RENTAL TERMS AND HOUSE RULES- WE WILL ASK FOR AN EMAIL ADDRESS AND SEND A COPY OF THIS RENTAL AGREEMENT TO THE GUEST.

1. Deposit, Payment and Cancellation Policy: A NON-REFUNDABLE deposit of $250.00 applied towards the balance is due when a guest wishes to book a property. The balance is due by check 61 days prior to the stay. The entire balance is due if booked within 60 days of arrival. All monies paid to date are non-refundable if reservation is cancelled within 60 days of the stay. NO EXCEPTIONS. For reservations after May 29, 2020, we are not offering credits or refunds due to COVID 19. The COVID 19 situation is a foreseeable event and the risk of travel is known by the traveler at time of booking. We offer at time of booking, and encourage travelers to purchase, travel insurance by CSA Generali which covers trip cancellation subject to the plan description of coverage. There are many other providers whom you can choose to buy from directly. If a guest wishes to pay the balance by credit card a 3% processing fee will be added to the total owed. (This is our standard policy if booked direct. If you book through a listing site such as AIRBNB you will pay them according to their terms. )

2. CHECK IN IS AFTER 4:00 PM. PLEASE PLAN AND CHOOSE YOUR VACATION ACCORDINGLY. We will text you a four-digit touch screen deadbolt code and other access information around 4:00 PM on day of arrival to the number on file when the home is ready. We kindly ask that you not arrive at the home until we have delivered your code and let you know the home is ready for you. In high season early check in is usually not available. If the home becomes available sooner and we wish to grant early check in, we will let you know. On the day of check in please have access to your email and/or a phone to receive texts in the US. International customers can receive access info by email on day of check in. Check out requests after 10:00 AM are usually not allowed and will result in ½ day's rental rate only with prior approval.

3. Rental Restrictions: Primary Renter must be a minimum age of 25 years to secure and check in to our properties. All guests must be 25 years of age unless they are family members of the renter and/or accompanied by the renter always.

4. If you leave the unit in poor condition, we reserve the right to charge your credit card for any additional cleaning accrued by Florida Sun Vacation Rentals from the cleaning company assigned to your unit. Crew leaders will use their discretion as to what the additional charge(s) will be. We will supply pictures for you to review.

5. GUEST AGREES THEY ARE A TRANSIENT TENANT and a TEMPORARY guest in our properties. In the unfortunate event rules are not followed and/or broken or guest creates a disturbance or in the sole opinion of the owner or owners’ agent that guests continued stay would be detrimental to the home the guest agrees to vacate the premises immediately upon written or oral notification. Failure to do so is a crime and the Sheriff will be called to evict everyone. All monies paid to date will be forfeited.

6. No refunds should be expected for mechanical breakdowns. Major appliances such as AC unit, pool heater, washer and dryer, and others are maintained regularly, but mechanical breakdowns are possible at any time in any home. In the event of a breakdown guest will inform FSVR timely. The owner or owners’ agent will expeditiously repair items in the best interests of the property and in a timely manner as to minimize the inconvenience to guests whenever possible. The owner and owners’ agent at their sole discretion will schedule and be afforded access during normal working hours 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM to perform necessary repairs and/or maintenance. In the unlikely event a home becomes uninhabitable we will refund any unused nights at our discretion.

7. Doors, Windows and Air Conditioning. The thermostat for air conditioning cannot be set below 73 degrees. Likewise, in the rare instance heating is needed we do not allow turning above 73 degrees. We have found this temperature to work for the vast majority of people over many years. In most of our properties the thermostats are limited to within a safe range to prevent damage or overuse of the unit, and intentional or inadvertent misuse. PLEASE CHOOSE AND PLAN YOUR VACATION ACCORDINGLY. It is imperative that you keep shades drawn, utilize the fans in the home, and keep doors and windows closed to increase AC efficiency. Failure to do so will result in higher temperatures, and less efficiency. We discourage leaving windows and doors open at anytime as the harsh salt air is very damaging to everything.

8. People other than those in the Guest party set forth above may not stay overnight in the property.

9. All the units are privately owned; the owners or owners’ agent are not responsible for any accidents, injuries, death, or illness that occurs while on the premises or its facilities. The owners or owner’s agent are not responsible for the loss of personal belongings or valuables of the guest. By accepting this reservation, it is agreed that all guests are expressly assuming the risk of any harm or loss arising from their use of the premises or others whom they invite to use the premises.

10. We reserve the right to refuse service or cancel a reservation at any time for any reason.

At our properties one set of linens, bath towels for the maximum guest count and (6) pool towels are included in the unit as a rule. Additional towels can be brought by the guest and are the responsibility of the guest. We do not permit towels or linens to be taken from the unit with the exception of beach towels, which must be returned to the unit upon checkout. You are responsible for the condition of the towels and/or loss. All beach towels and dishes should be washed prior to vacating the unit. Last load day of departure use White Towels should be started and running upon checkout using the laundry soap and bleach tablets we provide. Your cleaning fee covers your sheets and one load of white towels in our properties just in case you are unable to get them started. We appreciate your thoughtfulness with this item as it makes a tremendous difference in getting the unit ready for the next guest who may be checking in a few hours after you depart. Also, it prevents tons of wet towels from sitting on the floor. Sheets that are used should be stripped from the beds and placed together for managers offsite professional cleaning.

