Why book direct
The same compound, less.
We’re listed on Airbnb, Booking, and Vrbo, and each platform’s fees are built into the price you see there. Booking on this site skips them — same compound, same dates, for less than the same stay on Airbnb (our September 2026 price checks).
What changes when you book direct:
- The rate you see is the rate you pay. No service fees, no host fees.
- You’re paying the people who own the property. Not a payment processor that deducts and remits.
- Cancellation is set by us, not the platform. Free up to thirty days, partial up to seven.
- Add-ons (chef, transfers, massages) are billed at our cost, not concierge-marked-up.
- If a problem comes up, you message us. We can act. Platform reps can’t.
What stays the same:The Compound, the team, the cleaning standard, the linen, the pool service, the photos. We don’t keep a quietly-worse direct experience to push you back to the platforms.
If you’ve already started a booking on a platform, message us with the dates and we’ll match the rate net of fees. The platform fee is the only difference.
