TRAVEL AGENTS POLICIES
10% commission on overnight accommodations (pretax) all season excluding holidays and festival periods. Group or wedding block bookings are non-commissionable.
Email us after your guest’s departure to request your commission.
CANCELLATION POLICIES
Late cancellations have a significant impact on us due to our Island location and seasonal nature. Vacancies caused by early departures are considered to be cancellations and full payment of your reserved stay is expected.
Before confirming your reservation please check with your own state’s quarantine requirements upon your return from vacationing with us. These quarantine requirements are starting to loosen up significantly across the country for domestic travel. Refunds are not allowed for quarantine requirements in your own state so please determine this before you confirm your reservation with us.

If either the boats or the airplanes are operating to/from Cape Cod, we expect guests to arrive as expected whether or not they planned to arrive by boat or plane. If all transportation to/from Cape Cod has been canceled on a given day, then a credit toward a future stay – or refund – will be issued for that night’s lodging. Once transportation services resume, guests are expected to arrive for the balance of their reservation. Travel delays, air cancellations from locations other than Cape Cod, missed connections, medical or any other travel issues will not merit any credits or refunds. These potential unforeseen problems are best addressed with travel insurance, as mentioned above. In the unlikely event of a hurricane or severe weather conditions, refunds will only be considered after the storm and only if two or more nights are unable to be occupied after the storm
