For all cancellations received less than 45 days prior to your arrival date, 100% of the total remaining reservation fee is required.

Ocean Mist Cottages will make every effort to rebook the cottage, however we cannot guarantee rebooking. No-shows, late arrival and early departures are all non-refundable. Ocean Mist Cottages suggests that you purchase trip cancellation insurance which may cover you for specific unforeseen reasons that may cause you to cancel your trip. The most common reasons for cancellation within the 45 day period may include but are not limited to:

becoming unexpectedly ill or injured
hospitalization or death of a travelling or non-traveling family member
various weather or common carrier/transportation related issues
unforeseen natural disasters at home or the destination
legal obligation, such as being called for jury duty or to appear as a witness in court
