• Cleaning fee: charged on top of the rental, and it doesn’t earn points.
• Security deposit: some homes take one, shown on the listing or at booking. It’s collected at booking or by the property manager. A deposit taken at booking comes back 7 days after you leave if there’s no damage claim; the property manager handles refunds.
• Payment: usually half when you book and the rest before arrival, or all of it if you book close to the date.
• Cancellation: each home has a 14, 30, 60 or 90 day policy. Most let you cancel for a full refund within 48 hours of booking (24 hours in California), and bookings made within 10 days of arrival are generally non-refundable. Check the policy on the listing before you pay.
