OTHER
• REMINDER ,,,,Effective July 1 2019 the state of Massachusetts has enacted an Occupancy Tax on short term rentals.....the 2020 Tax Rate for Dennis is now 14.45% and is due on the full rental rate and any services like cleaning and linens. We are sorry for this added cost but we have not control over this.
• We require a $250.00 deposit. At the time of final payment this converts to your refundable security deposit.
• Once you send us your deposit your rental dates are secured and we will send your confirmation/rental agreement. Final payment will be due 60 days prior to your arrival date.
• The cottage is a non-smoking environment inside and outside and we regret due to allergies it is also not pet friendly.
• Cleaning fee exception - ** During short stays it is difficult to assess/divide the cleaning fees fairly over the course of your stay to pre-set a nightly rate as we do not know how many nights a guest will choose to stay. If we divide it by three night and you choose four you would overpay and we do not want our guests to be treated unfairly. So, on all stays we now assess the cleaning flat fee of $75.00 separately as a per stay charge.
• If you choose to pay for your rental via credit card or PayPal not using the Send Money feature please let us know ahead of time as we will need to adjust your totals to include the 3% fee that they will deduct to the amount that they pay us. Thank you for understanding as we keep our rates low.
