Reservations for the Next Year

Guests that have reservations in 2023 have the first right to put a tentative hold on the same week for 2024. This offer expires at 10:00AM on their reservation day. If a reservation has not been made by the current guest prior to checking out, the week in 2024 is open to anyone to hold. Property owners have first right of refusal.

How do I make a "HOLD" reservation for 2024?

Reservations for 2024 must be made in house (not online). Call Shorewood Real Estate (252) 354-7873 and speak to a reservationist and check on availability. A $100.00 non-refundable hold fee is due to hold the week.

When do 2024 rates come out?

Rates for 2024 will be established by mid-October 2023. Future rates may increase - previous year rates are not a guarantee.

What happens to my $100.00 Non-Refundable Hold Fee Payment?

$100.00 non-refundable hold fee is required to hold a property off the market for 2024. Allowing you and your family plenty of time to plan your family vacation without a lot at stake. This hold fee is credited towards first payment. If you cancel your tentative "HOLD" reservation prior to making first payment, this $100.00 hold fee is not refunded.

When are first payments due?

Signed Vacation Renal Agreements and First Payments (for tentative "HOLD" reservations) are due on November 15th, 2023. First payments are approximately half of grand total. Remaining balance are due 45 days prior to arrival date. Once this first payment is made, the Vacation Rental Agreement and Cancellation Policy is in effect.

I put a hold on a property but want to make a change...what are my options?

Prior to signing the Vacation Rental Agreement and making first payment on November 15th, 2023, we can transfer your $100.00 hold fee to another property managed by Shorewood Real Estate (if available) at no penalty. To make this request, you must email rentals@shorewoodrealestate.net. Remember: the $100.00 hold fee is non-refundable should you decide to cancel your tentative "HOLD" reservation.

Example...

Guest that has a reservation for the week of July 1-July 8, 2023, have first right to book THE SAME property for the week of June 29-July 6, 2024. The reserved guest must take advantage of the “first right” offer by 10:00am on July 8, 2023. If not reserved for 2024 by that time, the week is open for anyone to reserve.
