Beach Houses in Paradise is unusual in the vacation-rental industry, inasmuch as our occupancy rates run at nearly 100%, due to our lower rates and higher service standard. This means that another family or group is checking out of your beach house at 11am, on the same day that you arrive at 5pm. Because it ordinarily takes the cleaning/restocking company 6 hours to properly clean, prepare, restock and sanitize the beach house for your arrival, early check-in is almost never available. For similar reasons, late checkout is also unavailable. However, owing to flight schedules, sometimes you may find yourself on flight that lands at a nearby airport several hours prior to check-in. (Or a late departure flight that doesn’t depart until late afternoon or evening). For these scenarios, each of our owners offers an economical solution: The half-day rate. With a half-day rate, you can check in to your beach house as early as 7am. (Or check out of your beach house as late as 11pm). In either scenario, the owners take the home off the market for the corresponding night, such that the cleaning/restocking company can prepare the house a day prior to your check-in (or the day after you check out). The half-day rate is exactly 50% of the rate for the night that will be taken off the market, to accommodate your early check-in (or late check-out). To take advantage of the half-day rate, please inquire for details.