16. Paper Products and Cleaning Supplies: We typically provide a starter roll of toilet paper for each toilet and one roll of paper towels. There is usually, garbage bags, cleaning detergents and dish soaps in the home. However, this is done as a courtesy and cannot always be guaranteed. Guests are responsible for all garbage bags, paper products, toiletry items, soaps, shampoos, cleaning agents, etc. during their stay.

17. Kitchen Supplies: This property is stocked with plates, cups, bowls, and utensils for up to maximum guest count as a rule. A selection of spices and cooking oils are usually in the unit and often paper plates/napkin products. However, neither can be guaranteed as this can fluctuate due to loss or use. We require guests understand that all efforts are made to ensure enough kitchen supplies but on rare occasions there could be loss or damage that is not immediately replaced by the cleaning staff or the owner.

18. Storms and Adverse Weather: If there is a storm, adverse weather or hurricane, no refunds will be given. We encourage travelers to purchase Trip Cancellation Insurance at booking.

19. We are not a hotel. We are sharing one of our owners’ home with you. All our properties are high quality properties cherished by their owner. We expect our guests to treat our properties with respect and the way you would want others to treat yours. Trash should be taken out, doors should not be left open allowing AC to escape, lights should be turned off when not in use, etc. If there is an issue, be flexible, we will try to fix it. If something is amiss, let us know, we will try to get it for you. Always leave a great review in our guest book, on the listing site you found us and our website. We believe booking direct leads to the best experience and know it is the least expensive. If you have booked on one of the listing sites, that is fine, know you have the choice to book direct in the future.

20. Parties, Events and Weddings, Etc. No parties, events or weddings are allowed at any of our properties. Holding an event or party without approval is grounds for immediate eviction and loss of funds.

21. Right of Access. Guest understands that the manager of the property may access the property for purpose of inspection, maintenance or other circumstance when deemed necessary with reasonable notification to the guest for purposes of ensuring the safety and security of the property.

22. Maximum Guest Count and Parking.

23. Construction Noise: We cannot predict or control construction or other noise related activities around or near our properties. Local municipalities allow for construction noise during certain hours of the day and are the sole regulator.

24. Pools and Hot Tubs: Temperature fluctuations during the year and mechanical breakdowns of the equipment are possible at any property. Some of our pools are heated, some are not, and some are controlled by condo associations. As a rule, we try to heat our pools to 80-85 degrees for pools that have heaters. In the winter guests should expect for the pool temperature to fluctuate and during significant cold fronts and even a few days after heated pools may not be swimmable or comfortable to some. The magnitude of change is dependent on the frequency and severity of cold fronts which is beyond the control of FSVR. Similarly, it is common in the summer for pools to at times reach over 90 degrees naturally. Please plan your trip accordingly. Guest understands and agrees that there will be NO REFUNDS due to inclement weather, temperature fluctuations, breakdown of the equipment, or any other circumstance involving pools and hot tubs. FSVR will expeditiously repair items in the best interests of the property and in a timely manner as to minimize the inconvenience to guests whenever possible. Hot Tubs at homes that have them are a convenience amenity and not specifically advertised. No Refunds will be given for breakdowns, intermittent service, inability to use the equipment, inoperability, or loss of use. Guest will thoughtfully manage the privilege of Hot Tub heat and turn off when not in use.

25. Electrical Power, Internet, WiFi, TV's, Etc: Internet, Wifi, and Land Line phone service are provided by Spectrum in most of our properties. It is the guest responsibility to contact Spectrum at (855) 222-0102 with any issues involving the service. Spectrum requires someone in the home during the call and will send a signal to the equipment to attempt to troubleshoot issues. If that does not resolve the issue, they will typically send a technician out to repair issues. Often most issues can be resolved by unplugging the cable box, waiting a few moments and plugging it back in to reboot. If that does not resolve the issue DO NOT call our office, Spectrum to trouble shoot the issue or find out the status of known outages. Typically, FSVR provides cable TV in the main living room. Most of our properties have TV’s in bedrooms. Many owners have chosen to install smart TV’s in the living room and/or bedrooms with ROKU access, Netflix or HDMI streaming capability rather than traditional cable. Location and capability of TV’s can change and are not guaranteed. It is up to each owner to decide which cable package and channels to provide. NO REFUNDS will be given for outages, intermittent service, changes to TV location or any other circumstance involving cable TV, Internet, phone, Etc. Similarly, Duke Energy provides power to our properties. In the event of an outage guest should call 727-443-2641 to find the status.
