TRAVEL INSURANCE: Travel Insurance is optional but strongly recommended as it is designed to mitigate unforeseen risks which might otherwise result in the loss of your rental deposits. If you elect not to add travel insurance, you will risk losing all or a portion of your rental payments in the event of an unforeseen cancellation.  Although travel Insurance is often quoted by Garden City Realty’s staff or displayed online during the check-out process, it is NOT added to the reservation unless explicit permission to do so has been provided. You may add Travel Insurance until 30 days before your arrival or when making your final payment, whichever comes first. If the policy premium is received within 21 days of the initial rental deposit, and you are not disabled from travel when you pay the plan cost, the Pre-Existing Condition exclusion will be waived. For reservations booked more than 30 days before arrival, the coverage may be canceled within 14 days of confirming a reservation or adding it to an existing reservation for a full refund of the premium paid. Any questions regarding travel insurance coverage should be directed to Red Sky Travel Insurance at 1-866-889-7409 or by visiting their website at https://trippreserver.com/sun-trip-preserver/.

You must contact our office with any updates to the travel insurance status by phone (843) 651-2121. 

** If you elect to decline travel insurance coverage (which Garden City Realty advises against), you will be subject to Garden City Realty’s standard cancellation policy, which could put Renter at risk to lose reservation/rental payments. 

RESERVATIONS ARE NONREFUNDABLE. If a reservation is canceled and Garden City Realty is able to re-rent the same property covering the same date range for the total dollar amount of your original reservation, Garden City Realty will provide an 80% refund of your reservation payment. If Garden City Realty is able to re-rent the same property covering the same date range for a lesser total dollar amount than your reservation, the difference will be withheld from your reservation payment, in addition to the 20% cancellation fee.  All refunds are subject to Garden City Realty’s discretion. No refunds will be issued unless and until after the property is re-rented and those monies are received. A request to change the reserved property to a different property will be considered the same as a cancellation, and any potential refunds will be subject to these provisions herein.   

DISCLAIMER (Travel Insurance): Garden City Realty is not an insurance broker. Although purchasing travel insurance is not required in purchasing any other product or service Garden City Realty offers, it is highly recommended. However, Garden City Realty is not licensed to sell insurance and, therefore, is not qualified or authorized to provide advice about insurance, answer technical questions, or evaluate the adequacy of your existing insurance coverage.

The insurance coverage may duplicate existing insurance policies that you may have. You can compare the terms of this policy with your existing life, health, home, rental, automobile policies, and other sources of protection. If you have any questions about your current coverage, please call your insurer or insurance agent. FOR MARYLAND RESIDENTS: Your travel insurance is primary to other duplicate or similar coverages.

The Limited Lines Travel Insurance Producer for this travel insurance policy is Arch Insurance Solutions, Inc., located in Hunt Valley, MD, and the carrier of this travel insurance is Arch Insurance Company, whose administrative offices are located in New Jersey. In the event that you have any questions about travel insurance, please contact this company directly.

Garden City Realty hereby enters into a binding contractual agreement with the undersigned Renter. By signing this agreement, all parties agree and accept to be bound by these terms.

Our office is located at 608 Atlantic Ave., Garden City Beach, SC 29576


1. LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES: Aside from normal wear and tear, Renter will be held responsible for damages to the property or its contents during your vacation residency. Should damages occur during your stay, Garden City Realty is granted the right to charge your credit card or bank account on file.

2. WAIVER OF SECURITY DEPOSIT: Instead of a refundable cash security deposit, there is a nonrefundable waiver of security deposit charged for each property. This fee covers up to $1,000 of any non-negligent property damages reported during your stay. The payment does not cover any damages resulting from violating this agreement.

3. FAMILIES ONLY: Vacation rentals are intended for family accommodations only. Garden City Realty does not rent to house parties and strictly prohibits using properties to host events or parties, including weddings and rehearsals. Garden City Realty considers a house party to be (but not limited to) chaperoned or unchaperoned church, college, high school, middle school, or similar groups of young adults, whether or not they are related. Any misrepresentation on the part of the guest in this area will render this contract null and void, and the guest will forfeit all monies.

A MasterCard, Visa, Discover, or American Express card may be required to be on file for your reservation.
