How Booking Works at Marea Cabo Stays
Booking at Marea is a request-and-approval process rather than instant checkout. Every request is reviewed by the people who care for the residences. These answers explain each step so you know what to expect.
Do I need an account or an invitation?
No. Anyone can browse the residences and send a stay request. You do not need to create an account or receive an invitation. Owner accounts exist only for the people who manage residences.
How do I send a request?
Browse the residences and open one that suits your group. Check its live calendar for open dates, choose your check-in and check-out, and continue to the request form. After you select a residence and dates, you share your contact details: your name, email, and phone number, plus the number of guests and an optional note.
Use the note for anything the team should know, such as arrival time or special requirements. If you are not sure which residence fits, you can start from the Request a stay page.
Is my stay confirmed when I submit?
No. Submitting sends a request. Your dates are not confirmed until the request is approved. The team reviews it and either approves or declines. You will receive an email about the decision.
What happens after approval?
When your request is approved, you receive an email with a personal payment link and deposit instructions. Submit payment within the 12-hour window shown in your email to keep the dates. Marea must verify the funds; read our deposits and payments FAQ for how that works. Keep your payment link private.
If your request is declined, it may be because the dates were no longer available or the residence could not accommodate the request. You are welcome to request other dates or residences.
How do prices work?
Each residence lists a nightly rate, and the request flow shows a price breakdown for your dates before you submit. The approved amount is the one stated in your approval email. If anything looks different from what you expected, reply to the email before paying.
Who do I contact with questions?
Reply to your request or approval email to reach the Marea team. Including your residence and dates helps them find your request quickly.
