If you carelessly/recklessly damage something in the unit or do not report damage as it occurs, the damage will not be covered by the LDW. You may also opt to pay a $250.00 damage deposit however, should any type of damage (accidental, careless or reckless) transpire, the charge/s for repair or replacement of damages will be billed and charged to the credit card on file for your reservation. – Beach Rentals of South Walton 2010 Rentals of South Walton 2010
