Dear Prospective Owner:

Thank you for considering undertaking the services of Cayman Villas to act as your booking agent for short-term rentals.  We are a Caymanian owned company and have been operating the business since 1970 and currently represent over 70 beachfront properties scattered throughout the Cayman Islands. Our service is not limited to booking agent, we will supply keys and instructions to each guest upon their arrival, we will be responsible for submitting tax to the Department of Tourism and apply and hold the Accommodation License for your property.

We will be happy to meet with you and provide you with a package with some basic literature to help you understand the business: -

• BOOKING AGENCY AGREEMENT – This will tell you how we operate, our policies and obligations to each other.  Please note that we are a booking agency and as such do not get involved in property management. We can suggest property managers for you in the area near your villa and send you a sample contract on request.  The 4^th page needs to be completed by the owner (or proxy) of the villa before we can start booking the villa.
  
  
• BASE RATES – This is only available to agents and villa owners.  It is the list of villas we represent showing the nightly rate that is sent to the owners (Agents and Cayman Villas calculate their commissions from this base rate).
  
  
• LIST OF PERCENTAGES – All commissions (wholesaler/travel agents and Cayman Villas) as well as tax, gratuity (if applicable) and charges are added to the Base Rate to create the All Inclusive Rates (The Cayman Villas Listing). 
  
  
• INVENTORY – This is a general list of requirements, which we will need to have in place before we begin to rent your villa.
  
  
• APPLICATION FOR LICENCE – This is a copy of the request for a “Licence to Operate” which we submit to the Department of Tourism (with your payment of CI$250.00).  They will then organize (with your manager) to inspect the villa by an inspector from The Department of Tourism, Department of Environmental Health and the Fire Department.  On passing all inspections Cayman Villas will be sent a “Licence to Operate” which gives us the permission to book your villa.
  
  
• CAYMAN VILLAS BROCHURE - This is a generic brochure directed to both agents and clients outlining information about Cayman Villas.
  
  We hope that all this will encourage you to place your villa/condo with us so that we can in turn encourage guests to enjoy their stay in your property.  If you have any specific or extra requirements or restrictions, please feel free to discuss them with us.  Looking forward to hearing from you very soon. Call to arrange an appointment +(345) 949-4144.
