Security Damage Waiver (SDW) – The Cove Cottage

What Is the Security Damage Waiver?

The Security Damage Waiver (SDW) is a $45 non-refundable fee per stay that replaces a traditional security deposit.

It provides coverage for accidental damage to the cottage during your stay, up to $300.


Why We Use a Security Damage Waiver

The SDW allows guests to enjoy their stay without:

• Providing a refundable security deposit
• Waiting for deposit returns
• Having funds held on a credit card

It simplifies the booking process while providing protection for both guests and the property.


What the SDW Covers

The SDW covers unintentional, accidental damage to the cottage during your stay, up to $300.

Examples may include:

• Minor furniture damage
• Broken lamps or household items
• Carpet or upholstery spills

What Is Not Covered

The SDW does not cover:

• Intentional or negligent damage
• Excessive cleaning required beyond normal use
• Damage caused by pets in non-pet-friendly rentals

Guests remain responsible for any damage exceeding the $300 coverage limit.
