Any increase in numbers must be agreed in advance and may incur additional fees. 3. Check-in and Check-out a. Check-in is available from 2pm on the day of arrival. b.

Early Check in / Late Check-out We will try to accommodate requests for early check-in/late check-out, however they are subject to availability (i.e. other bookings in place, cleaners available to accommodate the request, maintenance schedule) and fees may apply. Despite any early applications, approval will only be granted 1-2 days prior to entry/departure if available. Early requests do not guarantee early access/late checkout unless a full day s rate is paid. Guests are required to contact us 1-2 working days prior to the date of the early check-in/late check-out to make final arrangements which will be recorded in the booking details. 4. Keys Keys will be available at the property upon arrival. Guests will be provided with 2 sets of the keys by the Property Manager. 5. Linen a. Linen and bathroom towels are provided.

Deposit The full booking payment is due at the time of booking. 7. Security Bond / Deposit a. Deposit: One guest s passport is the only deposit required. It is a non-negotiable requirement of Serenity Villa, that you provide a passport of one of the guests as a security bond for the villa. Our Property Manager Natalie will secure your passport in a safe in the kitchen in within Serenity Villa.

2 2 Your passport will never leave the house and will be handed back to you at check-out after the final inspection. No additional security bond or deposit is needed. It is common practice on the island to secure a passport of one of the guests to ensure the property is left undamaged. Unfortunately, in the past tourists have damaged villas and were untraceable, forcing the rental companies to insist on the passport as a security. Please be assured: We know Natalie very well. We have worked with her for many years and guarantee you that your passport is safely stored in within the safe in Serenity Villa. Your password will be returned when you leave the villa upon a final satisfactory inspection. b. Bond deductions are rare, however when we need to make a claim to compensate for damages caused, we will do so at the time of check-out or when you notified us about the damage, whichever is earlier. Please note: If you have caused any damage to the Villa or its property you will need to settle the account in order to receive your passport back. The sooner you inform Natalie, our Property Manager, of damages that happened, the sooner she will be able to get it fixed and settle the account with you. c. Any damage, loss or expense incurred by Management as a result of your breach of these Terms & Conditions will be charged to the guests. Examples of this include but are not limited to any breakage, damage or excess cleaning requirements, extra guests beyond those declared. d.

If a guest requests to cancel less than 8 weeks prior to the booking, we will relist the property and endeavour to re-book the villa for those dates. If the property cannot be let again for the exact same period, cancellations will result in a loss of the booking amount for the total period that cannot be re-let.
