Zero-Fuss Arrival: How Our Concierge Pre-Stocks Your Villa with Groceries & Beverages

Imagine opening your villa door to find the refrigerator chilled, the pantry filled, and your favorite drinks ready—no errands, no delays, just vacation. That’s the promise of our concierge service to pre-stock groceries and beverages before you arrive. In this guide, you’ll learn exactly how it works, what to request, how fees are handled, and smart tips to make your first day on island effortless.

How Pre-Stocking Groceries and Beverages Works

Our goal is simple: have everything you want on hand the moment you check in. Here’s the straightforward process our guests rely on for a zero-fuss arrival.

The 3-step process (quick answer)

1. Share your shopping list and preferences with your dedicated concierge before you travel.
2. Your concierge purchases the items and pre-stocks your villa so it’s ready when you arrive.
3. The cost of items is added to your incidental account and is subject to a 15% administrative fee.

Your concierge begins planning before you land and remains available around the clock during your stay to adjust or replenish items as needed.

What to Include in Your Pre-Stock List

A clear, prioritized list helps your concierge shop efficiently and stock exactly what you want.

Everyday essentials

• Breakfast staples: eggs, yogurt, bread, butter, local fruit, cereals
• Pantry basics: olive oil, salt, pepper, spices, rice, pasta, sauces
• Fresh items: vegetables, greens, herbs, citrus
• Protein choices: fish, chicken, plant-based options

Beverages

• Still and sparkling water
• Juices and mixers
• Soft drinks and tonics
• Coffee and tea preferences (beans/grounds, milk options, sweeteners)

Snacks & treats

• Nuts, chips, crackers, dips, chocolate
• Beach-friendly grab-and-go items

Family & baby items

• Diapers, wipes, formula, purées
• Kid-friendly snacks and breakfast items

Wellness & special requests

• Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, or other dietary preferences
• Low-sugar or low-sodium options
• Celebration notes (e.g., a birthday cake request coordinated by your concierge)

Tip: If certain items are a must-have, mark them as “priority” and suggest acceptable alternatives in case a brand or flavor is unavailable.

Dietary Needs, Special Services, and How We Coordinate

Your villa experience can be tailored to your preferences, from everyday eating to special observances.

Dietary preferences, made simple

• Provide clear guidance on allergies, intolerances, and preferences.
• List acceptable substitutes for key items to avoid delays.
• Indicate quantities for fast-moving essentials (e.g., water, fruit, snacks).

Koshering Service

Koshering requests are facilitated in partnership with Rabbi Berkowitz, the island’s Chabad rabbi. Services can include full villa kosherization, assistance with Jewish life-cycle events, and providing Challah for Shabbat, all for an additional fee. Ask your concierge to coordinate.

Traveling with little ones

Your concierge can pre-arrange cribs, highchairs, and other baby essentials so they’re ready when you arrive. Babysitters are background-checked professionals trained in first aid and CPR and can be booked for a surcharge.

Private chef alignment

• Larger villas include a private chef; you only pay for the cost of food and beverages.
• In smaller, self-catering villas, you can hire a chef for single celebrations or full-stay service, with menus tailored to your group.

Pro move: Share your pre-stock list and any chef preferences together so your concierge can create a seamless plan for breakfasts, beach days, and special dinners.

Pricing Transparency and Fees

We believe in clarity so you can plan confidently.

• Groceries and beverages pre-stocked by your concierge are added to your incidental account and are subject to a 15% administrative fee.
• When you book activities and experiences directly with us, vendor charges are passed through at cost with no added mark-up. If you prefer to post extras to your villa account for a single payment at the end of your stay, a 15% administrative fee applies to those incidentals.

This structure ensures you receive seamless service with transparent accounting throughout your stay.

Timing and Planning Tips for a Smooth Arrival

• Start early: Your concierge begins crafting your itinerary before you arrive. Share your pre-stock preferences during this pre-arrival planning window so everything is in place on day one.
• Be specific: Itemize quantities (e.g., “2 dozen eggs,” “12 sparkling waters”) and note preferred sizes.
• Plan for day one and day two: Stock enough breakfast, snacks, and beverages to carry you comfortably through your first 48 hours.
• Consider your activities: If you’re planning beach days or boat excursions, add portable snacks and hydration to your list.
• Replenish with a message: Your concierge is available around the clock to top up favorites mid-stay.
