If a security deposit was paid and no damage was done, it will be refunded to the card on file minus intermediate transaction or processing fees (typically ~3-6%).

- Lounge Location, Transportation, and Rebuild Requests
Sunkissed Beach Days selects standard setup locations and beaches based on several factors including but not limited to guest safety, experience, team logistics, local regulations, and natural environmental conditions. The location details for your booking are communicated in the confirmation email received by a guest after confirmation of payment.
Custom locations must be requested via the concierge service and approved by the Sunkissed Beach Days team in advance of the reservation. Setups outside of the general service area may incur additional charges at our sole discretion and will be communicated to the guest and paid before the booking is confirmed.
Client preferences may be communicated in advance and, in general, a lounge will not be moved once it is built, based on client preference upon arrival. Once in the field, the final lounge site will be determined at the sole discretion of Team Sunkissed with considerations including but not limited to external factors such as wind and tides.
Allowable rebuilds will be at the sole discretion of Team Sunkissed, pending availability, beach conditions and other logistical factors. A Rebuild Fee, determined by Sunkissed Beach Days at the time of request based on relevant factors, will be required to be paid in full prior to a rebuild occurring.

We assume no responsibility or liability for any such arrangements.

During a guests booking process, if the reservation time(s) listed in the online booking form and/or in the initial reservation confirmation email do not reflect the correct future seasonal reservation time (as shown on the reservation webpage), the guest reservation will be manually rescheduled by the Sunkissed Beach Days team, no less than 72 hours in advance of the reservation day (if applicable), but ideally as soon as possible after booking. The client will receive a rescheduled notice.
The refund policies apply to all Sunkissed Beach Days reservations and exceptions are not offered due to concerns regarding the seasonal timeframes.
Furthermore, the reservation times listed on the website may be subject to further change on a case by case basis, if deemed necessary by Team Sunkissed to accommodate seasonal elements or outside factors outside of our control, including but not limited to sunset time, daylight savings, seasonal tides, and local events. In the event that the Sunkissed Beach Days team needs to reschedule a reservation to a time outside of the times listed on the website, they will contact the guest to discuss options.
