Cancellations

Williamson Realty strongly urges guests to take the optional CSA Vacation Travel Insurance. Should you need to cancel your reservation, please notify us in writing as soon as possible. If your reservation must be canceled for any reason, all monies paid will be forfeited unless the home or condo is re-rented for the entire period of your reservation and for the full rental amount. If re-rented, monies will be refunded less the reservation fee, travel insurance, and cancellation fee of $250.

Check-in time

Check in time begins at 3:00 PM.

1. If you’re checking into a Smart Home Keyless Entry property, you will receive your key code from PointCentral by text/email message to the cell phone listed on your reservation. You do not need to stop by the office, just go directly to your property after you receive a text/email letting you know that the property is ready for occupancy.

2. If you’re checking into a property that DOES NOT have keyless entry, then you will check in at Williamson Realty Vacations office located at 119 Causeway Drive, Ocean Isle Beach, NC 28469. We are on the left-hand side of Causeway Drive BEFORE the bridge that goes to the island. Our goal is to have all properties ready by 3:00 pm but occasionally, maintenance or special cleaning may delay check in time. Please DO NOT go onto the premises of your rental property (including driveways and outside showers) before you have received your check-in package and keys from our office as this will delay the cleaning and maintenance process
