This contract is an agreement between the Guest and Vacation Homes Collection (VHC) who is acting as the owner’s representative for referenced rental property. All other policies set forth in this agreement become effective at time of booking and are agreed upon between the renter and VHC once the confirmation email is sent. After 24 hours, all terms and conditions apply. Additionally, entrance into property at check-in constitutes full acceptance of all terms of this agreement between Owner or Owners Representative and Guest. OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITY: Owner agrees to provide unit in a clean, decent and sanitary condition on arrival of renter. Renter accepts condo as is, and as shown on our website (changes in decor, bedding, furnishings may change without notice). Upon arrival, please inspect condo and notify owner of any problems. Please report any housekeeping issues within 3 hours of arrival so VHC can promptly address issues. Renter agrees to give owner and VHC a reasonable amount of time to resolve any problems that may be encountered on arrival or during stay at property. On some rare occasions, the condo may not be cleaned before your check-in, by inadvertent fault of cleaners. If condo is not cleaned with fresh towels and linens upon check-in to our condo or if you find any other problem(s), Renter agrees to call VHC immediately, so that we may fix problem(s), as deemed necessary by VHC and/or Owner and at VHC/Owner's sole discretion. Housekeeping refunds/adjustments will not be given for unit cleaning issues unless they are not corrected after VHC has been notified and given a reasonable opportunity to remedy. CHECK-IN: Check-in begins at 4PM. During peak summer periods, check in may be delayed due to our commitment to providing a clean and inspected unit. If you plan to arrive after 4PM please email so we can best prioritize the cleaning schedule and be able to spend extra time preparing your rental. Please note, if you enter the rental before check-in time without approval, a $200 early check-in fee will be charged to the card on file. CHECK-OUT: Check out is at 10AM. Please give us a text if you will be departing early so we can schedule housekeeping accordingly. Any late departures (after 10AM) will be subject to a charge of an additional day, which Guest acknowledges and authorizes to be automatically charged to the credit card on file. Please be sure to refer to and follow the Departure Instructions that will be provided prior to arrival. Missing items (such as keys, arm bands, parking passes, fobs, lanyards, etc) will be charged to Guest. Lost keys will additionally result in locksmith re-keying services that will be charged to Guest. Owner/VHC is not responsible for items left in the unit, but VHC will be happy to return lost items when found if requested (items will be shipped at the guest’s expense). Items found will be only be kept for 30 days. AFTER HOURS EMERGENCIES, SERVICE CALLS, AND LOCKOUTS: Contact Vacation Homes Collection in the event of an after-hours emergency. Service calls made necessary by actions of Guests/Visitors shall be solely at Guest expense and will charged to the credit card on file or deducted from the security deposit including, but not limited to: lockouts, clogging toilets with moist wipes or other non-flushable items, not leaving key in lock box, or otherwise not accommodating unit access during scheduled time. Any such service calls will result in a minimum $40 service call fee, higher for after hours, weekends or extended repairs. PETS: PLEASE NOTE- Pets are not allowed in rental properties that are not deemed Pet Friendly. Renter agrees not to bring pets into non-pet-friendly units, balconies, service halls or elevators, or any other indoor or prohibited outdoor area. Any evidence indicating violation of these terms as deemed by owner/management will result in a minimum $500 fine charged to your credit card/deducted from security deposit plus any additional damage costs or cleaning fees that may be incurred. Unless otherwise noted, pets (including pets belonging to non-paying guests temporarily visiting unit) are at no time permitted within the rental property, nor permitted anywhere on the property unless the resort/complex is “Pet Friendly” and you have registered the pet with our office, the Pet Addendum is executed and the per pet, non-refundable pet fee $100 has been paid. Any indication of any pet being on the property without prior approval and payment of the pet fee will result in a $350 per pet fee on your credit card, plus any additional damages or cleaning fees that may have been incurred. If we are called out by a complaint of your pet disturbing the neighbors you will be charged a service call fee of $50 and may be asked to vacate the property with no refunds, in addition to the above penalties. Any pet waste not cleaned by guest’s pet in a Pet-Friendly unit is a clear violation of this Agreement and will result in immediate $250. SMOKING: PLEASE NOTE- Smoking is not allowed in any rental property (including balconies and patios), and renter agrees not to smoke in condo, balconies, service halls or elevators, or any other indoor or prohibited outdoor area. Any evidence indicating violation of these terms as deemed by owner/management will result in a minimum $250 fine charged to your credit card/deducted from security deposit plus any additional damage costs or cleaning fees that may be incurred. Any posted non-smoking signs on resort grounds should also be strictly obeyed, and guests can only smoke in designated smoking areas (if available.) Smoking in a prohibited area will result in a fine imposed by the resort. Smoke detectors inside the resort buildings, particularly but not limited to elevators, are sensitive to any airborne particulates (cigarette/cigar smoke or vapors, aerosol spray, water vapor, etc.) and are easily triggered due to the small confinements and close proximity of detectors, which creates a false alarm. Triggering any indoor alarms, regardless of substance will resort in a fine imposed by the resort. Smoking found in any unit is a clear violation of this Agreement and will result in immediate eviction from the property with no refund, whatsoever, of payments made. MINIMUM RENTAL AGE: Renter must be at least 25 years old with valid driver’s license and all members of the rental party must be either 25 years of age or older or traveling as part of a family with at least one member of the party 25 years of age or older.

The qualifying person renting the property is responsible for the conduct of all guests and other occupants, and that person must occupy the property for the full term of the reservation. Underage renters will not be given access to unit or will be required to leave without refund if this requirement is not met. CONFIRMATIONS: The emailed rental confirmation you receive serves as confirmation of your reservation. Please review the information carefully to verify the property rented, the dates of the rental, and the applicable charges and any special notes.

If these items are not completed, guest authorizes VHC to charge a minimum fee of $50 to guest credit card.

There is generally little to no impact, and work is rarely done after-hours or weekends, however when necessary there may be limited or restricted access to certain areas of the grounds or property. In cases where VHC is notified in advance, we will do our best to inform guests of any projects that could be in progress during your travels.

For stays over a week, there is the possibility of a monthly maintenance visit to complete routine services and address any outstanding issues. Access will be required.

If your rental includes the Damage Waiver Fee, you will not be responsible for accidental damages that are the result of inadvertent or unintentional damage to the interior of the rental property, provided they are reported to management prior to check-out. Guest deemed responsible for any expense not covered by the damage waiver will be charged to the card on file.
