PROPERTY MANAGER: HALLER COASTAL HOMES
RESPONSIBLE PARTIES: Minimum age to rent varies by property based on insurance carrier. Reservations made under false pretenses will result in immediate cancellation of the rental, forfeiture of all payments, and guests will be asked to vacate the rental property immediately. Guests are not allowed to organize events (reunions, weddings, receptions, graduations, or other similar events) on/in the property. Guest acknowledge that he/she will occupy the property for the lease period and will not permit anyone else to occupy any portion of the property during the lease period. Guest agrees that the premises shall not be used for any illegal or unlawful purpose. Occupancy and use of the premises and common areas in a manner that disturbs or offends other guests/residents shall be deemed grounds for cancellation of the rental agreement. Haller Coastal Homes/Owner does not allow house parties in any rental property.
GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICY: Our city has a VERY strict NO party, NO social gatherings policy in effect for all vacation rentals in residential zones. Occupant may not host parties on the premises or invite guests to the premises with the intention of having a party or social gathering that would disturb neighbors, owners or occupants in adjacent rental properties. Quiet time for guests is from 10:00pm-8:00am. Gathering on outdoor patios or loud indoor gatherings past 10:00pm that disturbs neighboring properties is not permitted at any time. Some properties located in residential neighborhoods may/may not have decibel measuring devices located outdoors to stay in compliance with city noise ordinances. If the property you are staying at has this decibel meter, guests will be alerted via text and email if noise is too loud after 10:00pm and before 8:00am. These are not listening devices, do not record conversations and are only installed to make sure the Good Neighbor Policy is strictly adhered to and property is in compliance with the city’s noise ordinance.
RATES: Rates are quoted on a per night, per week or per month basis as noted. Rates vary based on season and length of stay. Unless specified, arrival time is after 3:00 p.m. (California properties) 4:00pm (Hawaii properties), and departure time is by 10:00 a.m. on the day of departure. Charges vary and are subject to change without notice prior to confirming your booking request. All properties come fully equipped with television(s), linens, beach towels, hair dryers, dishes and utensils and an initial supply of soap and paper goods. Other amenities vary per property.
FINAL PAYMENT: Final payment on reservation is due 60 days prior to arrival.
CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY: Our company manages clients second homes. Since we do not operate like a hotel and most of our properties do not collect a separate “security deposit” (only monthly stays or longer may require one), we encourage ALL of our guests to purchase trip insurance. It’s a nominal price to pay to protect you in the event of an unforeseen cancellation.
MORE THAN 60 DAYS (prior to arrival): Reservation is fully refundable, however may be subject to a 5% processing fee on any amounts paid to date.
60-30 DAYS (prior to arrival): 50% of total cost of reservation is non-refundable.
LESS THAN 30 DAYS (prior to arrival): NO REFUNDS, guests forfeit the total reservation amount, less the Cleaning Fee which is refundable. Cancellation, early departure or shortened stay does NOT warrant any refund of rental amounts paid. No future credit or refund will be given for ANY shortened stay or late arrival.
*Please note, the property manager cannot change the reservation to a future date without at least 60 days notice or more. Any such changes are subject to the property owner’s approval.
