Upon arrival, full payment for your stay is required at check in. Cash, traveler checks and approved credit cards are acceptable forms of payment. Personal checks will only be accepted if they are received 5 days in advance of check in. Rental rates are subject to Florida state and local taxes, and are subject to change without notice.
CANCELLING YOUR RESERVATION
- If you cancel your reservation 30 days (60 days for monthly) prior to your scheduled arrival, youwill forfeit $100 of deposit plus any appropriate tax.
- If you cancel your pre-payed reservation received less than 30 days (60 days for monthly) prior to your scheduled arrival you will forfeit the full $500 deposit plus appropriate tax.
- Failure to cancel a reservation 24 hours prior to your scheduled arrival will result in a charge for the full amount of the reservation.
- Due to the uncertainty of the oil spill and its future effects to our area waters, Breakers East has amended its cancellation policy to give you peace of mind about your upcoming reservations. We want you to come down and enjoy your stay, and we are asking our guests to not cancel their reservations, unless our beaches are closed due to oil contamination. If oil is determined to be in our local waters and our beaches are closed, we will let you cancel your reservation with no financial penalties. Therefore, if you have a $500 deposit for an upcoming reservation, do not worry about losing your deposit if the oil spill happens to come our way.
- At the present time, Destin has not been affected at all due to the oil spill in the gulf. Our beaches are as beautiful as ever, and the water is safe for swimming! We will continually update our website to give you the most accurate information regarding the oil spill and the affects it may be having on our local beaches. You can also view the current NOAA Deep Horizon Oil Spill Trajectory Map. Please feel free to call our office, and we will be happy to give you the most current conditions of our beaches and put your mind at ease about your upcoming vacation here at Breakers East.

BREAKERS EAST BEACH RULES
The following list of Beach rules is assembled to assist the Breakers East Condominium Beach Service with the safe and comfortable accommodation of all owners and guests. Several of the rules are repeated from County and City Laws which are currently in place but have been routinely ignored. We sincerely hope these beach rules aid the Breakers East’s guests and owner’s peaceful enjoyment of the beach.
- A flag system is in place for your safety. Please observe and obey the flag system.
- For your safety please pay close attention to the beach warning information – particularly run outs and riptides in the gulf. Two simple rules of prevention: 1) Do not swim near a runout (a strip of dark water extending seaward from the beach. 2) If caught in a runout, don’t panic. Swim diagonally across the rip tide.
- No littering, vehicles, glass, fires or animals on the beach!!
- No walking, playing or sitting in the sand dunes or on the vegetative growth surrounding the sand dunes. KEEP OFF!!
- No radios playing music at excessive or offensive volumes. If a guest complaint is received, the beach attendant will politely ask them to reduce the volume.
- Tobacco smoke may be offensive to downwind patrons. If so, the person smoking may be asked to extinguish their smoking or move to a location that will not offend other guests. Cigarette and cigar buts are trash and should be discarded properly, not left as litter on the beach.
- Tents, tarps and canopies are not allowed on the Breakers East beach. This rule has been adopted by numerous condominiums to avoid monopolizing the beach space and interfering with beach cleaning operations.
- Personal beach set ups are not allowed in front of the condominiums’ beach service chair and umbrella set-ups.
- Any personal equipment left on the beach over night will be considered trash and will be disposed of properly.
Please see the beach attendant for beach service. Do not sit in chairs reserved for or owned by other patrons.
WE ARE FAMILY FRIENDLY AND WILL NOT HONOR RESERVATIONS FOR STUDENT GROUPS OR UNCHAPERONED YOUNG ADULTS. RESERVATIONS MADE UNDER FALSE PRETENSES WILL RESULT IN DENIAL OF ADMITTANCE, EVICTION, AND/OR FORFEITURE OF DEPOSIT AND RENT.
REMEMBER, NO PETS, SKATEBOARDS OR ROLLER BLADES ALLOWED.
