Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to common questions.

Is Distinctive Stays the actual owner or a property management company?+

We're the owners! We personally manage our properties and take pride in knowing each one inside and out. When you book directly with Distinctive Stays, you're communicating with us—not a large management company or call center.

Coffee?+

We provide a Keurig and a regular drip coffee maker. We also provide ground coffee, powdered creamer, sugar, and a few k-cups to get you started. Please bring your favorites.

Can I check in early or check out late?+

Sometimes! It depends on our cleaning schedule and incoming guests. Reach out to us and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

How do I book a property?+

Choose a property, select your dates and guests, then continue to secure payment. Your reservation is confirmed after payment is received.

Is booking direct really better?+

Direct booking gives you direct host communication, instant booking, and no unnecessary third-party markup.

What is your cancellation policy?+

Cancellation and refund terms vary by property and dates. The policy applying to your stay is shown before payment.

Do you accept long-term stays?+

Some homes may support longer stays. Send a request with your preferred dates so availability and terms can be reviewed.

Do you offer airport transfers?+

Airport transfers are not currently included. Your host can help point you toward local transportation options.

Are your properties family-friendly?+

Several homes welcome families, while the waterfront one-bedroom retreats are designed for couples. Check the listed guest capacity for each home.

What amenities are included?+

Amenities vary by property and are listed on each detail page. They can include pools, hot tubs, waterfront access, kitchens, Wi-Fi, parking, and workspaces.

Is housekeeping provided during the stay?+

The Airbnb listings disclose recurring services where applicable, such as pool and lawn care. Ask before booking if you need additional housekeeping.

Are pets allowed?+

We love pets, but unfortunately our properties are not able to accommodate them. Keeping our homes pet-free helps us provide a clean, comfortable environment for all of our guests, including those with allergies and sensitivities. Thank you for understanding.

When do I receive check-in details?+

Paid and confirmed guests receive the exact address and property-specific arrival instructions two days before check-in.
