Thank you for choosing Okinawa Longstay Vacation Rentals. We offer furnished rooms under a fixed-term lease contract. The following terms and conditions apply to the use of our service through this website (hereinafter referred to as the “Service”).
Please read the entire text carefully before proceeding to the reservation/contract. By making a reservation, you are considered as agreeing to and accepting this Terms and Conditions of Use.
Vacation rental is a style of stay where “travelers temporarily rent a house from the owner and build their life on their own”. That means travelers can “rent a house by a reasonable price” but at the same time they need to “do things by themselves” for their living.
We do not have service concierge, so you will need to live on your own during your stay, such as going to the local supermarket to buy additional supplies if you need them, or taking insects out by yourself if they come in to the room.
Taking advantages and disadvantages of vacation rentals into consideration, we gladly support travelers who enjoy staying as if they were living there using our vacation rentals.
