Simple Quality Rentals
This section lists properties that are of a simpler quality that haven’t been as updated or are in more of an “original condition.” All properties should be very clean, regardless of how updated they have or have not been! Renting a “simpler quality” property can often save you quite a bit of money!
Seasonal Rates:
*Peak summer rentals are weekly, and turnover days are designated in the property’s description. From time to time, certain condominiums in The Homestead may rent for less than a week in the summer (please inquire!).Fall, winter, and spring seasons have two night minimums, and holidays have three night minimums (with exception given to our “distance” properties, which always have three night minimums). There are also certain seasons, such as early spring, and very late summer, when we rent for full weeks in homes and cottages, and three night minimums in condominiums. However, with any season, we often have “last minute” flexibility and run special rates and deals!*
Please feel free to inquire with any questions regarding seasons and rate rules.
