Choosing Nautical Home Designs for your rental pieces means supporting a local, woman-owned small business. As a one-woman operation, I’m personally involved in every aspect of your rental experience, from building the pieces, to communicating with clients, to greeting you at pick up and drop off.
Because of this, and my busy family life, my business operates a little differently than larger rental companies. Please review the important information below before booking.
All rentals are picked up and dropped off in the Spryfield area of Halifax.
For clients requiring delivery, an outside delivery service is available and must be booked in advance. Delivery rates start at $210 roundtrip within Halifax & surrounding areas and include delivery, set-up, and pick up.
Pick Up
Thursday during business hours
Your exact pick up time will be scheduled during the week of your rental.
Drop Off
Regular Weekends:
Long Weekends:
A 50% reservation deposit is required to secure your booking, with the remaining balance due 14 days prior to pick up.
Bookings made within 14 days of the pick up date require full non-refundable payment at the time of booking.
Cancellations are permitted up until 14 days before pick up. Within 14 days of pick up, all payments received are non-refundable.
A valid credit card is required on file at least 14 days prior to pick up as a standard precautionary measure. The card acts as a security deposit for the rental items.
To prevent damage, rental items must be protected from rain, snow, strong winds, and other adverse weather conditions at all times. This includes during transportation, setup, throughout the event, and until the items are safely returned.
All rental items must be transported inside a fully enclosed or properly covered vehicle. Tarps are not considered adequate protection, as water can collect or seep underneath and cause damage.
Rental items should never be left outdoors or unattended where they may be exposed to weather.
Our prices reflect the rental amount for the entire weekend, not per day, as we are closed on weekends & only offer full weekend rentals. Please see drop off/pick up times below.
To inquire, please fill out the rental inquiry form. If it's available, we will send the rental agreement with deposit instructions.
Since we only have one of each piece, once the rental agreement is sent, your event dates are only held for 24 hours while awaiting payment and signature and will automatically expire if not received in that timeframe.
Transportation requirements are clearly noted on each rental listing, including the minimum vehicle size required when applicable. It is the customer’s responsibility to review the listed dimensions, measure their vehicle, and ensure the rental item will fit safely before arriving for pickup.
For safety and to prevent damage, rental items must be fully secured inside the appropriate vehicle and cannot be transported unsecured or sticking out of windows, trunks, or other openings.
If a listing specifies a minimum vehicle requirement (for example, a truck), the item will not be released to a smaller vehicle (for example, a mid-size SUV), even if the customer believes it may fit.
If proper transportation is not available at the scheduled pickup, the rental item will not be released and the customer remains responsible for the full rental amount. Please note that rescheduling or arranging an alternative pickup time may not be possible.
Not sure if your vehicle will work? Feel free to contact us before pickup with your vehicle make/model and we’ll be happy to help determine whether it is suitable.
Yes! But you will be the one responsible if damage occurs during transport. It is also your responsibility to make sure the right size transportation is sent. This is a home-based business that is available by appointment only, therefore requires customers (or their delivery person) to adhere to scheduled pick up times.
We do have an outside delivery service that will deliver/setup/pick back up. They charge from $210 roundtrip within HRM.
No, but I highly recommend Called to Party!
Yes! A week before the balance is due, you will get an automatic email with a heads up that your balance is due in a week. And then on the due date, you will receive another email.
A cancellation request must be made by email from the email address that booked the rental.

As a small, locally owned business, we primarily accept Email Money Transfers (EMT). This helps us avoid high processing fees and allows us to keep our rental pricing as fair and affordable as possible for our customers.
If needed, credit card payments can still be accommodated; however, an additional processing fee will apply.
