Frequently Asked
Questions
How much can I earn by renting my Block Island home?
Earnings vary based on location, size, and season, but most homeowners see significant returns — especially with dynamic pricing strategies that capture peak demand. We’ll provide a custom revenue projection during your consultation.
What happens if something breaks during a guest’s stay?
All guests pay a fee for a damage insurance policy. We coordinate repairs quickly with trusted local vendors and have it covered by the insurance. If there is a maintenance issue not caused by a guest, we can help you coordinate repairs to get the house back to renting as fast as possible. Whether it’s a minor issue or an urgent call, your property is protected during the rental period.
Do I need to furnish or supply my home?
We provide linens, towels, beach gear, and essential guest amenities. There is a list of items we require you to have in your house, but most are the basics you probably have already. If needed, we’ll guide you in preparing your property for rental.
How do payouts work?
All guest payments are securely held in escrow until check-in. You’ll receive detailed reports and payouts weekly by direct deposit or mailed check.
What if I want to use my home during the season?
You’ll always have full calendar access. Block out personal stays anytime, and we’ll manage the rest of the bookings around your schedule. We ask that you look at your schedule well in advance as we will not cancel guest reservations once made.
What’s your cancellation policy for guests?
We enforce a clear 60-day cancellation policy, with flexibility when dates are rebooked. This ensures you’re protected while still offering fairness to travelers.
