Frequently asked questions
Here you will find some answers to frequently asked questions.
When is the best time to enjoy L'île d'Yeu?
We love every season and invite you to discover each one in more detail.
How do I make a reservation?
If you are sure of your choice, you can send us your name, postal address, email and mobile phone preferably, with your dates, and we will email you a confirmation, as well as the booking contract with all the details.
Pets
Are pets allowed?
It all depends on the house. Only nice and clean animals can be accepted.
What will happen if I come with my pet to a house that doesn't allow them?
Faced with the increase in the number of people arriving with their pets without having spoken about it beforehand, and the resulting nuisances (barking, droppings, trampling of the garden, allergies…) we are now sorry and forced to refuse access to the house to people accompanied by their pets, without claiming any compensation and without rehousing them.
Arrivals and departures
Do we have to arrive on Saturday?
No, on the contrary, you will be more serene on the road, and we will have more time to welcome you in the best conditions. The days of arrival depend only on other reservations. Check the calendars. We just try to avoid that there are 2 empty nights between two stays.
What are the possible days of departure?
It’s up to you. You can arrive on a Thursday and leave on a Monday, depending on our possibilities and schedules. Do not hesitate to ask us.
My house is located far from the pier.... How do I get to my house?
If there are no bikes included in your rental, ask your rental company when you book your bikes to drop off your luggage at home and we will meet you there. Remember to do the same on the day of your departure.
When bikes are included in the rental, we will talk about it when you have your boat, helicopter or plane schedule. We try to accommodate you, depending on the constraints: crowds, access to the port, sanitary restrictions…
In any case, we will do everything we can to make your arrival and your stay easier.
Deposit
How does the deposit work?
Some hosts require a deposit for the house. It will only be cashed after the departure of the tenants and in case of damage to the premises.
Others prefer not to ask for one.
But if they favor
trust
, this does not prevent, in any case, to warn your contacts on the spot in case of breakage, and to settle for a replacement.
The deposit is returned in accordance with the regulations.
What is the cleaning deposit?
When hosts have agreed with the tenants that the tenants will clean the house themselves, the cleaning deposit applies. Of course, this is only cashed if the house is not returned in the same condition as it was found.
How does the bike deposit work?
When hosts lend their bikes with the rental, the deposit serves as a guarantee that the tenants will take good care of them, and in particular that they will take care to put the locks on.
