Policies of Garden and Sea Inn Bed & Breakfast Resort

Because we’re a small, intimate inn, we kindly ask for 14 days’ notice for any changes or cancellations.

Plans change—we understand. Here’s how we help:

• Cancellations 15+ days before arrival
  Your reservation will be refunded, less a $50 per room processing fee.


• Cancellations within 14 days of arrival
  Reservations cancelled within this window are non-refundable.


• Non-refundable reservations (8-14 days before arrival)
  You won’t lose your stay—your reservation can be moved once to a new date in the same calendar year (rate adjustments may apply if selecting higher-priced dates).


• Special events, pony swim & holidays
  Due to high demand, cancellations during these dates will incur a fee equal to the highest nightly rate.


• No cancellations or changes may be made within 7 days of check-in and will result in the full charge for the entire stay.

A quick note:
As a small inn, last-minute changes can be difficult to fill. For that reason, reservations cannot be shortened, altered, or cancelled without the applicable policy above.

For added peace of mind, we recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect against unexpected changes.

We’re delighted to host you at Garden and Sea Inn. The following details help us create a relaxing, seamless experience for every guest.
