Vacation Rental Agreement

This is your short-term vacation rental agreement. Please let us know if you have any issues during your stay and we will work to get it resolved. If you have any questions, please email or call us.

Rental Agreement: This Agreement (agreement) constitutes a contract between the Guest (you, your) and the Owner (us, we, our) of the Vacation Rental Property (property). By signing this agreement, you and your guests are agreeing to all terms and conditions listed in the rental agreement. Your vacation rental is a transient rental under state law. This means that your tenancy is temporary for the stated time period only. At no time is the property to be sublet or assigned to another individual. Please do not make any repairs, alterations, or improvements in or about the property.

Confirmation of Reservation: Your reservation is confirmed when we receive your electronically signed rental agreement and non-fundable advance payment equal to 50% of the rental rate. The name on this agreement must be an adult who is at least 25 years old and will be the responsible party for the reservation and all rental obligations.

Payment: An advance payment equal to 50% of the rental rate is required at the time of booking. The advance payment will be applied toward the rent. Please make payments via credit card or personal checks. The advance payment is not a damage deposit. The balance is due 60 days before your arrival date. Reservations made less than 60 days prior to arrival require full payment at the time of booking.

Accidental Damage Protection: Accidental damage protection is included for any damages or accidents, subject to exclusions and limitations that occur to the premises during your rental period up to $3000. Any damage or accident that is not covered under the policy will be the responsibility of the leaseholder.

The purchase of the insurance still requires you to follow the check-out list outlined in the check-out details, and you must follow all terms and conditions.

Cancellation: Cancellations made more than 60 days prior to your arrival will receive a total refund of any advance payments less a $350 cancellation fee.

Cancellations made within 60 days of the check-in date will receive no refund and you will forfeit any money paid in advance.

Maximum Occupancy: The maximum number of total guests, including adults plus children, is 8 (1 additional infant allowed). If you are found in breach of this contract, you will be evicted and no money will be refunded. Only people who have registered with us as a guest may stay overnight on the property.

No Pets: This property does NOT allow pets in order to respect the health and safety of all current and future guests, especially those who have allergies. If a pet is found on the property during your stay, we have a right to ask you to vacate the property immediately with no refund of any kind. Upon departure, if the cleaning company detects any evidence of a pet, you will forfeit your deposit and additional fees may apply.

No Smoking or Open Flame: No smoking or vaping is allowed inside the property or on any deck or balcony. No candles or open flames of any kind are allowed inside the property or on any deck or balcony. Upon departure, if the cleaning company detects any evidence of smoking and/or open flames, you will forfeit your deposit and additional fees may apply.

Severe Weather/Hurricanes/Tropical Storms: There are no refunds for severe weather including hurricanes, hurricane evacuations, and tropical storms. It is highly recommended, but not required, that you purchase travel insurance.

The golf cart waiver will be sent separately via Adobe Sign and must be returned before the golf cart keys are provided.

All renters and guest accept all risks associated with the use of the pool and specifically agrees that no minors will swim unaccompanied by an adult. The pool is maintained by a pool service, but it cannot be guaranteed that a maintenance, electrical, or mechanical issue will not happen which results in the pool being out of use.

If there are any malfunctions during the rental period, the renter agrees to notify the property manager immediately. No compensation will be given for a non-functioning pool.
