Acceptance of Terms and Conditions

Upon making a Reservation, you are engaging in a legal rental agreement with Aruba Happy Rentals and thereby consenting to and obligating yourself to adhere to our Rental Terms and Conditions. These terms are applicable to all occupants of the premises, regardless of whether they have individually agreed to these specific Rental Terms and Conditions.

General

Requests to modify arrival or departure times must be made in writing at least 24 hours before the scheduled time and are subject to approval. Charges may be incurred for early arrivals or late departures.

Occupancy must not exceed the posted limit for each home, excluding children under three years old. The Reservation is confirmed only for the number of Guests declared in the Reservation. Aruba Happy Rentals reserves the right to cancel the Reservation without refund and expel all Guests if additional unapproved Guests are present on the property or if the home is over-occupied.

To secure a Reservation, the following conditions must be met: a Deposit of 25% of the reservation total is required upon booking, and the Guest named must be at least 21 years old and present at the property during the rental period. The remaining balance for the Reservation must be paid no later than 30 days before the arrival date.

Failure to complete the final payment by the due date (30 days prior to arrival) may result in the forfeiture of the Reservation and Deposit.
