Booking terms
Last updated: October 31, 2026
These apply to both properties: the Water View Modern Villa in Jamestown and the Oceanfront Modern Cape in North Kingstown.
Cancellation
- 30 or more days before check-in: full refund.
- 14 to 29 days before check-in: 50% refund.
- Fewer than 14 days before check-in: no refund, unless the dates are rebooked.
Payment
Payment is made online through Stripe when you book, by card, Apple Pay, Amazon Pay or Klarna, for the full total shown. For stays that start 45 or more days away you may instead pay a 30% deposit by card when you book. The remaining balance is then charged automatically to the same card 29 days before check-in, just after free cancellation ends. If the balance charge fails we will contact you, and the booking can be released if the balance is not paid within 3 days. Your dates are confirmed once the payment succeeds, and are held for you while you pay. If you send a request instead, we confirm it and send you a secure payment link. We never ask for payment by Venmo, wire transfer or any other off-site method. If anyone asks you to pay that way, it is not us.
Security deposit
A refundable $500 security deposit is placed as a card hold on the card you booked with a few days before check-in; it is not part of the online payment at booking. It is released within 7 days after checkout if there is no damage.
House agreement
- Check-in is 3 PM and checkout is 11 AM. Early check-in and late check-out are available by request, not guaranteed.
- Minimum stay: 5 nights for July and August check-ins, and 2 nights for check-ins the rest of the year. Shorter summer gaps between stays can be booked: a stay that fills a whole open gap of 2 or 3 nights between other bookings is allowed.
- Maximum guests: 8 at the Water View Modern Villa and 9 at the Oceanfront Modern Cape. These are the legal occupancy limits for each property.
- No parties or events.
- No smoking.
- Pet friendly: well-behaved pets are welcome at both properties for a fee of $75 per pet per stay, for up to 3 pets. The pet fee is added to your booking total.
- Quiet hours are 10 PM to 8 AM.
- The primary booker must be 25 or older.
Direct rates
Nightly rates include Rhode Island taxes. A cleaning fee of $250 applies per stay at both properties and is shown as its own line, along with any pet fee. There are no booking-site service fees. The total shown for your dates is the price you pay.
Travel insurance
We recommend optional trip insurance from a third-party provider of your choice, to cover cancellations or changes to your plans that fall outside the cancellation schedule above. Trip insurance is not required to book, and we are not affiliated with any insurance provider. Compare trip insurance (opens a third-party site in a new tab).
Rhode Island taxes
Rhode Island sales and hotel taxes apply to stays and are included in the total quote, whether shown at booking or confirmed by us.
