PLEASE NOTE:
  • Vacancies caused by early departures are considered to be cancellations and full payment of your reserved stay
    is expected and non-refundable.  Late cancellations have a significant impact on us due to our island location and seasonal nature.
  • We understand emergencies can come up last minute that are unexpected.  We highly recommend travel insurance (see above link) to protect your investment as we must adhere to our cancellation policies to all guests.
  • Check-in time (Hotel) is at 4:00 p.m.
  • Check-out time is at 10:00 a.m.

If the boats are operating to/from Hyannis, we expect guests to arrive as expected whether or not they planned to arrive by boat or plane. If all boat transportation to/from Hyannis has been canceled, including the traditional car and passenger ferries and the fast ferries, with no trips operated at all on a given day, then a credit toward a future stay – or refund – will be issued for that night’s lodging. Once transportation services resume, guests are expected to arrive for the balance of their reservation. Travel delays, air cancellations, missed connections, medical or any other travel issues will not merit any credits or refunds. As mentioned above, these potential unforeseen problems are best addressed with travel insurance. In the unlikely event of a hurricane or severe weather conditions, refunds will only be considered after the storm and only if two or more nights are unable to be occupied after the storm.
