all documents must match; name of guest on Vacation Rental Agreement, name on credit/debit card provided for payment, name on government issued photo ID.

The guest must sign the Vacation Rental Agreement to confirm the reservation.  Failure to sign this contract will result in cancellation of the reservation and may incur cancellation penalties as outlined in our cancellation policy.

The vacation rental unit is not to be used to host large parties or events.  Any guest having a large party or event or any action that may be deemed or interpreted as intent to have an event or party, will be required to vacate the premises without a refund.  Additionally, if it is discovered upcoming guests are hosting a party or event gathering in the vacation rental unit, Kingwood Resort reserves the right to cancel the reservation prior to the guest's stay, with recompense at Kingwood Resort's judgement.

Drug use in or near the vacation rental unit or resort property is strictly prohibited.  Guests are not allowed to use the property for any immoral or unlawful purposes.  Any guest who violates any law or ordinance will immediately terminate occupancy without a refund.

The property is located in a residential neighborhood.  Excessive noise at a level that disturbs the neighbors is prohibited.  Kingwood Resort and Winery has a noise ordinance of 10:00 PM each evening.  After 10:00 PM, noise must be kept to a minimum.  Guests who do not comply and disrupt the peace after 10:00 PM will be required to vacate the property without refund and are responsible for any fines resulting from a violation of the noise ordinance. 

The vacation rental unit will be inspected prior to arrival to ensure that the property is clean and in good repair.  If there are concerns or issues with the rental property, please immediately contact our front desk (leave a message if there is no answer).  The registered guest must notify Kingwood Resort within 4 hours of arrival if there is any preexisting damage or notable conditions in the rental property.  The guest is responsible for the cost of any damages sustained to the property, decor, or its contents during the stay, including the moving of items to another property, breakage or excess cleaning charges.  No refunds or considerations will be given unless we are notified of problems during your stay.

There is no daily housekeeping service, unless arranged in advance with Kingwood Resort for an additional fee.

Due to security reasons, software or files may not be downloaded by guests on any in-home computer, tv, gaming system or tablet.

In the event of a rental property becoming unavailable through unforeseen damage or circumstances beyond the company’s control, Kingwood Resort will seek to offer alternative accommodation.  In the event alternative accommodations cannot be secured or are unacceptable to the guest, the company will refund all monies paid to the company.  This will be the full extent of the company’s liability to the guest and the company will not be responsible for any other costs connected with any such cancellation.

Please note, no refunds will be given for late arrivals, early departures or unused days during your reservation.

MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY

By state law, occupancy may not exceed what is posted for each rental property.  Infants under 2 years old will not count in the maximum occupancy.  Non-compliant guests will be required to check out early with no refund.

 ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE

AIR CONDITIONING 

Air conditioning in any vacation rental unit should not be set below 72 degrees Fahrenheit (22 degrees Celsius) by the guest.  Setting the thermostat to a lower temperature will not cool the property quicker.  Setting the temperature below 72 degrees Fahrenheit may result in the system freezing up.  If this occurs the air conditioning will have to be turned off to allow the unit to defrost.  The guest will have no air conditioning during this time and will be responsible for the technician's call-out charges.  If the windows have condensation that is a definite sign the air conditioning temperature is set too low and there is a risk of freezing the air conditioning unit.  Please keep windows and doors closed when not in use. 

SECURITY AND SAFETY RISKS

Guests shall comply with all laws and rules affecting the vacation rental property and resort amenities.  Fireworks, open flames, candles and inherently dangerous activities are prohibited.

When you rent the vacation rental unit, you assume responsibility for it and its contents, as well as your personal property.  Always lock the doors and windows when you leave the vacation unit.  Kingwood Resort does not accept liability for lost or stolen personal property of the guest during the rental period.

It is the guest's responsibility to supervise children at all times.  

Report chirping alarms, as they indicate low batteries in safety devices.


Georgia wildlife may pose a danger.  Approach all outdoor areas with caution.  Never feed or approach wildlife.  

Kingwood Resort does not assume any responsibility for injuries resulting from your failure to use due caution.  Children must be supervised at all times.
