A two-night minimum stay applies during high season (May 1-Columbus Day). Please call for one-night availability. We may be able to accommodate your one-night stay if we have an opening.

Deposits

A 50% deposit is taken for stays of three nights or more. For two-night stays or less, a 100% deposit is collected at the time of booking. Lodging tax is 11.7%, plus the Cape Cod Water Treatment tax is 2.75%. We accept MasterCard, VISA and American Express. Deposits will not be refunded for failure to arrive, arrival after confirmed arrival date, or premature departure.

Balance payment

Balance will be charged to your card 14 days prior to arrival; a new confirmation will be emailed to you.

Cancellation policy

As a small business, cancellations affect us greatly. When a deposit is made, your room(s) is/are guaranteed for the entire stay, and guests are responsible for the entire balance of nights reserved. Cancellation received 15 or more calendar days (30 or more calendar days for stays of 7 nights or more, or when reserving multiple rooms) prior to your reserved arrival date will be refunded in full, less a $45.00 processing fee. For cancellations made less than 15 days in advance (or 30 days as noted above), refunds are subject to the re-rental of the accommodations.

Reservations booked through an online travel partner are non-refundable. Booking directly with us through our website or by phone will offer you the previously noted cancellation and refund options.

We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance to cover last-minute cancellation expenses.

WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND WHY

Below is a description of what information is collected and reasons for collecting it. The categories of information collected are as follows:

  • SITE VISIT TRACKERS
    Like most websites, this site uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user interaction. We use this data to determine the number of people using our site, to better understand how they find and use our web pages and to track their journey through the website.
    Although GA records data such as your geographical location, device, internet browser and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to us. GA also records your computer’s IP address, which could be used to personally identify you, but Google does not grant us access to this. We consider Google to be a third-party data processor. GA makes use of cookies, details of which can be found on Google’s developer guides. Our website uses the analytics.js implementation of GA. Disabling cookies on your internet browser will stop GA from tracking any part of your visit to pages within this website.

  • FORMS AND EMAIL NEWSLETTER SUBMISSIONS ON THE WEBSITE
    If you choose to subscribe to our email newsletter or submit a form on our website, the email address that you submit to us will be forwarded to a third-party marketing platform service company. Your email address will remain within their database for as long as we continue to use the third-party marketing company’s services for the sole purpose of email marketing or until you specifically request removal from the list.
    You can do this by unsubscribing using the unsubscribe links contained in any email newsletters that we send you or by requesting removal via email. When requesting removal via email, please send your email to us using the email account that is subscribed to the mailing list.

However, the email ID of the customer is deleted from their database as soon as the purchase is complete.
  • “DO NOT SELL MY DATA” – WHY WE DON’T HAVE IT ON THIS WEBSITE
    We do not sell personal information of our customers or of minors below the age of 16 years to third-party data collectors and hence the “Do not sell my data” opt-out button is optional on our website.
