(Please wait for confirmation of availability for your reservation before mailing your check as deposit.) Payment within the 30 day period must be made by cash, credit card, money order, travelers check or certified/cashiers check. Payments under $50 will be exempt from this rule.


  2. The Bookstore, Kalbach Welcome Center, Craft Shop, Marina and The 10th Hole Snack Shop will accept personal checks so long as the amount does not exceed $50.

    • Driver’s License #
    • State where license was issued
    • Expiration date of license
    • Phone number

Day Reservations

  • Full payment is due at the time the reservation is made.
  • Cancellations may be made 72 hours or more prior to the event date with a full refund. Cancellations made within 72 hours of the event date or no-shows will result in the forfeiture of the payment made on the reservation.

Personal Retreat Reservations

  • A credit card number must be given to reserve any Bed and Breakfast stay in the Chesapeake Lodge. You will need to pay a deposit to secure your room. Payment in full is due at the time of arrival. If you would like to pay by personal check, please send in the check at least two weeks prior to your arrival date, noting your reservation number on the check. No checks accepted at time of arrival.
  • Cancellations may be made 48 hours or more prior to the guest's intended date of arrival with no penalty. Cancellations made within 48 hours of the intended arrival date or no-shows will result in the first night's charges being billed to the credit card number holding the reservation.

Sandy Cove Overnight Events

  • A credit card number must be used to reserve any room in the Chesapeake Lodge.
  • When making a reservation for an event more than 6 months in advance, you must either pay in full at time of reservation or pay 50% at time of reservation, with the remaining 50% due 6 months prior to the event. Authorization for automatic payment at 6 months prior must be given at time of initial payment. When making reservations within 6 months of an event, full payment is due at time of reservation.
  • For groups of 10 or more (3-4 rooms at triple or quad occupancy) that are participating in a Sandy Cove event may be handled through Group Ministry with a payment plan.
  • Cancellations
    1. For cancellations 0 – 3 months prior to an event: No refunds or transfers
    2. For cancellations 3 or more months prior to an event: you may transfer 50% of what you have paid to another event. The other 50% is non-refundable.
    3. If you are not able to keep your reservation to come to a Sandy Cove event, you may find a replacement to take your spot, with no penalty. Please call and let us know the name of the substitute guest(s). The amount paid on the reservation will be applied/transferred to the new guest, not refunded. (Please settle finances directly with your replacement).
    4. At your request, we will try to re-sell a room by offering it to a guest on the wait list if applicable. If Sandy Cove is able to re-sell a room and find a replacement from our wait list, we will offer to transfer 50% of the monies paid to a future Sandy Cove event, if applicable. If no other event is possible, a 50% refund will be offered. We will retain the other 50% of monies paid as a non-refundable deposit.
