11 An additional fee will be levied if the Guest requires the pool to be heated during their stay as detailed in the rental charges, or as agreed between the Owner/Manager and the guests(s). Guests may use the swimming pool at their own risk. They should always observe the safety rules listed in the Vacation Home Safety Book held in the home and observe the pool safety notice displayed in the pool area.

Pool heating will be switched on prior to the day of arrival if ordered in sufficient time prior to arrival. The pool should be warm upon arrival. There is a 3 day minimum request for pool heat. Having ordered pool heating, the Owner/Manager is not responsible for the weather. During cool weather months, guests are asked to place the provided pool blanket on the pool when not in use.

12 The pool is cleaned and chemically balanced every week for your safety and comfort; however on rare occasions it may be necessary to apply extra chemicals to the pool to maintain safe and correct chemical levels. Should this occur during your stay it will be necessary for you to be out of the pool for a period of 12-24 hours for safety reasons.

13 As owners of the property, we, our managers or agents, will not be liable for any loss or delay occasioned by any of the following: strikes, riots, political unrest, war or the threat of war, terrorist activities, industrial disputes, fire, flood, technical/weather problems to transport, aircraft, closure of airports, or any other event beyond the owner’s control.

14 The maximum occupancy is determined by the number of bedrooms in the home. Generally speaking 2 persons per bedroom are permitted. Some homes may offer sleep sofas that allow additional persons. This is mentioned in the advertisement for each home. Please note that contravention of the above will render your booking void, all moneys paid will be forfeited and you will be asked to leave the villa immediately without further compensation.

15 Strictly no pets or smoking are allowed in the villa at any time. Please note that contravention of the above will render your booking void and all moneys will be forfeited. A pet may be permitted if a Home Owner allows a pet. If this is the case it will be advertised in the home advertisement and additional deposit monies will be charged to the Guest.

16 The vacation home is situated in a quiet residential area consisting of approximately 50/50 rental homes/US families. It is a condition of the rental that you should be considerate in your behavior and keep noise levels to a reasonable level so as not to disturb our neighbors.

17 Complaints: We sincerely hope you do not have any! . . . But in the unlikely event that you wish to register a complaint during your holiday, contact the property management company immediately and follow this up with a letter. Give a copy to them and send us a copy on your return. Unfortunately we are not always able to control the components of your rented accommodation and it is possible that an advertised facility may be withdrawn or changed due to circumstances beyond our control and for which we cannot accept liability.

18 Gas BBQ grills are available for rental at a cost of $90. 00 per week. It is against Florida law to use the BBQ within the screened pool enclosure – it must be positioned outside of the screened enclosure on the paving slabs provided. Any damage to the house or the pool screen caused by use of the BBQ will be chargeable, and deducted from your security deposit.

If the BBQ is faulty upon your arrival or becomes faulty during your stay, no refund will be granted.
