LandsEnd is owned by Lakefront at LandsEnd, LLC (referred to herein as “Owner”, “we” or “us”). It is important to note that the Units are private residences. LandsEnd is not an inn, hotel or motel. The Units are used by Owner’s members and their friends and families off and on all year round. As such, it is very much appreciated if you would treat our Units as you would treat your own home. If there is anything that doesn’t seem to work ‘just right’, let us know when you can, and we will do our best to address the issue as soon as possible. Call us at (510) 999-NACI (6224) or Email us at LandsEnd@Naci7.com.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this agreement, Guest acknowledges that he/she is occupying the premises only as a licensee of the Owner, and that this agreement does not constitute a lease agreement or create a landlord-tenant relationship or any other interest in the Unit or any other property of Owner.
DEPOSIT AND PAYMENTS: 50% of your reservation (inclusive of all fees, deposits and taxes) is due within 24 hours of your reservation, and your reservation is not confirmed until funds are received and we have sent you a written Confirmation of Reservation. The total remainder is due 60 days prior to your check in date. If you have a credit card on file it will be charged automatically unless other payment arrangements are made. Please review your reservation and make sure all the information including check in and check out dates are correct.

There are no refunds if the reservation is cancelled less than 30 days prior to the arrival date. ENTIRE PENINSULA: When booking the entire Peninsula, there is a 25% cancellation fee for any cancellation more than 150 days prior to arrival, a 50% cancellation fee for any cancellation between 60-150 days before arrival and there are no refunds if the reservation is cancelled less than 60 days prior to the arrival date. Cancellation percentage applies to the total of all rent, taxes and fees for the total booking. When you reserve a Unit we are pulling it off the market so that it is not available to other families. If you are unsure about your vacation plans or do not have full commitment from your family and friends, please wait to make your reservation so you are not charged a cancellation fee. Due to extenuating circumstances (including fire, flood, property sale, unit issue, etc.), LandsEnds has the right to cancel your reservation in advance of your stay; however, you will receive a full refund of the money you paid.
WATER LEVEL: Lake Nacimiento water levels can drastically change. For current levels go to Monterey County Water Resources Website. Lake level cannot be guaranteed at the time of your stay. Contact us for more details of current levels.

As an example, if the maximum occupancy for a unit is 6 guests and you have 6 guests staying in the unit and you have two additional guests join you for day and/or night use, this is not allowed and the credit card on file will be billed for these two additional guests.
