You can inquire about a property or its availability without committing to a booking.

You can reserve most holiday homes for 48 hours (2 days) without being committed to a booking. We refer to this as an "Option." Contact our reservations team to make an option on a property so we can reserve it for you for 48 hours.

Please Note: An ‘Option’ still requires all relevant data, such as travel dates, personal details, and the number of guests. Only one property may be reserved at a time.

In peak season from mid June to mid September many properties are bookable Saturday to Saturday only. However, some are flexible. Outside peak season most properties can be booked mid week.

In our booking search engine you will be prompted if the dates you searched for were not accepted due to Saturday being the accepted arrival day. If you need help with finding a holiday home that allows mid week bookings please contact our reservations team who will be happy to check for you.

Children, small children and babies must to be added as accompanying persons. The maximum number of guests as stated for each property must not be exceeded. Exceptions require the prior approval of the owner.

You can add more guests to your booking as long as the new total number of guests does not exceed the maximum number stated on the property description. In order to do this simply contact our reservations team who will need to confirm this for you. Please note, the rental cost may be affected by adding more persons if the holiday home’s price is dependent on the number of guests.

The security deposit is a cash deposit that is payable to the owner or key holder of the property at arrival and will be handed back to you at the end of your stay at check out after a short inspection of the property. Any damages that have occurred during your stay may be deducted from the cash deposit. The deposit instead is a % of the rental cost normally 35%, which is payable at the time of booking to confirm the booking.

It is always stated whether linen and towels are included in your rental of a property or whether there is an extra cost for these. If you are unsure please ask our reservations team who will be happy to clarify any questions you may have. In either case you may choose to bring your own linen and towels.

Final cleaning is the cleaning and getting ready of a property for the next party. The cleaning usually includes vacuuming or mopping, wiping clean all tables and work surfaces, cleaning the oven and fridge, washing and drying the linen, moving furniture back to their original positions, washing up dishes and generally tidying up. In some countries this is left to the guests however, since not all guests wished to adhere to this rule in the past it has been changed to a service that is provided by a person in charge of that property to ensure that the next clients find the property in good order. Therefore final cleaning is a service that is either included in the rental or charged extra. If an extra cost is indicated it is a compulsory extra cost.
