Pre-Authorization Damage Deposit Hold To ensure coverage for any potential incidentals or damages during your stay, Bush to Bay Holiday Stays will place a temporary pre-authorization hold of $250 on your credit card two days before check-out. This is a standard practice in the hospitality industry and serves as a placeholder for any additional charges before final billing. ⚠️ Important: A pre-authorization hold is not a charge—it simply reserves funds temporarily. If no incidental costs or damages occur, the hold will be released after check-out, depending on your bank’s processing time.

Beautiful spot, dragged down by no access tk internet via mobile data or wifi. Sounds like a great excape from technology until you need to check your banking app or want to see what there is to do in the area on maps.
