Never! Since you will be renting directly from us (the owners), there is no 3rd party overhead or marketing to cover. This is the sole reason we decided to build this site…to keep money in your pocket! Service fees charged by the OTA’s (Online Travel Agencies) for staying a week with us in the summer can be as high as $400. We firmly believe that you can better use this money at local restaurants and shops during your stay. 98% of our returning guests book direct with us vs. through an OTA because of the fee. That said I know some of you are tied to your credit card points so of course, feel free to book via any one of the OTA’s we’re listed on.
Check-in is at 3:00 PM Eastern Time and check-out is at 11:00 AM Eastern Time.
Yes, we require a minimum stay of 2 nights during most periods throughout the year. During the summer high season, Memorial Day thru Labor Day, we are weekly only.
When you decide on your arrival and departure dates, you can request a stay via the “Contact Us” inquiry option here on the site. Once we confirm the rates and dates, we’ll put together an occupancy agreement for review and signature. This agreement, coupled with your deposit, is due within five days and then your reservation will be officially confirmed. We will place a hold on your dates for those days while we await your agreement and deposit. We require 50% of the total rental rate (lodging + cleaning + tax) along with the occupancy agreement to secure the reservation. 45 days from your arrival, the remaining 50% + security deposit is due. Our standing security deposit is $350. Assuming there are no damages at your departure, the refundable damage deposit will be returned within 10 calendar days. If your arrival is within 45 days of booking, the full amount is due with the booking along with the signed occupancy agreement.
Currently, we accept personal checks, Zelle and Venmo.
Fairways has a keyless entry system and you’re assigned a code prior to your arrival. Both doors to the main area of the house are keyless.
The deposit is refundable less a 10% cancellation fee (not to exceed $200) outside of 60 days prior to your arrival date. No refunds are given if your cancellation is received less than 60 days prior to your arrival date unless we re-rent the property for those same dates. In that case, only the cancellation fee applies. There is no refund for early departure.
Fairways is a smoke free home and smoking can only take place outside of the home. If it is determined that someone smoked in the home while occupying the house, a fee of up to $200 can be levied for your stay. If/when smoking outside, please know that our deck is all wood and we are up in the trees with leaves, etc., all about.
Dogs are allowed (up to two) but require pre-approval and there is a $75 fee charged per pet per stay. No cats are allowed due to serious allergies by the owners and their children.
