***ANSWERS TO SOME OF THE MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS***
1. How do 45 People Fit In 13 Bedrooms at The Ever After Estate?!?!
Each bedroom has either a King bed, a Queen bed, or two twin bunks. Therefore, the 13 main bedrooms sleep 26 guests. Additionally, the Estate has 14 twin rollaway beds, one full-sized futon, 9 luxury reclining theater seats, and couches! The remaining guests are either babies using our pack-n-play cribs OR adults/kids using their own sleeping bags, our couches, their own tents for camping... Most commonly: Teens/young adults using the fully-reclining luxury seats of our movie theater--which include blankets & pillows! (They tend to fall asleep in there after playing video games & watching movies on the giant screen until the wee hours!!!)
2. It Says You Have A 3 Night Minimum...but..I only need 1 or 2 nights...
Sorry, the minimum is in place for good reason BUT... If* we have a 1-2 night GAP in our calendar, then you can certainly fill THAT slot by special request! Say, for example, we have a guest scheduled to check out on a Wednesday and the next guest isn't checking in until that Friday. THEN, you could fill that 2 night Wednesday-Friday gap if you want to! Otherwise, just go ahead and book 3 nights-- You may choose not to sleepover the 3rd night--but at least you'll be able to stay on site as long as you want that last day---checking out late--- since you will have technically booked the Estate through the following morning!
3. How Much Does It Cost To Rent The Ever After Estate?
Most of the year, it's $1895-$2135/night. Departure cleaning is $888 and taxes are 11%. For exact prices, select dates here on VRBO. In the upper right corner, there will be an "average nightly" rate displayed with a "VIEW DETAILS" link right below it. There is a $285 fee if you book and then cancel. Deposits are refunded for cancellations up to 120 days before arrival.
4. Is It Negotiable?
Not at all, sorry! The Ever After Estate is a very special property. The owner's family only rents it out when they travel (which is 60-90 nights per year!) and they simply don't leave such an incredible home for less. Tremendous work goes into preparing for (and after) each guest and the rates accurately reflect how much the owner's need to recoup to make it fair to all. When you consider that most decent Central Florida hotels are $150-$250 per night (plus parking, fees, etc;) to sleep 2-4 people, surely you'll agree that $1900/night to sleep up to 46 people on your own privately gated 62 acre island is an excellent deal!
5. Cancellation policy? Your deposit minus a $285 booking fee and any applicable credit card fees will be refunded if you cancel more than 120 days prior to your scheduled check-in. This policy overrides any other posted on Homeaway/VRBO
