RESERVATION/SECURITY DEPOSIT - Renter(s) reservation will be confirmed upon receipt of a refundable security deposit and owner approval. Peak period bookings generally require a larger refundable security deposit. Monthly bookings require 25% deposit as well as the damage deposit due at time of booking. Deposit will be held pending determination that upon departure Renter(s) have left the Vacation Property and contents in the same condition it was upon arrival, and there are no outstanding charges i.e. telephone, extraordinary cleaning services, repairs, damage, loss of inventory, excessive use of electricity, etc. at which time it will be refunded or credited back to the Renter(s) credit card, less any outstanding charges, within 5 business days from departure. In the unlikely event of additional cost over the security deposit, Renter(s) will be notified and billed appropriately.

Full rental payment must be received no later than 60 days prior to arrival or reservation may be cancelled without refund unless the reservation is made less than 60 days from the actual rental date, in which case payment is due at the time of reservation. As a courtesy, we offer a payment plan when applicable. If you select the payment plan 50% of the rental payment will be due 60 days prior to arrival and the balance will be due 30 days from arrival. Please note the cancellation policy remains the same whether the payment plan is chosen or not.

POOL DISCLAIMER/ASSUMPTION OF RISK:

  1. There is no lifeguard on duty. Persons using a vacation home pool or pool/spa do so at their own risk and the Owners assume no responsibility for accident or injury. Your vacation home is equipped with a pool or a pool/spa that is heated by the pool's electric heat pump; when heated the maximum temperature for the pool is 87°F.

  2. Please understand that it is not possible to guarantee the temperature of the pool or spa which to some degree is dependent on the local weather. Guests should note that electrically heated pumps will warm a pool or spa on a Florida home to the operating temperature of 75-87 degrees Fahrenheit in 24-48 hours - depending upon the ambient air temperature. Electrical pool heaters utilize a heat exchange pump. If the outside temperature at your vacation home drops below 55 degrees Fahrenheit, then the pool heater will not operate, and the pool/spa will not be heated. If the overnight temperature drops below 50, the pool/spa may not be able to return to the operating temperature range during the following day.

  3. Guests should also note that pool heat cannot be guaranteed, as sometimes mechanical devices fail, or environmental factors will not allow the pools/spas to be heated. Guests must notify the owner of failure of pool heat on the day of occurrence, so that the temperature or the equipment can be checked by personnel.

  4. Owners will do their best to keep it operational; however, they cannot guarantee its operation all or any of the time of occupancy. Renter(s) should inspect on arrival. Owners will not be responsible to clean the pool/spa during Renter(s) stay; however normal maintenance of pool/spa service will be continued and Renter(s) must allow pool service staff entry to pool area.

SWING SET DISCLAIMER/ASSUMPTION OF RISK - Designed for children, persons using the swing set do so at their own risk and the Owners assume no responsibility for accident or injury.

BARBECUE FEE - When provided, barbecues are for our guest's enjoyment. Please be careful when using the equipment and clean up any spills straight away. The barbecue and surrounding area must be left in a clean and satisfactory condition.

TROPICAL CLIMATE - Guest understands that insects, rodents and lizards unfortunately flourish in tropical environments. Guests understand that the Owner makes their best effort to hold to an absolute minimum your interaction with these pests. Contact with a pest inside or outside of the home does not constitute a reason for termination of the agreement nor is it a reason for a refund of your monies. Any issues regarding pests must be reported immediately to allow the Owner to have a reasonable amount of time to address the issue during your stay. Any issues presented AFTER check out cannot be remedied and are not cause for compensation to Guest.
