Q: I see a boat lift in the pictures. May we use that during our stay?

Q: What is your cancellation policy?

  • A: If you cancel in writing up to 60 days before arrival, you will be refunded everything but our processing fee. If you cancel less than 60 days before arrival, any prepaid rent (less the processing fee) will be refunded ONLY if we are able to procure another rental for that same period. If no rental is procured, you will lose any prepaid rent, not to exceed the amount of your rental.

Q: What time is check in and check out?

  • A: Check-in begins at 4:00 PM and ends at 5:00 PM. Due to the size and complexity of homes in our program, our housekeepers and inspectors need every minute of the 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM window to ensure the cleanliness of your vacation home. We make every effort to ensure all homes are clean and ready for occupancy by 4:00 PM. Please do not buy groceries before check-in. We cannot let you into homes that are not ready, nor can we provide refrigeration facilities. In unusual circumstances, for whatever reason, it may be necessary to delay occupancy beyond 4:00 PM, until your home is ready.
  • A:  Check out time is 10 am.
