Important to know
Booking Directly Means Making Your Arrangements Directly.
Guests are responsible for confirming the property’s details, rental terms, payment instructions, cancellation conditions, and other arrangements with the host before sending money or agreeing to a booking.
Hosts are responsible for the accuracy of their listings, their authority to rent the property, compliance with applicable laws, and fulfilling the arrangements they make with guests.
The Direct Stay may use verification and moderation procedures to help reduce misuse, but these measures do not guarantee the identity, reliability, or performance of any participant.
Before paying, confirm the total cost, cancellation terms, deposit conditions, host identity, property details and payment instructions.
Important Disclaimer
The Direct Stay is an independent property discovery and communication platform, not a vacation rental agency, property management company, booking service or payment intermediary. Independent hosts provide listing information and make all rental arrangements with guests. The Direct Stay does not own or manage the accommodations and is not a party to resulting rental agreements. To the extent permitted by applicable law, it does not assume responsibility for independent transactions, cancellations, payment disputes, injuries, property conditions or nonperformance; no term limits legally non-excludable liability or consumer rights. Listing verification and moderation do not guarantee accuracy, safety or performance. Full Terms of Use, Host Agreement and Privacy Notice apply.
