The Seasons
High Season runs
from mid-June through mid-September. The temperatures are warm and the streets
are crowded.Weekly rentals only.
The Shoulder Season
is April through mid-June and mid-September through the end of October. The
pace is more gentle and the weather remains gorgeous, most restaurants and
shops are still open. Typically 3-4 night minimum stays are available.
The Off Season is
from November through March. It is quiet in town at this time of year and some
actually prefer it to the summer months. New Years is the exception because
restaurants, bars and inns that have previously closed re-open while others
stay open through the holidays. It is a magical time of year, it is cold but
town is busy again. 3-4 night stays are available.
Rental Policies:
During the High Season properties rent for 7 night minimum and change over day is Saturday. Once you make a reservation a 50% deposit is due along with a signed lease. The remaining 50%, along with the security deposit, is due 30 days before your arrival. Should you cancel your reservation your deposit will only be refunded if the unit can be re-rented and less any difference in rental amount and commission. Security Deposits are not pre-paid rent, they are to cover damages beyond normal wear and tear.
Arrival time is between 3:00 pm and 5 pm. Departure is no later than 10am. This allows sufficient time for cleaning so that the unit is spotless and ready for the next vacationers. Standard practice is to leave the rental in the condition in which you found it. Keys can be picked up and dropped off at our office at 359 Commercial Street.
During the Shoulder and Off season, arrival and departure times are more flexible, we can often work with your schedule. The rental payment schedule and security deposits still apply.
All our properties have similar "rules:" No smoking, no pets, the occupancy stated in the description and on the lease is strictly enforced. All the properties we represent are in neighborhoods and we ask that tenants respect the neighbors and do not have loud and or late night parties. If a larger gathering with friends is an important activity for you we would be happy to recommend some wonderful bars, restaurants and special places to meet up.
