Please note, this plan cannot be added to a reservation (even through an SDVR Agent) for any stays during a “named” storm.

CLEANING CHARGE: A non-refundable housekeeping/cleaning charge will be included with all reservations. A housekeeping/cleaning charge varies on the size of the property. An additional cleaning fee will be incurred for any stays 28 days or longer. The cleaning charge cannot be reduced if a guest stays one night or ten nights as the contracted cleaning technicians perform the same cleaning process to a property every day. We pride ourselves on preparing each property so our guests arrive to enjoy a freshly cleaned and sanitized property ready for a relaxing stay. Unfortunately, sometimes things are inadvertently overlooked or missed during the guest preparation process and if that’s the case, we ask that you please contact us (call, text or email) within a few hours of your arrival so we may immediately rectify the situation. We’re not able to resolve an issue if it’s not shared with us. Please be aware sand is all around us on Amelia Island and the closer to the beach, the more of it. The cleaning technicians do their absolute best to remove all traces of sand, but sometimes - hard as they may – it may linger. Sand is the necessary evil of enjoying the beach. Properties left in extremely dirty or abused condition (beyond normal wear and tear) including but not limited to, linens, furniture, furnishings, floors/carpet and the like will be subject to additional cleaning fees and charges. BOOKING FEE: A non-refundable booking fee will be charged to all reservations. CHECK-IN TIME: Check-in is on or after 4:00pm EST – Early check-ins are not possible March through October, please don’t ask. In some cases, access to your reserved property may be unavoidably delayed due to cleaning or maintenance issues (especially during high-demand seasons). SDVR makes it a priority to expedite this process, but will under no circumstances issue compensation for a check-in after 4pm EST. CHECK-OUT TIME: Check-out is by 10:00am EST - Late check-outs are not possible March through October, please don’t ask. Unless otherwise arranged with Agent, the 10:00am EST check-out time is crucial for the housekeeping/cleaning contractor to perform housekeeping duties. In the event the contractor’s housekeeping/cleaning crew cannot enter the vacation rental premises due to an unauthorized late check-out, you will be will be subject to a $100. 00 charge every hour past the 10am EST check-out time; and, if past 4pm EST, an additional night will be charged at double the regular rate. Guests are expected to leave the property in neat condition, remove all trash, start the dishwasher with a load of dishes and place used towels in the shower/tub. Bed linens should remain on the beds. Please refer to the specific check-out instructions in the property. PROPERTY ACCESS, PARKING PASSES, POOL ACCESS: All properties are accessible via keyless locks that require a 4 to 6 digit door code which is emailed to you 72 to 24 hours prior to your reservation arrival check-in date. Parking passes, pool passes or the like are provided inside the property, in Guest Notebook and retrievable upon your check-in. Such items should be returned to the guest notebook at the time of departure to avoid additional charges. NO SMOKING POLICY All SDVR properties are smoke-free environments. Smoking is defined as, but not limited to, any lighted cigarette, cigar, pipe, or vape containing tobacco products or any other smoking products whether legal or illegal. For the safety and health of all guests smoking is strictly prohibited both inside and outside the rental property and all common areas. Failure to comply with this policy will result in immediate eviction from the property and a minimum $500 charge. PET POLICY Most SDVR properties are NOT pet friendly communities for guests. Properties accepting pets are noted in the online property description. Failure to comply with the pet policy will result in additional charges to cover the cost of cleaning furniture and carpeting, charges to cover Owner's fine by HOA if applicable, as well as result in immediate eviction from the property. Damaged property due to a pet will result in a separate charge based on a case by case review. When booking a pet-friendly unit, please accept the non-refundable pet fee in the reservation options to avoid additional charges, and indicate the type of animal in the comments section of the online booking process. A $200 non-refundable pet fee is charged per animal with a maximum of two (2) pets per stay. The non-refundable pet fee may vary depending on the breed and weight of pet(s). The pet policy pertains to dogs and cats only - no other type of animals are permitted. ANY