We handle thousands of bookings per year, and our online calendars are real and updated in real-time. We don’t ‘hide’ any rentals.

Yes, the pictures are REAL and typically rephotographed every few years! That said, our homes are constantly being updated and enhanced, from landscaping to linen, so you may find slight differences. When rentals are photographed in the wintertime, the grass may be digitally ‘greened’ to show how it would look in the summertime.

When you have found a rental THAT IS AVAILABLE FOR YOUR DESIRED DATES, submit an online booking request. To book a property, we will need your exact dates of check-in and check out, full name, home and email addresses, cell phone number, and how many people are in your party. Our booking office will reach out to you to complete your booking. For every reservation, no matter the method of payment used, we will also need your credit card information to keep on file for any incidentals.

Yes. Prior to booking, you will receive a written quote from us with a breakdown of the nightly rate, cleaning fees and mandatory accidental damage insurance required with every booking. There are no surprises, so you can feel secure knowing that the amount you were quoted is exactly what you will pay. Of course, any extras that you specifically request before or during your stay (such as 24 hour pool heating or housekeeping during your stay, if available), will be quoted and charged at that time, in addition to your quote.

We always clearly specify all rates and fees prior to booking a reservation so there are no surprises for our customers. The rate we quote you will be the rate you pay. Our nightly rates vary seasonally. Busier seasons will typically have higher rates than the ‘off season’ rates. Nightly rates may also occasionally rise or fall to reflect true market conditions or if changes or improvements are made to the rental. Our fees, like cleaning service and insurance, generally remain constant except when our service costs rise.

We accept payment via Chase Quick Pay, Zelle, CashApp, Venmo, or PayPal, as well as via direct deposit into our account at any Chase branch nationwide. Other payment options include ACH, wire transfer into our bank account, check or cash drop-off at one of our offices. Any bank fees incurred as a result of wiring funds are the guests’ responsibility. Credit card payments are accepted with a 4% convenience fee added to your entire total amount.

Yes, and no. In order to confirm a reservation, some percentage of the total payment must be paid at the time of booking. The percentage amount varies, based on how far in advance the booking is: Bookings within 45 days of arrival, require full payment to reserve. Bookings made 46 to120 days in advance require a 50% deposit on reservation, with the balance due 45 days prior to your arrival date. Bookings made 121 days or more in advance, require a 10% deposit on reservation, 40% due 120 days before arrival, and the balance due 45 days before arrival.

Once we have requested to book, we will email you multiple important emails from us. To ensure receipt of these emails, please add Lakewoodhosts@gmail.com to your list of accepted email addresses. First, a confirmation quote with the total cost, along with a list of acceptable payment methods and their due dates will be sent. A rental contract will follow, and must be signed and returned to prior to checking into your villa. After your rental contract has been signed AND full payment has been processed, you will receive a final email with arrival instructions. If you have booked a reservation and have not received confirmation and/or payment instructions from us within 24 hours, please contact our reservations team at (305) 650-8830 or email us so that we can resend your confirmation email to your inbox.

Depending on the season and availability, we’re happy to try. Let us know your group’s needs and budget, and we’ll look into the options. Depending on how many villas you would need, we will work within our available inventory to try to find you the best “combined rate” for a “multi-property” vacation that fits within your budget, yet comfortably accommodates all the members of your group. Please note – These will be subject to availability, and are discounts are usually not available during the high season.

YES. EVERY PROPERTY HAS A MINIMUM BOOKING OF AT LEAST TWO NIGHTS, AND SOME HAVE A MINIMUM OF THREE NIGHTS with no option of Friday or Motzei Shabbos/Yom Tov checkout. If you go to any property, you can find the minimum number of nights for that rental under “Amenities”.

Yes… and no. Our homes are constantly being updated and enhanced to make your vacation that much more luxurious and comfortable. Improvements such as renovations, change-outs in linens, furnishings, patio amenities, and the like are common. What you see on the website is identical to what you will encounter once you check-in OR you may find yourself pleasantly surprised by updates made to your home that were not yet posted onto our website photo album. When rentals are photographed in the wintertime, the grass may be digitally ‘greened’ to show how it would look in the summertime. Feel free to ask us if a particular villa has had any such new updates that aren’t posted yet.

Absolutely! The property you requested and booked will be the one specially reserved for you. In the very rare event that we need you to switch accommodations due to a breakdown or necessary repair, we will let you know in advance and allow you to choose an alternate villa that is of equal or greater value at no extra charge. If we only have a villa that rents at a lower rate per night than what you have paid, we will refund you the nightly difference.

Sometimes. Once we have reserved a specific property for you, any change that you might want to make is subject to availability. In addition, in order to switch your villa of choice to an alternate one, we would have to be able to re-book the first house to another guest so as not to cause financial loss to the homeowner, on whose behalf we have already confirmed a booking for your specific dates. If and when those parameters are met, any change in rate from your original villa choice to your new choice would have to be collected in order to guarantee the new booking.

Occupancy may not exceed what is posted for each villa or suite. Maximum occupancy includes children. Infants that can sleep in a Pack ‘n play crib can be excluded from the count, but you must let us know in advance. State ordinances state that occupancy is limited to one person per bed, including children. You can find the maximum occupancy listed on the property page for each individual property. Many villas will have extra beds in the form of convertible couches, trundle/roll out beds, etc. Read the full property description for detailed information on exactly how guests your property can accommodate with all the available beds, counting the extras.

Cancellations and rescheduling of any reservation may be made up to 45 days prior to your arrival date, with the option of crediting any fees paid towards a future reservation or having a full refund issued. Cancellations or rescheduling of any reservation made with less than 45 days notice will result in 100% loss of all rental rate paid. Cleaning and Damage Waiver fees will be refunded back in form of original payment. If we are able to replace your reservation with another booking for any or all of your original reservation dates, a credit will be issued for the nights rented less a processing fee of $175. If the replacement booking is done at a lower nightly rate, this will be reflected in the amount of credit due to you. The above being said, we strongly recommend that our clients purchase travel insurance, which our office can gladly help you with.. Please note: Any credit issued must be used in full no later than one year past the date of the original arrival date (eg. if you need to cancel a stay with an arrival date of March 3rd, you have until March 3rd of the following year to use up the total credit amount.

Yes. We work with only the most reputable insurance companies to ensure your policy is fail-proof and hassle-free in the event you need to cancel your vacation.

The accidental damage waiver fee is mandatory with all of our rentals. It covers you for any accidental damage that may occur to the property during your stay. Accidents happen.
