IN A NUTSHELL: There are several housing options for the private rentals within the Finca Bellavista community. Each home is privately owned and each owner is responsible for their own rental - The Fusion Home merely provides a platform for the owners to advertise their home and some of the former Finca Bellavista staff to advertise their services. Once you have requested your selected dates and opted for any services, you will have 24 hours to review all information and make payment - if payment is not received within 24 hours then the dates will automatically be released and no further action from you is required. Payment can be made when making the booking through the website or later via email (please check your emails after requesting the dates). You can communicate directly with the owner of the home you wish to book through ' The Fusion Forum ' or after payment is received via the payment confirmation email (responding goes directly to the owners personal email address). Payment is handled through PayPal and goes directly to the owner - any additional services purchased will be paid to the former Finca Bellavista employee via the owner on your behalf (no one takes a cut). Once payment is received, you will be required to complete an online liability waiver in order to explore the Finca Bellavista grounds and given contacts in order to coordinate your trip with your meet and greet hosts - Bryan and Jess.

Responding to this email will go directly to the owner of the tree home - please continue using this email for further correspondence, cancelations, additional questions etc. *You do not need a 'PayPal' account in order to make payment.