EVIDENCE OF A PET(S) IN A NON-PET FRIENDLY PROPERTY WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE EVICTION AND A MINIMUM $500 CHARGE. SERVICE ANIMALS: A service animal is allowed to accompany a guest into a property that is not usually pet-friendly. Note: Emotional support, therapy, comfort and or/companion animals are not considered service animals under ADA guidelines. In order to verify the animal in question is a service animal, the ADA allows places of public accommodations to document answers to specific questions. If you plan to travel with your service animal, at the time of your reservation request, please be prepared to answer these questions and provide copies of service animal certification papers. These requirements are necessary to allow your service animal to stay in our property, and so we may share with the property owner and HOA, if applicable for a non-pet friendly complex. SUBLETTING: Reservations are not transferable. MAINTENANCE: Please report any maintenance issues to our office during your stay. Maintenance orders will be handled in the order they are received. SDVR’s staff and authorized vendors may enter the properties to respond to any maintenance or housekeeping issues during your stay. There are NO refunds or adjustments for maintenance issues or unforeseen failures such as, but not limited to, the supply of electricity, water, television, cable or satellite providers, appliances, air conditioning or heating. INTERNET: All SDVR properties include internet (Wi-Fi) access. AVR does not, however, guarantee internet connectivity. If a guest does access internet content during the stay, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for ensuring any accessed material does not violate laws regarding copyright, trademarks, pornography or any material deemed slanderous, defamatory or offensive. No refunds will be given due to loss or interruption of internet (Wi-Fi) service. GRILLS AND FIREPITS: Private grills, community grills, and firepits are available at select properties as a courtesy and are to be used solely at your own risk. Propane, charcoal, wood, and grilling utensils, as well as proper grill and firepit usage, are your responsibility. Grills and firepits are not disassembled or deep cleaned in between guests. Homeowner Associations may prohibit and/or restrict grills and firepits. For details on availability and restrictions, please visit the individual page for your property. WHAT TO BRING WITH YOU: SDVR properties are stocked with many of the comforts of home, including bedding and kitchen essentials such as dishware and utensils. Upon arriving for your stay with us, you will find your rental property has been stocked with a starter supply of toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, laundry pods, dishwashing pods, liquid dishwashing soap, body soap and shampoo. These items are a starter supply to get you through your first 24 hours, but you will want to pick up additional supplies to get you through the remainder of your stay. Napkins, condiments, cooking spices and coffee filters are other things you may want to purchase while at the store. Other items you might want to consider bringing, or renting from a local company, include cribs, pack-n-plays, highchairs and any other items required by the youngest travelers in your group. And, while bath towels are provided, beach towels are not, so be sure to bring yours from home. Beach chairs, beach umbrellas, beach toys and the like are not provided so you may want to bring your own, rent or purchase for your stay. NEIGHBORHOOD/HOA RULES: Most neighborhoods and condo complexes are controlled by a Homeowner Association. These associations have strict rules in many cases regarding parking, garbage removal, towels hanging from balconies, trailers and RVs. For questions about restrictions in neighborhoods and condo complexes, please contact an SDVR representative. For your convenience, complex/residence HOA Rules and Regulations (if applicable) are provided in each property in the guest notebook. In the event of non-compliance guests are responsible for any fines that may be imposed. Property quiet time begins at 10:00pm and ends at 9:00am. Guests are encouraged to always be a good neighbor – above you, below you and beside you. Remember the Golden Rule.

No refunds will be given in the event of nearby construction or on-site construction required by homeowner associations to preserve the integrity of the building, complex or structure. BEACH RULES: Please help us in keeping our beaches beautiful. Remove all umbrellas, chairs, and toys from the beach each day. Items left on the beach after sunset or placed on the beach before sunrise will be removed by Code Enforcement and may not be recoverable.
