Revised cancellation policy for our villa rentals

We like to keep in step with changing times and the needs of our valued guests. Our cancellation policy has been revised, and we believe it is a most fair modification.

In the past, we had always required that in order to confirm a reservation, 1/2 (one-half) of the total rent due be paid within 10 days of receiving an invoice from our Reservations Department.  This has not changed.  However, the cancellation of that reservation once the confirmation payment has been received, has been reduced.

Now, instead of retaining 20% of the total rent, we retain 20% only of the amount on deposit. When the payment schedule is followed, this reduces the cancellation obligation to the renter by 50%. 

For more information on our rental and cancellation policies, and how they vary among the islands we serve, view the villa rental lease online on our web site.

If there are any questions, don't hesitate to email or call;  we are always happy to help!

Welcome back - St. Bernard's Hill House & Villa Morningstar (now CalypsoBlu)!

We are always pleased to introduce new villas for rent, but just as happy to welcome back friends which we have not enjoyed in a long time... in the month of March 2012, we had the distinct pleasure of seeing St. Bernard's Hill House (Tortola BVI) and Villa Morningstar (now CalypsoBlu, St. Thomas USVI) return to our portfolio!

Each is joyously refreshed and ready for new rentals!  Take the time to visit each villa on our web site (www.mclaughlinanderson.com) ... there you will see photos, virtual tours and live availability for these two awesome properties.

Post-Earl update: We are back.

Earl brushed by to our north, toppling some big trees, a few telephone poles and ruffling our lush island landscaping.  Within a couple of days the power was back on for the most part, and many businesses reopening.  The sun continues to shine, and there is still plenty of greenery all around.

Fortunately for our office, we were able to get up and running within the first hour of curfew being lifted this past Tuesday thanks to our trusty generator and the company that maintains it, Import Supply, and crack engineer at Broadband VI, Jody Davis for our internet connectivity and remote login capability.

Caribbean villa updates, Summer 2010

Summertime is a relaxing time for most, but for villa owners, it's a time for rejuvenation.  Many of our villa owners take advantage of the "slow season" to make improvements... here's what's happening at some of our fine luxury villas:
