Is there is minimum night stay requirement?
There is a standard minimum stay requirement of 3 nights (5 nights during the holiday season). If you would like to book fewer nights than the minimum required and your nights fill a gap between existing reservations, we may choose to waive the minimum stay requirement and accept the booking.
How much is the deposit for a rental?
- If you book in advance (66 or more days before arrival) we charge 25% of the reservation total at the time of booking.
- If you book closer than 65 days prior to arrival your balance will be due in full at time of booking.
When is my final payment due for my rental?
- All final payments are due 60 days prior to arrival.
- If the reservation is made fewer than 60 days prior to arrival the entire payment will be expected at the time of confirming the reservation.
What is the cancellation policy?

- For reservations made that begin in 7-60 days, guests have 48 hours to cancel for a full refund.
Do you offer travelers insurance?
Yes, we do offer travel insurance through Generali. It is 6.95% of the total reservation cost. Once it is charged it is nonrefundable. You can add the travel insurance up until the day the balance is due on your reservation. We strongly RECOMMEND that guests purchase travelers insurance in case of unforeseen circumstances that may necessitate canceling the reservation. Our cancellation policy does not make exceptions for medical emergency, death in the family, etc. You MUST have trip insurance or you risk losing all the money you’ve paid for your rental.

What happens once I am on the island and something goes wrong with my rental during my stay?
If something goes wrong when you arrive at your rental, please call us at the main office ASAP, so we can fix the issue as quickly as possible. If you have an after-hours emergency, please call our emergency line for assistance. Occasionally problems arise that do warrant compensation to our guests. However, please note that if you do not notify us of a problem, we cannot attempt to fix it, and will not issue any refunds for problems that weren’t brought to our attention.