Cancellations due to NATURAL DISASTERS, LOCAL/NATIONAL EMERGENCIES, ACTS OF GOD or HEALTH RELATED REASONS: The policies listed above remain in effect UNLESS the city issues an evacuation order during your stay or scheduled stay. In these cases where the city has issued such an evacuation order, you will be allowed to move your reservation to another date within the year and apply any payments made towards this new reservation. Owner and Haller Coastal Homes make no guarantees your desired dates will be available and other dates may need to be selected to accommodate this new reservation. Guests that have already checked into a property and are requesting a refund due to an evacuation order, may apply any unused rental rate towards a future reservation when property is available. NO REFUNDS will be given for any late arrival or shortened stay. While weather changes and local/national emergencies which include but are not limited to Acts of God, can happen that may affect/impact your stay, the owners of these properties and Haller Coastal Homes do not have control over the degree of impact, make no representations or warranties, and are not liable for events beyond their control. We recommend purchasing Travel/Trip insurance and a “Cancel for any Reason” policy that covers for everything to ensure peace of mind in the event of any unexpected cancellation or local/national disaster, act of God that may impact your stay. Additionally, cancellations due to health related or other personal reasons are subject to time frames and policies listed above. We apologize but guests agree by way of this rental agreement that they are renting someone’s home, not a hotel and cancellation policies are VERY STRICT as mentioned above. The only way to potentially protect your investment is by purchasing trip insurance that covers these events. I acknowledge that this is a legally binding document and check boxes serve only to reiterate the importance of reading that section carefully. I further certify that I have read all terms and conditions in this document.1. For reservations that are STAYS OF LESS THAN 30 NIGHTS (Rentals that are nightly or weekly and less than 30 nights)
CHANGES TO ANY BOOKING MAY RESULT IN ADDED CHARGES: A processing fee of 5% may be deducted in the event guest fails to complete Guest Verification and/or sign the rental agreement within the time period outlined when booking and the reservation has to be cancelled by property manager. This fee also applies to any guest cancellation in conjunction with the cancellation policy. This guest requirement was acknowledged by guest at the time of booking. Any changes made by the guest to a reservation, are subject to approval by the property owner and availability. Owners do not offer any refunds when guest stay is shortened. Please refer to the cancellation policy regarding any guest initiated cancellations.

A/C (AIR CONDITIONING): Santa Barbara properties and surrounding areas do not have central A/C as it is rarely needed. Approximately 90% of all the homes in SB do NOT have A/C. We rely on our cool ocean breezes! However, many of our rentals do have portable high output units to keep properties cool on some days that may be hotter than normal and some include central A/C. Please make sure to ask about the home you are renting and ensure that it meets your requirements.
NO SMOKING/VAPING POLICY: Smoking of any product is NOT allowed both in and on the premises or anywhere near the property. If smoking does occur on the premises or in the yard or close to neighboring properties, Occupant is responsible for all damage and fines caused by the smoking including, but not limited to, stains, burns, odors, and removal of debris. Occupant, Authorized Guests, and all others may be required to immediately leave (eviction) from the Premises as there are strict ordinances and regulations in our city and for these communities against smoking.

PET POLICY: We are all pet lovers however, we do not own the properties we manage. These are private homes owned by individual owners and NOT public accommodations governed by the ADA as it relates to both ESAs and Service Animals. California State Law supersedes and governs the lease of private property rentals as they pertain to ESA animals. Please be aware that under new California ESA Law AB 486 (2022), Emotional Support Animals (ESA) are still considered pets and not classified as service animals. Under this law, Property owners have the right to deny an ESA, request documentation, limit to only “service animals” and charge pet fees similar to airline policies for ESA dogs and other non-service dogs. The fine for misrepresenting an ESA as a “Service Animal” is punishable by fines and jail time in the State of California. If an unauthorized pet is on the premises, Occupant is responsible for all damage caused by the pet, Occupant, Authorized Guests, pet and all occupants may be required to immediately leave the premises, or be removed from property for violation of House Rules.
The properties we manage that do allow 1 small non-shedding dog are shown with a paw print in the upper right hand corner of listing photo on the main page that shows all of our short term rentals. A pet fee is required.
1 non-shedding, potty trained dog is permitted at properties that allow a pet*.
Many property owners are allergic to pets as well as future guests. If an unauthorized pet is on the premises, Occupant is responsible for all damage caused by the pet, Occupant, Authorized Guests, pet and all others may be required to immediately leave the premises, or be removed from it. Occupant is in breach of Agreement and Occupant forfeits its right to return of any security deposit.
Damage Waiver Policy does not apply to unauthorized pets.
*Look for paw print on main gallery photo page on website to find properties that allow a dog.
