Be advised that Oceantime has adopted new policy regarding Service Animals and Emotional support animals..as of my receipt 2/14/2019
Regarding Service Dogs they have gone so far as to put it in writing, (the only timeshare I know of) to pay a cleaning fee AND "an occupant must provide written verification of their disability".HIPPA Violation and Two big violations of ADA Law regarding Service Animals and their owners..WOW

A guy on a Diamond Resort owners Facebook group is reporting that Diamond will make a no pets rule exception for his emotional support dog but he will need to pay $250 fee. He has a Doctors letter stating the need for the dog. The guy is not happy!

Emotional support dogs are not covered by ADA (the way service dogs are) and a resort can refuse them completely even with a doctor note or they can charge and put additional requirements if they allow the animal to stay.
