We recommend our guests rent a car for their duration of their stay, as it makes it easier to tour the island and access restaurants, beaches, and grocery stores. We have 2 free private parking spots in our driveway and there is also free parking within the Gold Coast community.

If you're not interested in renting a car, you can certainly still get by. There is a restaurant within the Gold Coast community, the beach is a 10-15min walk away (not recommended for young children due to lack of sidewalks), taxis are reasonably priced, and there are buses that pass right outside our complex.

Our property manager will be there to meet you upon arrival. She will show you around the home and make sure your trip starts off on the right foot. If you have any questions or issues throughout your stay, she is extremely knowledgeable and will be more than happy to help.

Our unit is situated in the upscale Malmok region on the northern part of the island. We are located in the beautiful, quiet and secure 5-star Gold Coast gated community, across from the Tierra del Sol golf course.

We're only a short drive (2-3 minutes) from the white powder sand beaches and warm crystal clear waters of the Caribbean Sea. The Palm Beach district, with its countless restaurants, casinos and shops, is only a 5-minute drive away.

Rental Agreement:

We, the Renters (also referred to as “Tenants” and “Guests”) agree to the following:

1) PAYMENT DUE – All rental monies are due & payable according to the payment schedule agreed to and disclosed at the time of booking/reservation acceptance.

2) CANCELATION or EARLY DEPARTURE – There are NO REFUNDS for cancellation or early departures except as provided on the booking website at the time of your booking.

If no refund is due as per your cancellation policy, the Owner will make "best efforts" to re-rent the property. If the Owner successfully re-rents the reserved period, the Owner will refund to the Guest the total rental payment received for the reserved period, minus any administrative/management fees incurred, and up to the full amount paid by the Guest.

Renters understand that travel insurance for their protection is their responsibility. The Owner does not offer travel insurance, but such insurance is available through third parties. The Owner strongly encourages Guests to acquire their own policy to protect their vacation investment against unforeseen events.

3) HURRICANES & TROPICAL STORMS – There are NO REFUNDS for hurricanes, tropical storms or weather conditions.

4) CONDITION OF PROPERTY – Owners have, to the best of their ability, given an accurate description of the property and its condition. Guest understands that it is considered as reserved "sight unseen".

Cleaning staff will have the unit cleaned before the Guest arrives. All electrical, plumbing and appliances should be in working order. The failures of operation of certain extra amenities, such as TVs, cable, or the Internet and WiFi service are not a basis for any refund. The Owner will make every effort to have these items repaired but does not guarantee that they will be repaired during the Guests occupancy. Upon arrival, if the Guest finds that the house has not been cleaned to normal standards, the Owner should be notified immediately. The Owner will make best efforts have tradesmen attend to the problems but may not be able to fix everything over holidays and weekends, or if repair parts are unavailable on the island. Under no circumstances will any of the rental money be refunded or returned because of the condition of the house. The Guest agrees to hold the Owner harmless from any liability for the condition of the house.

The Guest will use the community property, community amenities, beach properties etc. at own risk.

5) CLEANING – The house will be cleaned prior to the Guests arrival. At the end of the rental term the Owner and/or Property Manager will arrange for the house and linens to be cleaned. This exit cleaning is included on the Guest invoice.

Please note that exit cleaning does not include washing dishes, emptying the dish washer or cleaning the barbecue grill. The Guest is responsible for these items.

During the stay, Guests are responsible for placing all garbage in plastic bags and transferring garbage to the large trash bins by the driveway. Community security staff will roll-in and roll-out the large bins to the curb once per week (typically Thursday/Friday) for city pickup.

6) REPAIRS – The Guest agrees to keep the house, furniture, and furnishings in good order, and to keep the house, walkways, and patios clean and free of debris. Removing, adding or changing furniture without the Owner’s written approval shall be deemed a material breach of this Rental Agreement, and is strictly prohibited. The Guest is responsible for the cost of replacement of any damage to furniture or the premises or missing items. The Guest should report to the Owner or Property Manager any damage or breakage that occurs. The cost of replacement or repair will be deducted from the security deposit collected unless covered by the Owners accidental damage insurance plan.

This clause is not intended to hold the Guest accountable for minimal damage (e.g. a chipped dish or a broken glass) that can result from normal and responsible day-to-day use.

Under no circumstances can any furnishing or linen be taken outside to the beach except for beach chairs, beach toys, beach towels, plastic cups.

7) ENTRY OF PREMISES – With Guest’s permission, the Owner may enter the premises during reasonable daylight hours without securing prior permission from Guest but shall give Guest notice of such entry immediately prior if possible and immediately thereafter. For inventory and maintenance purposes a property management employee of the Owner may need to enter the premises. The same permission procedure applies as above. In any emergency, the Owner or Owner’s servicing agents may enter the premises at any time without permission of Guest for the purposes of making repairs to alleviate an emergency.

If the Guest abandons or vacates the premises, the Owner may, at his option, terminate this agreement, re-enter the premises and remove all the Guest’s property.

8) ENTRY FOR POOL MAINTENANCE STAFF – Renters will allow the pool service staff to enter the yard area to service the pool as required. Servicing of the pool is scheduled for 30 minutes once per week typically on Saturday morning. Renters must refrain from entering the pool for 2 hours after the pool cleaning is completed. The pool service company has access to the yard by way of the keyless entry system located on the yard gate. They do not have access to the house. They will let themselves in and out of the yard by way of the backyard gate.

9) ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE INSURANCE – Renters will be completely responsible for any and all damage to the home or property caused by Renters, whether accidental or due to Renters’ negligence. Renters understand that Renters are responsible for damage beyond any coverage provided by the Owner’s personal property accidental damage insurance. Renters are also responsible for damage that would have been covered by the accidental damage insurance if Renters fail to advise the Owner of the damage and provide the necessary information that would allow the Owner to file a claim against the policy.

10) ASSUMPTION OF RISK – No lifeguard will be on duty at the private residence pool, community pools or beaches. Accordingly, persons using the private backyard pool, community pool, or ocean do so at their own risk and
