refunds: this retreat has a limited guest count. once you register, there are no guaranteed refunds. once the retreat is full, knitters that were not able to secure a slot may choose to join the waiting list. if your plans change and you wish to transfer your registration, ko will use this waiting list to contact individuals in the appropriate order to do everything possible to find a new guest who would love to fill your slot. guests may not find their own substitute unless ko is unsuccessful. if your registration is able to be transferred, you will receive a refund excluding only processing fees (approximately 5% of your retreat fee) and any potential guest-specific non-refundable costs, such as fees associated with individual dietary restrictions.

accommodations: if a minimum number of guests are not registered for Stitch & beach prior to December 31, 2024, ko reserves the right to find a smaller but equally fabulous retreat home more suitable for the actual group size. the itinerary will be unaffected, we will simply be based in accommodations more appropriately sized for the number of guests attending.

co-ed: while this getaway is exclusive in terms of availability, it is fully inclusive to all knitters! everyone is welcome to be a treasured guest for this retreat!

• if a co-ed group is traveling & able to fill a room together: 👌🏽👌🏽, you’re all set.

• if a room ends up co-ed and all guests within don’t know one another, ko will reach out to each roomie privately to be sure guests are comfortable with the arrangements.

• bottom line—don't wait to register as ko has created flexibility to make sure she can accommodate both single gendered and co-ed rooms.

additional guests: this luxury retreat is set up so that each guest has their own bed. there are no listings for shared beds. should you book a queen bed or larger and wish to bring a second guest, reach out KO for fee information regarding an additional guest once your registration is complete and the retreat is sold out. no unregistered guests will be admitted at check-in. whether your guest is a knitter or not, experiences are included in every fee as they are optional for all and retreat meals make up the primary per-person costs. guests that are sharing a bed will enjoy the same experience as all others. these guests will have a lower rate but it will be up to the party requesting the additional guest to settle-up financially. ko is unable to offer partial refunds for the original booking and will invoice the new guest at their adjusted rate. if you have booked a bed in a shared room, this guest must also be “approved” by the others in your room, as having an additional person will affect their retreat experience.

cancellation: if ko cancels the retreat for any reason, full refunds will be provided (including processing fees).
