Rate Information
Rates are determined by three criteria: (1) Distance from the beach or Bay, (2) time selected - July & August peak season or June & September off season, (3) size, type and quality of the rental unit. Many of our rental units are now assigned a rating to assist you in the selection process.
Deposits, Leases, etc.
Typically, summer rentals are for a period of one week or longer. A written lease is required and a one-third deposit is given when the tenant signs the lease. In addition, most property owners require a security deposit of $500 and most agents charge a lease processing fee of $45. In the event you must cancel your rental, your deposit is held until the unit has been re-rented and is typically subject to a cancellation fee of 10% after 72 hours. Credit cards are accepted for carry over and initial deposits.
What's Included
Rental units are usually complete with the exception of linens and towels. A daily maid service and/or departure cleaning is not included in the rental, but is available as an option for a reasonable charge. Properties are expected to be left reasonably clean at the end of your stay, with reasonable wear and tear excepted. A "clean-up" list is included in your check-in packet. Pets are usually not allowed. Check our "Pet Friendly" rental section for units that allow pets with a minor additional charge.
Beach Tags
Beach tags are required for all persons over the age of 12 and are not normally included in your rental. The cost of beach tags is $20 for a seasonal tag ($25 after May 15), $10 for a weekly tag, and $5 for a daily tag. Beach tags are not required on Wednesdays. Tags can be purchased on the beach from an inspector or at the beach tag office at JFK Blvd. and Park Blvd.
Parking and Transportation
Parking is at a premium. The City has public parking lots located at 48th St and Park Road, JFK and Landis Ave. and on 42nd Street at the Bay. Access to downtown is now available by a public jitney system that operates from June until Labor Day from 2:00pm until 10:00pm with a late nite service on weekends from 10:00pm until 3:00am.

Miscellaneous
Appliance and air conditioning breakdowns sometimes occur. Under normal conditions, repairs are made within 24 hours. Refunds are not given for breakdowns. It is important to specify the exact number of persons you need to accommodate when making your reservation. The maximum number of persons is listed on your lease and filed with the City. Do not rent a property if you expect to exceed the allowed number of occupants. Check-in time is 1:00pm on Saturday and check-out time is 10:00am. A clean-up list is included in your check in packet. Be sure to return the keys to the agent's office so that you are not charged for a new set. The unit should be clean when you take occupancy. If it is not, advise the agent immediately. Please clean up the unit prior to departure.
Accidental Damage Waiver
All Landis Co leases include a non-refundable $45.00 fee for an Accidental Damage Waiver (ADW). This waiver protects the tenant from the expense of unintentional and accidental damages tenants and/or their guests may cause to the rental property during the term of the lease. The ADW eliminates the large up front payment of a property Security Deposit. All covered and non-covered damages must be disclosed and reported to the rental agent within 24 Hours of the occurrence and prior to check out. Upon receipt of notification of damages, the Agent will immediately order an inspection and verification of the damages including an estimated cost of repair/replacement. The ADW fund will pay maximum damage protection of up to $1,500. The tenant will be responsible for any damages that exceed this amount as well as damages that are listed as excluded from coverage. If during the term of the lease, a tenant or guest causes any damage to the leased real or personal property as a result of inadvertent acts or omissions, the ADW fund will reimburse the property owner the cost of repair or replacement of such property up to a maximum damage amount of $1,500. Certain terms, conditions and exclusions apply.

ADW WILL NOT COVER THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:
• Group Seasonal Rentals are specifically excluded from this program
• Damages considered to be normal wear and tear
• Cleaning or excessive cleaning (Tenant is responsible to clean up before leaving)
• Beach Tags
• Trash removal and/or violations of the City Trash Ordinance are not covered if the owner does not provide a required number of lids and cans.
• Acts of God
• Loss or damage to tenant's property or rental equipment brought on the premises
• Pet damage in pet friendly units covered up to $250
• Violations to the owner of any City Ordinance or Citation caused by the tenant covered up to $100

Additional details of the ADW can be found in the Landis Co handout. By submitting payment for this plan and accepting the terms and conditions of the lease, the tenant authorizes the Landis Co Realtors through the ADW Fund to disburse any amount due and payable under the terms and conditions as set forth in the program. The tenant must notify the Landis Co of their non-participation in the program PRIOR to signing a lease. Upon waiving ADW Fund participation, the tenant will be required to pay a refundable security deposit in the amount of $500. Please refer to the Security Deposit clause in the lease agreement for more information.

