Booking Questions
Property-specific listing details, checkout terms and your confirmed reservation always control.
How do I check availability and book directly?
Visit our live vacation-rental search, enter your dates and number of guests, then review available properties. Select a rental to view current photos, amenities, rates, minimum-stay requirements and reservation terms.
Why should I book directly with AZ Realty & Rentals?
Direct booking provides clear property information, secure online reservations and communication with the Arizona team managing the rental. It may also avoid certain markups charged by third-party vacation-rental marketplaces.
What payments are required?
A deposit equal to 25% of the total booking amount is required when the reservation is made. The remaining balance is due 60 days before arrival.
What is the cancellation policy?
Reservations canceled more than 60 days before arrival are subject to a cancellation fee equal to 10% of the total booking amount. Any payments received above the cancellation fee will be refunded. Cancellations made 60 days or fewer before arrival are nonrefundable. Example: For a $1,000 booking, the initial deposit is $250. If the reservation is canceled more than 60 days before arrival, the cancellation fee is $100 and the remaining $150 is refunded.
Which charges may be included in my reservation?
Depending on the property and reservation, charges may include rent, required taxes, cleaning, payment-processing charges, pet fees, pool-heating fees and optional products such as travel insurance or damage protection. Applicable charges are displayed during reservation.
Preparing for Your Stay
When will I receive arrival and access instructions?
Arrival details are provided according to the reservation process after required payments, agreements and guest information have been completed. Instructions may include the property address, access method, parking information and important house details.
What time are check-in and checkout?
Times can vary by rental. Use the times shown in your listing and confirmed reservation instructions. Please do not enter early or remain after checkout unless our team has approved the request in advance.
Can I request early check-in or late checkout?
You may ask, but approval depends on reservations, cleaning schedules, property readiness and other operational needs. A request is not confirmed until you receive written approval, and an additional charge may apply.
What should I do before checking out?
Follow the checkout instructions provided for your rental. These may address dishes, trash, used linens, thermostat settings, keys or access devices, doors and windows, and reporting damage or maintenance concerns.
During Your Stay
What if something is not working or is not as expected?
Please contact us promptly at (520) 820-9253. Photos and a clear description can help us understand the concern. Reporting an issue immediately gives our team the best opportunity to assist during your stay rather than learning about it after departure.
Is Wi-Fi included?
Our vacation rentals are expected to provide Wi-Fi without a separate access charge unless the individual listing says otherwise. Network information is supplied with the property instructions. Internet speed and service can be affected by the provider, equipment, location and temporary outages.
Are all amenities shown in photographs guaranteed?
Review the current written listing and amenity list. Furnishings, décor, community facilities and equipment may change, and shared amenities can be closed or restricted by an HOA, community, weather condition or service need outside the manager's control.
Who should I contact in an emergency?
For an immediate threat to life, safety, fire or criminal activity, call 911 first. Then notify AZ Realty & Rentals as soon as safely possible. For urgent property concerns that are not life-threatening, use the contact information in your reservation instructions.
Property Requirements
Are pets allowed?
Pet policies vary by property. Only rentals specifically identified as pet-friendly may allow pets, and advance disclosure, approval, limits and fees may apply. Unauthorized animals may violate the reservation terms. Assistance-animal requests are handled under applicable requirements.
Can I bring more guests than listed on my reservation?
No additional or overnight guests should be added without prior approval. Every property has an occupancy limit based on its listing, safety considerations, sleeping arrangements, community rules and reservation terms.
Are parties, events or smoking permitted?
Follow the individual property's house rules. Smoking is generally prohibited inside managed rentals, and parties or events are not permitted unless expressly approved in writing. Noise, parking and community requirements must be respected.
Are children welcome?
Many properties welcome children, but suitability and amenities vary. Review the listing for stairs, pools, balconies, fireplaces, desert conditions and other property-specific considerations. Guests remain responsible for appropriate supervision.
Extending or Modifying Your Stay
Can I stay for a month or longer?
Yes, many furnished rentals can accommodate monthly, seasonal or extended stays. Availability, pricing, agreements, screening, utility terms and tax treatment may differ based on the length and structure of the reservation.
Can I extend my reservation by one or two nights?
Extensions depend on availability, cleaning schedules and upcoming reservations. Contact us at (520) 820-9253 as early as possible. An extension is not confirmed until the updated charges and reservation terms have been completed.
Can I change properties after booking?
A requested change is subject to availability, the existing reservation terms, pricing differences and any applicable fees. Contact our team promptly so we can review the available options.
