Rental terms

Here you can read about the rental terms and conditions for our holiday homes in Skagen, Frederikshavn, Sæby and Hirtshals.

1. Rental Agreement

The rental agreement covers the holiday home as described on the website – started rentals cannot be exchanged for another property. The rental period starts at 4:00 PM on the arrival day (weeks 27–35) and 3:00 PM for the rest of the year.

Key collection – see key information section in the rental contract – at the above time unless otherwise agreed. The property must be vacated by 10:00 AM if final cleaning is booked or mandatory, otherwise 11:00 AM. (Weeks 27–35: check-out 10:00 AM, or 9:00 AM if final cleaning is booked/mandatory.)

The rental agency reserves the right to charge handling fees and a deposit. Deposit is refunded within 21 days if the property is returned in the same condition. Handling fees are non-refundable.

Lost keys incur a fee; contact the office immediately if a key is lost.

Late departure fee: DKK 500.


2. Payment Terms

  • 1st installment: 50% of the rent within 14 days of contract date.

  • 2nd installment: Remaining balance due 8 weeks before arrival.

If booked less than 8 weeks before arrival, full payment is due immediately. Keys are only issued upon full payment. Failure to pay on time allows the agency to cancel the rental.
