On-page FAQs (copy/paste)
How late can I book for Spring Break?
True last-minute bookings happen 7–14 days out and, in rare cases, 48–72 hours before arrival. Inventory moves fast, so be flexible on dates, island/area, and bedroom count. We can place a complimentary 24-hour hold on a viable villa while you confirm flights and guests.
Minimum stay & arrival rules?
Peak Spring Break weeks are typically 5–7 nights, often Saturday–Saturday. Some homes allow 4-night gaps between longer bookings. Arrival/departure rules vary by villa—share your dates and we’ll surface options that match your window.
Flexible hold/cancellation options for last-minute stays?
Inside peak windows, policies are usually non-refundable once paid. Where possible, we’ll request a 24-hour courtesy hold and explore date shifts or guest-name edits if plans change. We strongly recommend CFAR (Cancel For Any Reason) insurance on airfare and incidentals.
