Services 2 details
For grocery stocking, guests send a list (typed or uploaded) at least 48 hours before check-in; the business texts a rough total, shops only after that estimate is paid, and sends a photo of the final receipt, with any small difference due before delivery.
SPI Host Helper offers grocery/fridge stocking, arrival setups and optional beach-day equipment bundles for vacation rentals.
Policies 3 details
Booking requires a 50% deposit upfront: $62.50 for the Standard Package or $87.50 for Premium, plus the full cost of any add-ons selected (add-ons are paid upfront, not at final billing). The remaining 50% balance plus the grocery total is due before check-in; the business texts the final total the day before arrival.
Cancellations 48+ hours before check-in get a full deposit refund; cancellations under 48 hours forfeit the deposit. If groceries were already purchased, guests are charged the full grocery cost regardless of cancellation timing (with a receipt provided, and unopened perishables offered for pickup or donation). Add-on payments (baskets, candles, flowers, etc.) become non-refundable inside 48 hours of check-in since those items are bought and prepped in advance.
SPI Host Helper does not purchase or resell alcohol itself. For any alcoholic beverages (including the 21+ Arrival Drink Display add-on), the guest must place and prepay for their own order under their own name through a licensed retailer; the business will pick it up and include it in the setup as long as it's ready at the scheduled pickup time.