Eleven Things You Should Know Before Buying a Waterfront Home:

Pre-qualifying for a home, understanding navigable water use laws, conducting a professional home inspection, verifying property lines and purchasing insurance; buying a home can be a complicated process. But add “waterfront” into the equation and things get a little more complex. The good news is, Realtors regularly deal with waterfront properties know the ins and outs of this process. The following tips will give you a heads-up on what to expect when purchasing a home by the water.

1. Find a real estate agent that specializes in waterfront properties. Since there are fewer waterfront properties for sale, most agents won’t have the specialized knowledge of appraising or investigating waterfront properties. In fact, it’s not unusual for a real estate agent to never have a single waterfront transaction in the entire career. Sometimes “you may think you’ve found a great deal” but the reason it’s a great deal could be restrictive use conditions or protected plants and animals etc. You might not be able to create that private beach you’ve been dreaming about.
2. Consider the property more than the house. “Oftentimes, people fall in love with a house, but after they buy it, they realize the swimming is mucky, the view’s not very good, it’s difficult to get down to the water, or the place is not very private,” says Ted Silberstein, a real estate agent and GIS analyst with Parsons Realty. Ted specializes in land use restrictions and is an advisor to all of the Parsons’ real estate agents. Long story short, you can change the house, but you can’t change the location, so buy a property that you really love after you’ve checked it out first.
3. Can anyone use the waterway in front of your home? The answer is YES. Therefore it’s important to know if the area you’re considering is the “local hangout” on the weekends or during the summer months. Agents specializing in waterfront properties will know this. Here’s an excerpt of the regulations regarding waterways. The public’s right to use California waterways is guaranteed by the United States and California Constitutions and affirmed by California Legislative Codes. Both Federal and California case law further define and affirm these rights. The United States Constitution says - Freedom of navigation and the public’s right to use rivers are guaranteed by the Commerce Clause. The congressional Act admitting States to the Union requires that “all the navigable waters within said State shall be common highways and forever free.” Therefore, when you barbecue, be sure to throw on another shrimp just in case you have company.
4. Choose a property that dovetails with your lifestyle. You may find a beautiful property for sale, but it’s a 30 minute drive to the closest boat launch. “If you’re passionate about fly fishing on the Sacramento River, that’s going to make a difference in how often you actually do it. Focus on the activities you’re passionate about and choose a property accordingly.
5. Look into loans early. Since many waterfront properties are more expensive than other properties, loans will often fall into the jumbo mortgage category, In addition, there may not be recent sales in the area to justify the “cost per square foot” since a good chunk of the purchase price is allocated to the unique location. Chris Lamm of Security 1 Lending says “lenders will therefore only consider very qualified buyers.” And, buyers ought to start the loan process before they start looking for a property because waterfront property loans can take a lot longer than a normal home loan,” Lamm says.
6. Carefully check out the structure and look for deferred maintenance. Waterfront homes receive more abuse from the elements than the average home, so extra measures should be taken to protect them.
7. Insurance can be costly and complicated. Look into this early to make sure you know what you’re getting into. For instance, Tim Beasley of AAA insurance of Redding, CA says waterfront homeowners may have to cover additional perils such as a flood insurance policy and liability policies with higher than normal limits.
8. Find out what you can do with the property. If you want to make any changes to your waterfront property, such as adding a dock, start this process early to ensure that these alterations will be possible. Government agencies are very strict to deal with, and you don’t want to commit to purchasing an expensive home without knowing these limitations. Also find out what kind of activities are allowed on the body of water, as some areas have restrictions on jet skis, speedboats and other watercraft.
9. Talk to neighbors. Get insider information from neighbors by asking if they enjoy living in the community, if they have any issues with the property you’re thinking about purchasing, or if there are any waterfront-related problems.
10. In rural areas look into utilities. Waterfront buyers who are accustomed to the convenience of suburban life may assume that electricity, clean water, an adequate septic system, cable and Internet will be readily available at their new property, but this is not always the case. Bringing these services in to remote areas can be very expensive.
11. Get to know your responsibilities as a waterfront homeowner. If you’re part of a homeowners association, find out what kind of upkeep and maintenance of the property will be required from you by reviewing the conditions, covenants and restrictions also known as CC&Rs.
