Since 1963 Parker-Kaufman, Realtors & Insurance has managed vacation rental property on Jekyll Island.
Our web site is designed to help you in selecting a vacation cottage that will best suit your
needs.
All vacation cottages managed by Parker-Kaufman are privately owned and may vary from modest to quite plush. Rental
rates are based on location, general condition, size, number of tenants that the cottage accommodates, and the amenities
the cottage offers. We ask that you treat these properties with the care you would you own home so they will be available
for the enjoyment of yourself and others for years to come.

Please select between 3-5 cottages when making a reservation in the event your first choice is not available.
Our staff is very knowledgeable and will be happy to provide you with available dates and answer any questions
you may have about our cottages and the Island itself. While you are here, it is possible for you to visit our
other homes as long as they are available.
CHECK-IN
Check-in time is 4:00 p.m. Please do not arrive before then unless other
arrangements have been made. Please DO NOT go to the cottage you have rented as this may interfere with
the cleaning crew. You are responsible for any damage to the property during your stay so please let us
know immediately if you detect a problem. Do not wait until check-out to let us know. You will have a
set of House Rules and a Guest Survey in your cottage. Please review the rules and fill out the survey
before leaving. We appreciate all the feedback from our tenants. If you are going to be a late arrival,
please contact our office and let us know.
CHECK-OUT
Check-out is 10:00 a.m. Please make every effort to leave
on time so we can
get ready for the next tenants. If you have rented linens, please bundle them in a
pile next to the front door. We also ask that you sweep, clean the stove and
refrigerator, empty the trash, turn off all lights and lock doors and windows.
Please return the keys to our office. There is a key drop located on our front
door in the event our office is closed. Don't forget to return the Guest Survey.
DEPOSITS
Once you have made your reservation, we will send you a confirmation provided we receive a deposit of 50% of
the total rental within seven (7) days of your making your reservation. The balance of the rent, services,
taxes and a reservation processing fee are due upon arrival.

FEE

charged on each reservation.
CANCELLATION POLICY
In the event of cancellation, we will make every effort to re-rent the cottage
for that time period. However, the deposit, less a $30.00 service charge and $10.00 reservation processing fee,
will be refunded only when the cottage has been re-rented. Since all cottages are individually owned, upgrading
from one cottage to another cottage will be treated in the same fashion as a cancellation. You may wish to
investigate "Trip Interruption Insurance Coverage" online or with your local insurance carrier to protect
your vacation investment.
