Thank you for renting this property. We are delighted to have you visit and enjoy the greater Boothbay peninsula in mid-coast Maine!! We hope that your stay is comfortable and memorable and that you return to stay with us again and again. Please let us know how we can help to make your stay a pleasant one. The owner/manager lives on site and is available much of the time to ensure that. Please fill out the period of time for which you are renting the Farmhouse here: _________________________________.
Below are the ‘agreements’ under which we rent this property to you.

2. This is a NON SMOKING house. The other house rental on the property is also NON SMOKING.

3. Pets are not permitted in this house under any conditions. So many people are allergic that it makes it unpleasant for others to rent it after pets have visited.

4. DAMAGE/RESERVATION DEPOSIT- A damage/reservation deposit of $500 is required. This must be received with this signed contract and the 50% rental deposit, in the next seven (7) days, to ensure that your reservation is confirmed. If your rental dates are within 90 days of this contract date, the full rental amount should accompany the signed contract.  The deposit automatically converts to a security/damage deposit upon arrival. The deposit is NOT applied toward rent; however, it is fully refundable within (4) days of departure, provided the following provisions are met.
    a.  The house is left clean and tidy and no damage is done to the house, its contents or amenities, nor to the property, beyond normal wear and tear. Soiled dishes are placed in the dishwasher and cleaned.
    b. All debris, rubbish and discards are placed in black bags, in the garbage cans, as specified, with lids securely attached, and all recyclables are managed according to the

Please make payments in the form of traveler's checks, bank money orders, cashiers checks or personal checks payable to Bold Colorful Life. The advance payment is not a damage deposit. The BALANCE OF RENT is due
sixty (60) days before your arrival date.

Holiday cancellation fees may be higher. Cancellations that are made within 90 days of the arrival date forfeit the full advance payment and damage/reservation deposit. Neither early departure nor fewer actual guests nor changes that result in a shortened stay warrant any refund of rent or deposit. Travel insurance is suggested in item 17, below. For bookings made through online vacation services (Homeaway, VRBO, AirBnB,etc.), their cancellation policy will apply to your reservation, and supersede the owner's cancellation policy.
