Get Away Villas - Rental Policies

Arrivals – There is one complimentary arrival that brings the arriving guests to the car rental to pick up their reserved car and then escorts the party to their villa. NOTE: Arrivals after 6:00pm will incur a $60.00 charge (Monday-Saturday) and $75.00 charge (Sunday); which is payable to the greeter on arrival.

Cable Television – Each house has expanded cable, a few villas offer premium channels. Occasionally there is a problem with the cable television service. No one has any control over the cable service and repairs are currently taking between eight and ten days to complete.

Cancellation Policy - No deposits will be refunded unless a replacement rental is obtained. Should you be forced to cancel for ANY reason and a replacement rental is obtained, your deposit will be refunded, less 30% of the complete rental rate. No monies will be refunded unless a replacement rental is obtained.

Capacity Of Villa - Total guests permitted in the villa anytime are restricted to the number of guests who have scheduled and paid. Should a group be misrepresented, they must pay for the extra persons immediately or vacate the villa without a refund. Infants sleeping in a crib are not included in the total headcount.

Construction Noise - The St. John economy is thriving. Construction is every-where, even next door to some of our villas. Work begins at 7:00 a.m. and stops at 3:30 p.m. week days. We do appreciate your understanding in situations where construction exists.

Check-In - 2 PM is the earliest allowed check-in time. This allows the housekeepers to complete their cleaning duties.

Check-Out - 10 AM is the required check-out time. If there are guests arriving that day the housekeeper will be there at 9 AM to begin cleaning. If there is no arrival it may be possible to extend this time on a case by case basis. If no unless previous arrangements have been made there will be an assessment of $100 per hour or any part thereof for time in the house after the 10:00am check out.  These funds will be deducted from the security deposit.
