About Vrabode
Vrabode markets and facilitates direct bookings of privately owned vacation rental homes on Martha’s Vineyard. Property listings, availability, rates, and descriptions are provided through our booking system and the property owners, and may change without notice. We work to keep this information accurate but do not guarantee that every detail is complete or error free.
Bookings and the rental agreement
Reservations are made through our third-party booking provider. Each property is offered subject to its own booking agreement, house rules, occupancy limits, cancellation policy, deposits, taxes, and fees, which are presented to you during booking. Those property-specific terms govern your stay and control if they differ from these general terms. A reservation is confirmed only when you receive a booking confirmation through the booking system.
Pricing, availability, and errors
Rates and availability are subject to change until a booking is confirmed. In the event of an obvious pricing or description error, we reserve the right to correct the error and to decline or cancel any booking affected by it, even after a confirmation has been sent. Where required, applicable state and local taxes and short-term rental fees are added to the reservation total.
Payments, deposits, and fees
Payments, security deposits, cleaning fees, and any additional charges are processed and held through our booking provider under the terms shown for each property. Refundable security deposits, where required, are handled according to the property’s booking agreement.
Cancellations and refunds
Cancellations and refunds are governed by the cancellation policy shown for each property at the time of booking and in that property’s rental agreement. Please review the cancellation policy carefully before you reserve.
