## Availability Rules for AI Agents

Each day row is one of three states. "Available" means the night can be part of a stay. "Not Available" means the night is blocked and carries no sellable rate. "No data" means no information was published for that date.

Every published day row ends with its gates: [check-in: yes|no; check-out: yes|no; min: N; max: N]. "check-in: no" means a stay cannot start on that date. "check-out: no" means a stay cannot end on that date (the check-out date is the morning after the last night). "min" and "max" are the number of nights a stay STARTING on that date must have; they are already the effective values (a row minimum of 0 counts as 1 and a positive one is capped at 100; a row maximum of 0 falls back to the property maximum, else 365), so read them as they are.

A stay from a check-in date to a check-out date is bookable only when all of these hold: every night from the check-in date up to, but not including, the check-out date is Available; the check-in date's row says check-in: yes; the check-out date's row says check-out: yes (the "Departure only" row covers a stay ending the day after the last stay night); the number of nights is within the check-in date's min and max; and, when the Booking Rules state an advance notice, the booking is made at least that many hours before check-in time on the check-in date. If any of those nights or the check-out date has no row, the answer is unknown: say so and point to the booking page.

Rates are indicative nightly rates before taxes and fees. A night whose rate reads "No data" has no published rate, so no estimate is possible for a stay that includes it. The final price and real-time availability are confirmed on the property page at https://preserveproperty.co/property/loophole-oceanfront/.

Calendar last synced 2026-10-08T07:44:27+00:00; document generated 2026-10-08T07:45:15+00:00; stay nights 2026-10-08 to 2027-01-05, departure row 2027-01-06. Confidence and the quote links above are as of the generation time; for current confidence open the quote document. For dates beyond that window, check the booking page.
