Before booking, please note some strictly enforced policies:
ZERO TOLERANCE for noise disturbances –
The City of San Diego, Home Owner’s Associations, and other various neighborhood groups have ordinances and fines in place for noise violations which we comply with. Over occupancy and house parties are not tolerated. Any noise complaints and ordinance infractions will result in an immediate termination of occupancy with no refunds plus a charge of all fines resulting from the violations.
Minimum Age Requirement/Maximum Occupancy –
The ages of all guests must be stated. The number of guests cannot exceed the listed maximum occupancy for the property. Planned use of property for events or gatherings must be disclosed before booking. A group of adults booking a property together must over 25 years and older.
Management and property owners reserve the right to cancel confirmed reservations at our discretion.
No Inconvenience Refund –
The vacation rentals we manage are located in a prime area which is constantly evolving. We never know when the place next door will be upgraded, remodeled, or rebuilt. Also, the sea air is constantly wreaking havoc on home equipment. Thus, it is impossible to guarantee that equipment will never break down.
When, something goes wrong, we will do our best to correct the problem. However, we will not issue refunds or relocate guests for reasons out of our control such as malfunctioning equipment, power outages and loud noises from construction, traffic, or parties.

The Properties are generally older, and not necessarily “child safe.” Children should not roam free on balconies; climb on furniture; hang out of windows; or engage in other unsupervised activities.

In the event Mission Vacation is unable to deliver the Property to Licensee because of property sale, property owner decision, fire, mandatory evacuation, eminent domain or Acts of Nature, or if the property is unavailable because of construction delays or lack of utilities, Licensee agrees that Mission Vacations’ sole liability, as a result of any of these conditions, will be a full refund of all payments tendered by Licensee.

Licensee expressly acknowledges that in no event will Mission Vacation be held liable for any other condition out of the control of Mission Vacation or the Owner, or for any incidental or consequential damages, including but not limited to, expenses that result from moving or for any other losses.
19. Tenancy: The Licensee acknowledges that this is NOT a tenancy for the Property. The Property is not rented for more than 30 days, and is taxed and treated as a transient occupancy, akin to hotel accommodations. Property laws do not apply to the license granted herein, and the Licensee may be removed as a trespasser immediately upon termination of this license. The Property is rented on regular short term periods, and for a significantly higher rate than a non-vacation rental. Often a licensee is scheduled to begin a vacation in the Property on the same day as the check-out day of another prior licensee. If Licensee stays even one additional day, Mission Vacation would face significant logistical problems with the next licensee, including possible liability. As such, Licensee agrees to vacate immediately on the check-out day, at 10:00 a.m. Failure to do so will entitle Mission Vacation, in addition to all other remedies available to it, to: have Licensee ejected by law enforcement as trespasser; and to physically remove Licensee and all of Licensee’s possessions from the Property, for which Licensee hereby grants permission and consent; and obtain damages and injunctive relief against Licensee.
20. Indemnification: Licensee agrees to release and indemnify Mission Vacation and Owner from and against all liability should anyone be injured upon the premises during the term of occupancy, resulting from any cause whatsoever, except in the case of personal injury caused by willful gross negligence on the part of the Owner or Mission Vacation.
21. Owner Changes: Every effort is made to ensure all information on the web site and other documentation is accurate and complete. However, Mission Vacation is not liable for errors, omissions, mistakes, price changes and any changes by the Owner in furnishings, equipment, bed arrangements and other accommodations.
22. Construction: Mission Vacation may not be held responsible for failure to disclose information regarding construction outside the property boundaries.
23. Relationship with Owners of Subject Property: It is hereby disclosed that Mission Vacation has a contractual relationship with the Owners as the Owners, agent. This contractual relationship employs Mission Vacation to forward information to the Owner, act according to Owner’s directions and treat all parties honestly, fairly, and in good faith. All rentals are subject to confirmation by Owner. Licensee agrees that Mission Vacation will not be liable for damages caused by decision of the Owner.
24. Effective Date: Not withstanding anything to the contrary, this Occupancy Agreement is binding and effective when no signature is required, and Licensee’s affirmative assent to the terms is expressed by Licensee’s reservation of the unit. If Licensee desires to terminate this agreement due to lack of assent, he/she must do so within three days of the date the reservation was made. Mission Vacation receives a Reservation initial payment(s).
25. Governing Law: The terms and conditions stated herein will be interpreted by and governed under the laws of the State of California and any action arising out of this agreement shall be litigated in the city of San Diego, State of California.
26. Attorney’s Fees: In the event of any action or proceeding commenced by any party, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the other party all cost and expenses thereof, including actual attorney’s fees and cost.
27. Invalid Provisions: If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term hereof, such provision shall be fully severable and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof; and the remaining provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by it’s severance hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as a part of the Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and still be legal, valid, or enforceable.
28. Entire Agreement: This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties and supersedes all prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof. No amendment or modification hereto shall be binding unless made in writing and signed by the parties hereto.
29. Waiver: The waiver by either party hereto of a breach of any term or provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach of same provision by any party or of the breach of any other term or provisions of this Agreement.
Thank you,
Mission Vacation Rentals
