Welcome to our terms and conditions of all our rentals.
This is important and affects your legal rights and obligations, so please read them and other terms referenced in this document carefully. Each guest must affirm via electronically or verbally agreement to these terms and conditions and becomes legal binding at the point the reservation is secured by payment. Booking through a 3rd party does not waive SkyRun’s rights under these terms and conditions.
SkyRun Virginia Beach Vacation Rental Contract
CANCELLATION POLICY: See property listing and/or reservation confirmation for the specific cancellation policy. In the case of a SkyRun cancellation, through no fault of the guest, the guest may be entitled to a refund of lodging for the unused nights less certain booking costs. SkyRun's liability shall not exceed the total amount paid for the unused nights in the event of cancellation.
PAYMENT: Your payment of 1/3 of the grand total (or a minimum of $300) was paid at the time of booking. The remainder of the balance was paid 30 days prior to arrival. If you booked through Airbnb or another 3rd party site, they have collected your payments according to their payment terms & conditions.
TAXES & FEES: SkyRun collects all state, county and local sales and lodging taxes required by the appropriate jurisdictions. In addition to required taxes, SkyRun collects a damage waiver and service fee so we can provide a more secure booking experience coupled with 24/7 guest support during your trip.

Long-term reservations are subject to their own cancellation policies, payment policies and terms. All monies paid for long-term reservations are non-refundable at the time the payment is collected. No refunds will be offered for cancellations. One third of the total booking cost will be taken at the time of booking.

If the replacement property offered is not acceptable to you for any reason, SkyRun will cancel your reservation and refund your total amount paid. SkyRun does not guarantee that a suitable property will be able to be found.
