How to Rent a Villa
Why Rent a Villa
Villas provide a hassle-free vacation from start to finish. Villa rentals offer a human element that no other type of accommodation can supply. After you try a villa rental vacation, hotels are not an option.
Here's the skinny on villa rentals:
There is a villa for everyone... not just for the rich and famous with big celebrity budgets. Villa rates vary depending on the villa, but there is always just one price to split between everyone. That includes the house, all of its amenities, and dedicated staff in most cases. With several families or couples traveling together, even the most luxurious villas can be a more economical option than hotels.
Villas of all sizes are scattered across the Casa de Campo resort, so finding the right one is never a problem. Choose your villa with beach front, golf front, river front, or sea view, it is your choice. Let us help you find the right villa for you.
Villas are not time-shares:
They've got nothing to do with destination clubs and you don't have long-term commitments. These homes are luxurious private residences made available by their owners as vacation accommodations. You can rent a villa at any time of the year, for a week or two or even longerno fixed dates, no blackout periods.
How Do I Rent a Villa?
Renting is a very simple process. Start with a simple request for information. You can call us from the beginning, or use our website. Search our listings and add the villas you like to your favorites. Once you have narrowed it down to one or two villas contact us to find out availability. Tell us your interests and when you plan to be traveling. We take it from there, assigning a villa specialist to guide you through in selecting the best villa based on your needs and travel dates.
But choosing your villa is just the beginning.
When you decide on a property, our guest services will help you customize your vacation experience with extra services tailor-made for you. Have a sailing tour, skeet shooting, tennis games, tee-times at one of the three Pete Dye golf courses, and much more reserved in advance. Even have all your favorite foods stocked in the fridge and a maid, cook and/or butler. That's all part of the complimentary concierge service offered by Jackie Arvelo Properties. (Note: In most cases the maid service is included. In some cases, Chefs are also included. Check the )
When you arrive, we pick you up and take you to your villa. Our guest services will be there to guide you through the villa's unique ins and outs. Our Guest Services representatives are also just a phone call away if you ever need anything.
Finally, Casa de Campo Golf & Villas works with you after you've returned home to settle any outstanding orders of business (ie returning your security deposit). We're also happy to receive photos from your trip and comments on your stay. Knowing that we your stay was relaxing and everything you dreamed of and more is the best part of our jobs.
From start to finish, renting a villa is an easy, enjoyable process and one that a hotel will never be able to match.
