Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I rent this Villa instead of a hotel?
In a word -- VALUE! By renting this luxurious Villa, you
definitely get more for your money. Imagine getting a fully furnished
home, your own private pool, and plenty of room to relax...and for less
than the price of a hotel! the lanai area provides a great place
to soak up some sun or enjoy dinner out under the stars, whle the screen
around the pool and lanai provides shelter from any pesky bugs.

prohibit people from travelling. Providing we receive
written/email notice of cancellation 10 weeks or more before the actual

will be assessed a short stay cleaning fee of £70 ($110).
Mid Stay Cleaning Fee - A mid-stay clean may be ordered

towels and a thorough clean of the entire house (excluding the
refridgerator and any cabinets where food is being stored).
Pool Heating - Pool heating may be added to any
reservation between September and May for an additional £15 ($25) per

pool heat. For electric heaters, if the OUTSIDE AIR temperature
drops below 60 degrees, pool heaters will not function. No refund

What is provided in the villa?
The better question would be....what ISN'T
provided?! Westbury Manor comes complete with a fully equipped
kitchen including a refridgerator, freezer, oven, range, microwave,
dishwasher, cookware, toaster, coffee maker, blender, dishes,
silverware, glasses, & utensils. There is also a full sized
washer and dryer. Our home also comes complete with 4 televisions

What do I need to supply myself?
While we try and provide each guest with everything that
they need, there are some items that are not provided in the
homes. While bath and hand towels are provided, you may want to
bring your own beach towels and wash cloths as these are not
provided. Starters of toilet paper, trash bags, and soap are
provided, but you may need to supply more of these as your journey
progresses. In addition, any basic toiletry items such as shampoo,
conditioner, etc. must also be provided by the guest, as well as food.
When are the times for check-in and check-out?
Our check-in time begins at 4pm, and check out must be
completed by 10am. In the event that you arrive in the area prior
to check-in time, you can call Cynthia or Frances at the Easy Choice
office on (+1) 863 614 1019 to find out if the villa is available
early. it is the sole discretion of the management company as to
whether or not an early check-in is provided. Please be advised
that it is not always possible to honour these requests as many times
the bookings are back to back and our cleaners need time to ensure the
property is in adequate condition for the incoming party. If you
are found to still be in the property after the check-out time, we
reserve the right to charge your credit card on file for an extra day,
unless other arrangements have been made prior to your departure.
What do I do in the event of an emergency?
In the event that anything should go wrong during your
stay, simply call the emergency number which is displayed in the
information pack in the villa and a member of the Easy Choice managment
will be more than happy to assist you with any issue you may have.
