Guest Services will reach out to each guest the day of arrival to walk them through the check-in procedure. Check-in is no earlier than 4 PM.

DEPOSITS AND CANCELLATIONS

A one-nights deposit is taken the day of booking, and the remaining balance is charged the day of arrival. Guests must cancel at least 3 days prior to arrival to receive the one-nights deposit back. Any cancellations made within the 3-day window must forfeit the deposit. Deposits are non-transferrable. 

CLEANING POLICY

Daily housekeeping service will not be available during your stay. Additional cleaning can be scheduled for an extra charge. Upon request, we are happy to provide new or additional bath towels. Please call our office at 912-638-8661 and we will promptly have them delivered outside your door.

Prior to your departure, please make sure dishes are clean, trash has been disposed of in the trash cans provided in the parking garage, and floors have been swept of any excess sand. We want our visitors to enjoy the beach, however, please do your part in helping us keep the rooms clean and sand free. There is a hose on the walkway and a shower in the pool area to rinse off any sand before returning to your villa. An extra fee of $150 will be applied to rooms that require an extensive cleaning.

We allow one car per room, as we have a limited number of spots. One parking pass per room will be provided upon check-in. Any additional cars will have to park in public parking spots. Absolutely no trailers are permitted to be parked on Sea Gate property.

We are happy to be a dog-friendly property. We allow one dog in the unit, with a weight limit of 60 lbs. Guest Services must be aware of any dogs accompanying travelers. There is a one-time, nonrefundable pet fee of $125. Dogs are always to be supervised and leashed while on property. You are responsible for any damages caused by your dog and will be charged accordingly. Dogs must be approved prior to arrival. If there are any signs of an unapproved pet in the room after departure, there will be a $250 charge.
