Payment & policies

How payment works for direct bookings

Pay by Zelle, Cash App or Venmo, after we confirm your request. No payment is taken on this website.

  1. Send a request

    Choose your dates on Book Direct and send a request. It isn't a reservation yet, and nothing is charged.

  2. We confirm by email

    We check availability and your final total, then email you the deposit, balance and cancellation details with payment instructions.

  3. You pay, we confirm

    Pay using one of the methods below. Your dates are booked once we receive your payment and confirm it to you.

Pay safely. Send money only after we confirm your request by email, and only to the details in that email or on this page. Never follow payment instructions from anyone else, and never pay before you hear from us. If something looks off, contact us at [email protected] first.

Zelle, Cash App and Venmo are independent services with their own terms and fees. Payments sent by mistake or to the wrong account can be hard to recover, so double-check the details before you send.
