What
you should know
Reservation Procedure- Once you
have decided on a vacation property we can put a hold on it
for 48 hours to allow you time to firm up airline reservations
etc. We will email you out a booking form for your completion.
On this form we ask for airline information, car rental information
and payment information
50% of the booking cost is due at the time of booking with the
remainder due at the 60 day mark.
Arrival- upon your arrival you
will be met at either the airport or the car rental agency (as
decided in advance) we will go with you to the house and show
you around and point out anything you may need to know, such
as how to turn on the a/c.
Check-in- unless otherwise noted,
check in is at 3 pm. If you arrive early we will show you to
the house if it is still being cleaned, find you a place to
store your luggage to allow you to do a bit of exploring while
you wait.
Check-out – Check out time
is 11 am. Often we have parties leaving and arriving on the
same day so a late check out is not possible. We will endeavor
to accommodate you when possible. In cases where the unit is
not vacated when required there will be a penalty of an additional
days rent.
Security, - while we still boast
the lowest crime rate in the Caribbean a little common sense
goes a long way. Houses should be locked up at night and when
you are away. Many of the villas have safes for your money and
your valuables.
Construction- If there is construction
in the area at the time of your booking we will tell you about
it. However, the island is growing fast and we are not always
aware of plans. We therefore cannot give refunds based on construction
in the area.
Cancellation Policy- Should you
have to cancel for any reason prior to 60 days there will be
a $100 charge. Should you wish to cancel after that period no
refund can be made. We recommend the purchase of Cancellation
insurance.
Additional charges- Internet-
except where stated internet charges will be billed to you.
Maids- your rental includes a midweek clean. Additional maid
service is available at an additional charge.
Tax- there is a 10% government tax on all our rentals.
Damages- a liability form will be signed on check in and any
damages to the house will be charged to the occupant.
Air conditioning- power on the island is about 6 times what
it in North America. For this reason many homes have the a/c
metered separately to discourage misuse.
Excessive cleaning- if a house is left in a state that requires
extensive cleaning those costs will be passed on to the tenant.
